| Buddhists hold rally in southern Thailand |
| 2007-03-27 |
| An estimated 1,000 Buddhists have rallied in Thailand's Muslim-majority south, calling on the government to do more to halt what they fear is becoming a sectarian conflict. The rally took place in the town of Saba Yoi in Songkhla province, where three students were killed in a shooting at an Islamic school two weeks ago. Some Muslim residents have blamed the attack on security forces and want the government to withdraw its rangers from the district. But Buddhist residents say that could create a security vacuum, and have demanded that the rangers stay in the district. The letter also called for more government forces to be deployed to the area to keep the peace, and for more weapons to be provided to a volunteer defence militia. |

| #4 The very basis for Islam is the support of terrorism. It's part of the pseudo-religion of islam. Convert or die, that is youe choice according to islams teaching. |

| #3 Some Muslim residents have blamed the attack on security forces and want the government to withdraw its rangers from the district. Total lack of logic on their part, unless you support the terrorist..hmmm |
