wmac Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 (edited) If anyone ever doubted: Iran=State sponsored terrorism!! Well done to the Thais to have got some of the bastards. - Do we really believe he could operate for 10 years without having some supporting friends in some local organizations? How could he sell thousands of fake passports without getting caught? I see you are repeating unproven propaganda like it is a fact: - Not that I like them, but if you mean Hizbollah by those sponsored terrorists, Hizbollah is a legal party and militia in Lebanon who fought and forced occupiers (aka Israelis) back from Lebanon. - Those who call Hizbollah and Iran as terrorist supporters are proven to be terrorists themselves. Israel was established by terrorist organizations like Irgun, Lehi and Hagana. Mind you? Israel had full support of western countries in all that (including France, UK and US). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_religious_terrorism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haganah https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irgun https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lehi_(group) - The US and western countries supported several terrorist organizations against Iran (they killed 12,000 in Iran). They now have an office in Washington DC. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People%27s_Mujahedin_of_Iran - Iran has not attacked any country in centuries (was attacked by many including UK, France, Russia, US, Iraq and some more) while those so called free world countries have attacked and occupied several (tens?) of countries. Right now Iran is helping to control the terrorist organization (aka ISIS) which was created by the support of some western countries to fight Asad in syria. You can refer to the illegal visit of US Senators to Syria in order to support them in their fight against ellected government of Syria. So, when spitting out statements, at least put a little element of doubt in it. Edited March 19, 2015 by wmac 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Docno Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 If anyone ever doubted: Iran=State sponsored terrorism!! Well done to the Thais to have got some of the bastards. Most terrorism in the world is funded by other countries than Iran... And that makes the terrorism funded by Iran somehow better does it? Purleeze. The two types of posts that really make the hairs on my neck stand up are. 1. If you don't like it, go home. 2. It happens everywhere. My knee jerk response to those are..... 1. If my glass is still half full, why the heck should I? 2. It shouldn't happen there either. My knee jerk response to you: "1. If my glass is still half full, why the heck should I [leave]?" Perhaps to find a place that will better fill your glass - if no such place exists, then perhaps you are the problem. "2. It shouldn't happen there either." Then don't sing the "TIT refrain" as if the problem is unique to this country. Too many people here have nothing to contribute except complaints about the country. It's only logical to wonder why they choose to stay ... most do have options, after all. And complaining on a forum does nothing. So put some gel on those neck hairs and they will stay in place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sambum Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 OH MA GAH! Good job, DSI. Their job seems to be up to par with professionalism after the new govt took over. This government deserves no special credit. Did you catch this line in the article: "The DSI has managed to root out many Iranian syndicates involved in making fake passports over the past years, she said." There have been several such cases in the past, often with Iranians or Pakistanis running the show. For example, see: http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/561337-iranian-suspected-of-producing-fake-passports-arrested-in-central-pattaya/ The unit responsible for rooting out these gangs was established within DSI in 2012 (http://www.thebigchilli.com/features/thailands-crime-busters-set-sights-on-passport-fraud-gangs). Guess that would put it under the YL administration. And would guess that under that administration they didn't do too much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JenksB Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Good thing they nailed him but what about the footer in the photo letting us know who is in the photo. What are Farang doing there Are they in the special investigative branch Just a poor job of reporting but then again typical for a Thai "The arrest of Murel Gurat, 45, a long-time Bangkok resident with a lot of businesses, was announced at the head office of the DSI Wednesday. Present at the press conference were representatives from the Special Branch Police Bureau and several embassies." Not a poor job of reporting just a poor job of reading, the copied quote from above shows the information, too quick to Thai bash !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pegman Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 This is an important arrest and another positive step in stopping Human Trafficking and most likely, terrorism. Kudos tho Thailand for getting this done !!! Now bring on the Thai bashing TV ... we can not WAIT for all your negative comments. Very touchy. Hey, there are no Americans to bash but there will be a way How can we not with all the great material they provide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sir charles IV Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Unfortunately as long as we allow Islamic ideology penetrating our lives we'll have to deal with this sort of thing. Before migration of Muslims into west or Far East we had no terrorism issues, no forgers, no major crime syndicates, not scared of being blown up, no unemployment, and no hygiene related diseases etc. Time to cleans me says 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phuketrichard Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 OH MA GAH! Good job, DSI. Their job seems to be up to par with professionalism after the new govt took over. Before you totally get into another dimmension walk down Khao San road and ask for a forged passport. You can buy a bad fake for B 20 000 and a good one for B 200 k. This operation is run by Malay thugs with Thai's as the sellers. By taking out the Iranians the Malay operation will have less opposition. Google the subject and you will find a whole investigation was done on it by an Australian TV station about 2 or 3 years ago. good luck finding one for 200 k and u think its easy to make contacts??

cookee68 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Lets just hope that they don't bail this piece of shit, because we all know how it works in Thailand, next we will here is that they are all genuine passports, and they are his friends etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has nothing to do with Iran as a country and terrorism. This man and many of his Paki and Bangli friends operate from the Khao San area, and even offer foreigners in need of a couple of hundred dollars for their passport, which they can claim stolen at the police after 3 to 5 days, when another person has left the country with the reported passport, many of these end up in Japan, Australia, and a lot of their customers are even Israeli.

Malthus101 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Every Iranian I have ever met has been highly intelligent and highly cultured, way more than your typical Westerner. The Pentagon already has them on the list for invasion, after a few other countries are done first. It's a real shame - they will paint anyone to be the bad guy (apart from themselves of course) if it suits their political and energy requirements.
