70 Said Killed in Thailand Gunbattles
Apr 27, 11:11 PM EST

BANGKOK, Thailand - Suspected Islamic militants clashed with police in Thailand Wednesday, leaving at least 70 people dead in the heaviest fighting yet in the troubled Muslim-dominated south, officials said.

The clashes erupted after militants launched simultaneous attacks on police bases and checkpoints in several districts of Yala and Pattani provinces, said Yala Gov. Boonyasit Suwanarat.

He told reporters that most of the dead were young men attempting to rob weapons from police and army bases. At least three policemen and one soldier were also killed.

It was the worst fighting so far in the south where almost daily attacks by gunmen have left nearly 150 people dead this year.

Most of the casualties appear to have happened in Yala province.

Pattani police chief Maj. Gen. Paitoon Pattanasophon told The Associated Press by telephone that clashes took place in at least five places in Pattani province. The fighting raged for more than three hours after the first shooting began at 5 a.m.

One gunbattle was fought around a mosque in Kruesei district of Pattani where the militants were holed up, he said.

Pattani, Yala and Narathiwat are the only Muslim majority provinces in predominantly Buddhist Thailand. Muslims there have long complained of discrimination in jobs and education.

They also say their culture and language are being subjugated by the Buddhist Thais, and cite as an example the state schools, which teach in Thai language. Muslims in the south speak Yawi, a dialect of Malay, spoken in the neighboring Malaysia.

The central government policies have been the source of a decades old separatist struggle, which subsided after an amnesty in the late 1980s, but exploded again this year with the Jan. 4 raid on an army arsenal and the torching of 21 schools. Four soldiers were killed in the arsenal attack.

WHY ARE ALL TERRORISTS MUSLIM?

"Unless a man becomes the enemy of evil, he will not even become its slave, but rather its champion. God Himself will not help us to ignore evil but only to defy and to defeat it!" G. K. Chesterton.

In an outrageous attack upon Christian leaders facing the lie of Islam with the Word of God, the National Association of Evangelicals (NAE) issued a public rebuke, sharply criticizing "derogatory statements" made by some evangelical leaders concerning Islam. The National Association of Evangelicals represents more than 43,000 congregations in the United States of America. Specifically, the NAE named Franklin Graham, Dr. Jerry Vines, and the Revs. Jerry Falwell, and Pat Robertson as chief culprits who must learn to temper their speech concerning Islam.

This is shocking! The NAE wants to take the one offensive weapon we Christians have in our arsenal, the Word of God, and replace it with - dialogue? That's right! The truth of God's Word is being replaced with tolerance, appeasement, common ground, reaching across the aisle, pragmatism, and negotiation. "Can't we all just get along?" Of course the answer is, "No! Not when God's Word is the standard."

To be sure, God's Word is confrontational, dividing, judgmental, and absolute, yet it is filled with mercy. Islam, on the other hand, is all of the above, yet it is filled with violence and murder. There is no common ground between these two religions. Islam and Christianity are at war! Neither will tolerate the other.

Unfazed by planes crashing into buildings killing thousands, suicide bombings of countless innocent human beings, mass slaughter of millions of Christians in the Sudan, and violence of unprecedented order, the NAE now wants us to dialogue with the Christ hating false religion of Islam. This spiritually emasculated organization, is espousing that we hide in caves so that we won't be killed by Muslims living out their faith in the streets of our cities. Living out their faith?

The NAE's solution to stop the merciless bloodletting of Islam is to draft guidelines and begin an interfaith dialogue with Islamic leaders. What utter nonsense! Somehow the president of the National Association of Evangelicals, Rev. Ted Haggard, has convinced himself and several others of the good faith of his Islamic counterparts. Haggard is championing the lie of Islam without realizing what it is that he and the NAE are doing.

Ask a simple question, "Why are all terrorists Muslim?" You doubt the premise of the question? Let's just take a look:

1. 1972 Muslim terrorists kidnap Israelite athletes at Olympics in Munich (14 killed).
2. 1972 Muslim terrorists overtake U.S. Embassy in Iran.
3. 1980's Muslim terrorists abduct large numbers of U.S, citizens in Lebanon.
4. 1983 Muslim terrorists bomb Marine barracks in Beirut (250 U.S. soldiers killed).
5. 1985 Muslim terrorists commandeer cruise ship Achille Lauro (Mr. Klinghoeffer, a 70 year old paraplegic, was shot to death and pushed overboard in his wheelchair).
6. 1985 Muslim terrorists seize TWA Flight 847 in Athens (U.S. Navy Seal killed in attempt to rescue passengers).
7. 1988 Muslim terrorists bomb Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland (all souls killed).
8. 1993 Muslim terrorists bomb the World Trade Center for the first time (6 killed).
9. 1994 Muslim terrorists begin the mass slaughter (genocide?) of Christians in the Sudan (more than 2 million slaughtered to date).
10. 1998 Muslim terrorists bomb U.S. Embassies in Kenya, Tanzania, and Nairobi (264 killed and over 4,000 wounded).
11. 2000 Muslim terrorists bomb U.S.S. Cole (14 killed).
12. 2001 Muslim terrorists hijack four airliners and crash them into buildings and the ground killing thousands.
13. 2001 Muslim terrorists call for jihad in Indonesia as Christians are warned to flee the country.
14. 2002 Muslim terrorists kidnap Martin and Gracia Burnham (along with others) in the Phillipines. Martin was killed in the rescue attempt. Gracia made it home.
15. 2002 Muslim terrorists defeated in Afghanistan by strong arm of United States Military.
16. 2002 Muslim terrorists kidnap and ruthlessly slash the throat of journalist Daniel Pearl.
17. 2002 Black Muslim terrorist John Mohammed kills twelve in a cold-blooded 21-day killing spree near Washington, D.C. He was suspected of throwing a grenade into a tent housing 16 soldiers in Gulf War in 1991.
18. 2002 Muslim terrorists bomb a Jewish owned hotel in Kenya (16 killed, 80 injured).
19. 2002 Muslim terrorists bomb a night club in Bali where many westerners were present (182 killed).
20. 2003 Black Muslim terrorist SGT Asan Akbar of the 101st Airborne rolls a grenade into the barracks of sleeping soldiers (kills 2 and wounds 12).
21. 2003 Muslim terrorists convicted of plotting to bomb a Christmas market in Strasbourg, Germany.
22. 2003 Muslim terrorists bomb US-Saudi company and three residential areas where westerners live in Saudi Arabia (at least 50 injured, many died).
23. 2003 Muslim terrorists bomb Jewish and western targets in Casablanca (41 killed).
24. 2003 Muslim terrorists bombard Israel on a daily basis with assaults of unprecedented order.

