| Muslims kill 3 and set fire to Buddhist temple |
| 2005-10-16 |
| SUSPECTED Muslim militants killed a Buddhist monk and two teenage boys and set fire to a temple in Thailand's restive south, police said today. The militants who attacked the Buddhist temple in the southern Pattani province late yesterday had slit the 76-year-old monk's throat, said a police report obtained by Reuters. The charred bodies of the two teenagers were found in the temple, said the report, which did not give details. A Buddhist farmer was beheaded on Friday, the second decapitation since the Islamic holy month of Ramadan began and the 12th in 21 months of unrest in the region that has claimed more than 900 lives. Although the government has sent 30,000 soldiers and police to the region, where 80 per cent of people are Muslim, ethnic Malays, the insurgency appears to be growing. Booby traps, decoy attacks and ambushes of army and police convoys have become daily occurrences in the densely wooded region, suggesting the anti-Bangkok guerrillas are becoming more sophisticated and inventive. |

| #9 Payback is slowly coming to the muslims.. The Balinese are growing very impatient with them, Russians are rounding them up & i was reading an article the other day about a group of Russian skin-heads beating up a group of muslims with iron bars while they were shouting "Russia for Russians" & "there is no room for Muslims in Russia". Paybacks a bitch |

| #7 I once asked a secular Moslem why so many Buddhists were murdered by Jihadis. Believe it or not he first blamed Israel but then I asked how about the Buddhists murdered in the 8th, 9th, etc. centuriers. Then he blamed the Christian missionaries for inciting the Buddhists to make anti Islamic remarks. |

| #6 Also, I saw a photo on Cellar IOTD, and it wiped off any smile I had on my face from the swimming piglets of the day before.... (I can't include an img tag, I keep getting redirected to roadsideamerica.com if I do...weird) It's called a monkmobile, and it's to protect the monks from the ROP. |

| #5 I agree Zenster, but I think that the payback for Islam will not be pleasant. There are too many people now who aware of what ROPMA means and frankly, they don't like it. |

| #4 When another religious sect views Buddhists as a threat, that ought to set off some pretty clangorous alarms. So, does it? [John Belushi] - But noooooooooooooooooooooo! [/JB] This world must awaken itself to the hideous prospect of Global Cultural Genocide that awaits those who downplay the threat of Islamist terrorism. |

| #2 Buddhism arose in the Indian subcontinent but its followers, pacifist as they were, could not resist the onslaught of the muslim armies invading from the west. Millions were killed and enslaved, the great libraries destroyed, temples coated with naptha and burned. Having almost eradicating the religion from the land of its birth, the jihadists seek further conquests. |
