Two local Buddhist teenagers were wounded when suspected Islamic militant gunmen opened fire on their school bus in Yala province today, police said.

Two boys aged 14 and 15 were shot in the hip and shoulder by two gunmen on motorbike who fired at a pick-up truck that had been converted to a school bus, police said.

He said the teenage victims were taken to a local hospital and were in stable condition.

In a separate incident, a 52-year-old villager was shot dead by a suspected militants using a military gun late Tuesday as he entered his home in the Narathiwat province, police said.

Another example of why I call Islam the default religion of psycho killers. It's a death cult.

MILITANT?

Such restraint makes me want to try my hand at headline writing: Bottom Dwelling Scum Suckers Open Fire on a School Bus or Squirming Toad Brained Droolers Open Fire on a Bus or Mad Dog Vicious Killers Open Fire or Armed Idiots Shoot Bus or Excuse for the Death Penalty Shoot School Kids. I guess they are trained in journalism school to be fair and balanced even if the story is about someone who is demonstrably unbalanced.

For the murderously inclined, Islam gives a perfect excuse and justification for their killings. And there are a lot of murderously inclined people in Arab and Muslim territories.

After all, Muhammad, their cult founder, was murderously inclined. The Koran depicts his murders and assassinations and a good Muslim is supposed to copy Muhammad's life.
