I didn't see it, but when I do watch Glenn Beck, it is always interesting.

1 teacher, elderly couple shot dead in Thailand's restive south
Jihad against retired teachers and elderly couples. This Associated Press (thanks to Jeffrey Imm), however, stays in passive voice as long as it can, before gingerly identifying the culprits as "suspected insurgents," who of course just happen to target Buddhists.
BANGKOK, Thailand: A retired teacher and an elderly couple were shot dead Saturday while four other civilians were wounded in a bomb explosion in Thailand's violent-ravaged south, police said.
Sawai Phrommani, a 62-year-old retired teacher, was killed in a drive-by shooting as he rode a motorcycle home in Pattani's Mayo district, said police Lt. Col. Narat Thepchalerm.
In Narathiwat, suspected insurgents posing as customers shot dead a Buddhist couple _Charin Ngaono, 70 and his 68-year-old wife Rabiep _in their grocery store in Rangae district, police said.
Four Buddhist civilians also were wounded in Yala province, when a roadside bomb exploded as their car passed over it, police said.

But the truth is that a savage, terrible and appallingly bloodthirsty insurgency is under way in southern Thailand. It is the third great insurgency in the world today, after Iraq and Afghanistan. More people are dying in horrific violence in southern Thailand than in Palestine or the southern Philippines, or in the ethnic strife in some of the outlying islands of Indonesia.
Neither the Thai Government nor the international media quite wants to admit the horrible truth at the heart of the increasingly surreal sadism and violence in southern Thailand. This is an Islamist insurgency. While it is organisationally independent of al-Qa'ida or Jemaah Islamiah, it fits into the global pattern of Islamist insurgency.
...The best estimates are that since January 2004, about 2100 people have died violently in the insurgency in southern Thailand...
The head of the Thai army... is a Muslim and the new military Government said it would be more conciliatory in the south... But the result of all this is that killings have increased to their highest rate yet: up to four deaths a day. The violence has just got worse.
...The insurgent attacks are becoming more savage and provocative. There has been an increase in beheadings. Women and children are frequently targeted...
