Popular Post bigbamboo Posted May 31, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted May 31, 2014 Are these terrorists really that stupid that they think bombing a shop will make any difference to any government anywhere in the world? At least go for the people who make the decisions not the innocents who can do nothing about it. But of course that would require a modicum of courage and bravery, not something readily associated with your bog standard muslim footsoldier. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have only a small part of the picture here - we don't know if this shop owner is "innocent" in the eyes of the insurgents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For radical Muslims, everyone who cooperates with the government is an enemy. They target loyal Muslims too. Every now and then they need to set an example for the rest of the community. Terror in its simplest form. By the way, they kill teachers just for doing their job in the Deep South. The Federation of Teachers of Three Southern Border Provinces today (Friday) issued a statement condemning the brutal murder of a female teacher in Yala province on the same day. The latest victim of senseless violence in the Deep South was identified as Ms Siriporn Srichai, a teacher at Ban Tabangdee-ngee school in Tambon Sataeng, Muang district of Yala. She became the 170th teachers killed in the restive region during the past ten years. Ms Siriporn was riding a motorcycle from home to school Friday morning. She was approached by two suspected insurgents riding in another motorcycle. Then the pillion rider shot her at point-blank range with a pistol and fell on the road. The two assailants then poured gasoline on her body and set in on fire. Mr Boonsom Thongsriprai, president of the federation, said he felt very sorry for the incident which he described as brutal and heart-shattering. However, he said he wondered why Ms Siriporn travelled alone despite the fact that security forces were available to provide protection to travelling teachers.

Popular Post Kerryd Posted May 31, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted May 31, 2014 Where does it end ? After almost a decade in Afghanistan I get to look forward to living in Thailandistan. As we used to say in the army, same sh(i)t, different pile. Fanatics come in all types. Different nationalities, ages, genders, races, religions, backgrounds. All do have some things in common though. They have a "cause" and the belief that their "cause" is the right one and the willingness to do almost anything to further that cause. Be they anti-abortionists, anti-whalers, anti-capitalists, environmental crusaders or religious fanatics, they often believe that anyone who isn't with them, is against them. Most of the fanatics are brainwashed to some degree by the people that need others to do their dirty work for them. Despite all the pictures of Osama with AKs and RPGs, he wasn't the one leading the attacks, planting the bombs or otherwise "getting his hands dirty". He had lieutenants and underlings to do those things, and die for his "cause". Same for Mullah Omar, al-Zawahiri and the rest of their ilk. The puppet-masters try to keep their own butts safe while sending others out to commit crimes (and die) in their place. (Note - the "Green Peace'rs" aren't generally "fanatics". Motivated activists perhaps, but not likely to try and torture/murder other people for their cause.) The worst part is, there is simply no pleasing most of those fanatics (or their "masters"). If you give in to their various demands, they'll come up with new ones. If you try to compromise, they'll take that as a sign of weakness and press harder. If you bring down the heavy-handed hammer on them, you risk creating more of the same. There are learned people that spend years researching such matters and trying to find solutions, just as there are others who have little.......patience...... for such problems and try for faster, harsher methods. As we can see from the world around us, none have found viable solution yet. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cgphuket Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Targeting the people of the south will not get attention with the criminals leaders in charge of thailand. Not that I am making suggestions, but eventually they will get smart enough to target Patong, Pattaya, or MBK if they really want to make an impact. Amazes me it hasn't happened. Also amazed the Army is still so unconcerned after 20 years. More have dies there than in all the Burma / Cambodia border conflicts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phanangpete Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 The Japs annexed Malaysia and gave the land to the Thai's for being so helpful during the second world war, the land was rich in rice fields so a wellcome gift then, but now ? The japs in their occupation of Malay took the opportunity to massicare the Chinese, as the indo China war was going on prior to the start of the second world war, hence the excuse they had been waiting for to get into the war, Germany had not invited them . They separted the Chinese from the Malay villagers, women , children etc and then killed them. Having taken Singapore , they marched the allied captured troops North to build , thats right the famous railway. So will they give the land back, ofcourse they will, always do eh !

Just put them out, forever!Sent from my iPad So by "them" do you refer to terrorist scum or are all muslims to be judged by the actions of the fanatics? By "put them out" are you advocating a well thought out campaign of building trust amongst communities, whilst demonstrating an ability to protect those who will help root out the terrorist scum as well as tracking down and putting an end to terrorist activities (hopefully with ainimum loss if life on all sides) while addressing the grievances that led to the current violence or do you just want indiscriminate slaughter.

First of all, the topic is about radical Muslims attacking innocent civilians in the deep south once again. So it is about radical Muslims. Them continually attacking and killing civilians is the real issue as far as Thailand is concern. Nothing to do with Buddhists in Myanmar or Christians in Africa.

impulse Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Interesting that they have determined without doubt that this was the work of Muslim insurgents. Based on what? An arson fire in the early morning with no casualties sounds more like a business dispute or a family feud. As for the felled tree, with a banner- that could have been anyone wanting it to look like insurgents. A felled tree across a road with no casualties, and no bombs discovered could have been chalked up to a drunken high school prank where I come from. Too many holes in these 2 unrelated stories to neatly bundle them as the work of despotic Muslims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Yann55 Posted May 31, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted May 31, 2014 (edited) I'm with you TimCM. But the violent anti-muslim feelings and comments that have become so common in the Western world since 9/11 are the result of an irrational fear (among other things). Addressing them with sensible arguments is like trying to teach Latin to a donkey, wouldn't you say ? mind you donkeys are not stupid, they are intelligent animals actually. It's not religions that distort human beings, it's the other way round. Edited May 31, 2014 by Yann55 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
