| Continued strife in south draws Thai Muslim minister's anger |
| 2007-01-15 |
| Interior Minister Aree Wong-araya on Monday condemned the continued violence in Thailand's Muslim-majority three southernmost provinces and singled out the murder and decapitation of a rubber farm worker as 'inhumane and brutal.' On Sunday a rubber tapper and his wife, both 38, were killed in an insurgent ambush in Yala Province and then the man was beheaded. Aree, who is a Muslim, called the act 'beyond any definition of brutality' and said he had never seen such cruel incidents during his working life in the civil service. 'If the killers were real Muslims, they would not do this. We must verify who is influencing the murderers,' he said. |

| #3 If the killers were real Muslims, they would not do this. Oh, look, that old lie again. He must sense the Buddhists are getting pissed; if he were sure they were calm or afraid, he'd have trotted out the "it's because of the humiliation" line and made demands. |

| #2 Sounds just like a mother defending the son who possesses a rap sheet a mile long against murder for which he was caught red-handed. A muslim beheading a kafir? Unheard of, right Aree. You're a pestilence. The ummas' aversion to facts and truth is truly amazing. |

| #1 Not the best "Moderate Muslim" skit I've ever seen. |
