School employee shot dead, rail station bombed in latest Thai violence
2006-11-07
A school staff was shot dead by insurgents in Thai violence-plagued southern province of Narathiwat Tuesday morning, while a huge bomb exploded at a railway station in another incident, a local source told Xinhua. The school worker was heading to the school in Ra-Ngae district when attacked by several gunmen at about 9 a.m. local time (02:00 GMT). The attackers shot him several times and soon left the site.

About 30 minutes later, a home-made bomb of five kilograms was trigered at a railway station in nearby Cho-Ai-Rong district. Nobody was killed or injured in the blast since no scheduled train and passengers were nearby at that time.

#12  Sorry, expect the Thai muzzies demanding a islamic state in the near future. They are taking notes from the ARMM in the Philippines.

#11  The Tsunami set back the movement a couple years, now it is back. Thailand and Indonesia both will be picking up in the next year or so. the Thais are just wishing this away, it is going to get worse, soon. Indonesia will slip away in total in the next two years.

#10  Did my monthly visit to my favorite Thai restaurant yesterday. The two ladies that own it were in a festive mood (first drink on the house !!!). Word came down from the Fed. Gov't that mother, an aunt and uncle have been cleared to immigrate to the USA from southern Thailand. Please don't ask me to tell you the name of the village unless you want a phonectic translation!

The family are Thai Buddhists. You'd swear they've lived in the USA for 10 generations given their prompt assimilation to our culture, but they've only been here for 15 years. Honest, happy, hard working people, family values, live and let live, no hint to wanting to spread their faith by the sword, get an education,pro military defense, women running the show as equals of their male counterparts in every respect, deference to authortiy but no hint of being sheep, a small tasteful American flag on a statue of Buddah displayed at the cash register. You'd think these folk were born Republican.

You want to see a Thai pissed off? Ask him or her "How's that Muslim thing going in southern Thailand"?

#9  They are acting almost like the Kmer Rouge: eliminate everything but the lowest level of society so they can form the upper layer.

Too true, Jackal. It's up to us to make sure that Islam forms the upper layer of our septic tanks. Where's that Koran toilet paper when you need it?

#8  Sea, that's interesting insight and something I hadn't noticed before. Amazing how much the jihadis and the Donks have in common, eh? Let's get rid of the middle class, ARRRRRGGGGHHHHH!

I thought I'd puke when I heard late yesterday, some Donk talking about how Bush and crew had absolutely screwed over the middle class to the benefit of "the rich" through his tax cuts. He literally said "He cut the taxes for those of us who can afford it, to the benefit of those who can't." Sound familiar anyone? And, I consider myself middle-class, and absolutely LOVE the Bush tax cuts! And, to boot, this year, I get to "deduct" my 2nd little future 'burger too!

#7  It's what the Arabs did to themselves. As soon as the Jews started expanding the economy and opening schools at the turn of the 1900s, the Arabs starting killing off those amongst themselves who threw off tradition to join in. The wonder is that, despite over a century of culling, there are still those who try.

#5  I see it more clearly in Thailand than in any other place...they are systematically destroying the entire middle class. They kill and bomb the teachers, the cops, the doctors, the shopkeepers, the restaurant owners and their patrons. The last statistic I saw said the rubber plantation production is down 6%, and that was a while ago, I bet it's even more now. The Arabian ontology requires that there be a bejeweled and begrenaded Turban-in-Chief (and his retainers and enforcers, of course) and an ocean of groveling slaves.

Wake up, Thailand, wake up.

#4  If it's not rote memorization of the Koran, it's not Islamic.

#1  Damn. Damn the Muzzies all to Hell. It's not a "violence-plagued" province - it's the Muzzy Plague rubbing up against any form of civil society. It's simply incompatible with humans. You'll have to kill it, eventually, so why the fuck not start now. Oh, I forgot, Muzzy Junta "PM". C'mon, Bhumibol, remember your roots, baby. Pretend they're Burmese and get seriously hinky on their asses. The Muzzies are your new mortal enemies. Get on it or pass that crown down.
