| Jihadis kill 3 in southern Thailand |
| 2006-08-21 |
| Muslim militants shot dead three Buddhist men and wounded three women in attacks in Thailand's rebellious south on Monday, police said, the latest in the two-year separatist insurgency. Gunmen riding pillion on two motorcycles shot dead the three Buddhists 300 metres from an army outpost as they loaded a truck with pungent smelling durian fruit they had bought from farmers in a Muslim village in Yala province. The killing came days after leaflets were strewn around towns in Yala, one of three violence-plagued southern provinces, telling Buddhist to leave the predominantly Muslim areas. In nearby Narathiwat province, a gunman riding pillion on a motorcycle wounded two Buddhist women and a Muslim woman as they rode home from a market on a single motorcycle, police said. "Muslim villagers took the Muslim woman to hospital, but the Buddhist mother and daughter had to wait until police arrived because they were afraid of being seen as helping the government," Police Colonel Thanongsak Wangsupa told Reuters. |

| #8 Thanks, mhw. Euphemisms like "insurgents", "rebels" and all the rest make my skin crawl. |

| #7 ryuge I like the way you call them Jihadis. It is probably a better name than Islamic Fascists since 'fascist' has a nationalistic connotation. |

| #5 Seriously, when WILL the Buddhist majority in Thailand wake the hell up to the cancer in their midst? How many dead is it going to take for them to realize that the muzzies want to take the southern part of their country. Stackem and burnem indeed. |

| #4 You Buddists are no longer welcome in your own country. Muzzie invaders say so. Pacifism will only get you murdered. Time to start a rampage on Muzzies. Stackem' and burnem' as rapidly as you can. You have no alternative. |

| #2 "Muslim militants shot dead three Buddhist men and wounded three women in attacks in Thailand's rebellious south on Monday, police said ..." Very misleading to call it Thailand's "rebellious south." More like infiltrators from Muslim Malaysia, supported by Saudi-funded Wahhabi imams, schools, audio and video tapes, literature, and of course, weapons, is the real problem. That local Muzzies have joined the call to jihad is certain, but the issue remains: From where to the exhortations and weapons come? |