    What do all of these recorded instances of sheer violence and evil have in common? Islam! Why are all these terrorists Muslim? Their false and murderous religion demands them to be so. There is no escaping the link between terrorism and the Islamic faith. Islam is a lie birthed in the very pit of hell that must be defeated before it destroys everyone who will not bow the knee to Allah and his lying prophet Mohammed.

    Islam must be annihilated, completely. It must be exposed for the lie that it is. Allah is not God and Mohammed is not a prophet of God. Jesus is God, and apart from Him there is no other. Jesus is not tolerant of any other God than Himself, for there is no other God but Him! For the NAE to say anything less is to betray the God of the Holy Scriptures and the 43,000 congregations it represents.

    The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), upon hearing the NAE's appeasing statement said, "We can understand theological differences, but what's important is that the dialogue is one of respect, not demonization." Dialogue? Sure, Rev. Haggard, you won the accolades of Islam, but you are suffering under the condemnation of heaven. There is nothing Islam would rather do than to dialogue with you while it continues its murderous onslaught. The Word of God demonizes Islam, not Franklin Graham or any of the others.

    For the NAE to take its cues from CAIR, a front organization for Islamic terrorism, is absurd. CAIR is the organization that came up with the politically correct idea that America should no longer be considered a "Judeo-Christian" nation. Why? Because it is offensive to Muslims living in America. Please! CAIR is that "gentle" organization that coined the endearing term "Islamophobia," and is presently suing American Airlines for wrongfully profiling "middle eastern" looking men.

    Wrongfully profiling? One doesn't have to look too long at the statistics to realize that 98.7% of all hijackings from 1970 to this day were done by "middle eastern" looking men who were all (100% of them) Muslim terrorists. CAIR says it's just not fair to be demonized by the Word of God. Too bad! Unfortunately the NAE wants to jump on that "politically correct" ship that is going to sink into eternal damnation.

    We have three choices in dealing with Islam. We will either be killed by those holding to its murderous tenets, kill them (like we are doing in Afghanistan, Iraq, etc.), or convert them to Christ. Which one do you choose?

Thai Forces Kill 93 Attackers in Clashes in South (Update1)
April 28 (Bloomberg) -- Thai soldiers and police killed at least 93 people who attacked police stations, checkpoints and government offices in three southern provinces in an attempt to steal weapons, Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra said.

The incidents, in which six security officials also died, started at dawn today in 10 areas of Yala province, 1,100- kilometers (680 miles) south of Bangkok and in nearby Pattani and Songkhla provinces. Thaksin said he will go ahead with a planned visit to the area next week.

While the provinces involved are Muslim-majority, the attacks weren't religiously motivated, Thaksin told reporters at Government House. The attackers were linked to those people killed four soldiers in a raid on an army base to steal weapons in nearby Narathiwat province in January, he said.

``There are some young Thai Buddhists among the dead attackers, showing it's not a religious conflict as suggested by some,'' Thaksin said. ``They were dressed and used similar tactics as in the January attack.'' The number of dead attackers may rise to 100, he said.

Thailand, where more than 90 percent of people are Buddhists, imposed martial law in January in Pattani, Yala and Narathiwat after the first attack. Violence in the area has killed more than 60 people since then, excluding today's toll.

Eight attackers, six of them wounded, were caught by security forces, police General Prung Bunphadung said in a live interview on television Channel 3. Officials will investigate the attackers to try to explain their motives, Thaksin said.

Five policemen and one soldier died in the attacks, Prung said. Channel 3 said skirmishes were still taking place in some of the affected areas six hours after the start of the attacks.

Islam is going balls-to-the-wall against human civilization, right now! Why don't we stop being to damned PC-whipped and drive them back to the sand pits they came from before it's too late?

Boo hoo hoo. Muslims endlessly complain about discrimination but wherever they take control they discriminate, and increasingly persecute, non-Muslims and even Muslims who don't agree with them.

They also say their culture and language are being subjugated by the Buddhist Thais, and cite as an example the state schools, which teach in Thai language. Muslims in the south speak Yawi, a dialect of Malay, spoken in the neighboring Malaysia.

Boo hoo hoo. They're a small minority, but a pain in the you know where. Move to Malaysia. Funny thing, in Malaysia, the largely non-Muslim Chinese and Indians are nearly half the population but they are discriminated against in various ways and Islam is the favored religion.
