TWO weeks ago, gunmen stopped a small passenger van in the street. They forced all of its occupants out and on to the roadside. The gunmen then shot all nine of them dead. Three of the passengers were women, one was a young girl.
Just another day of Baghdad carnage, you say. But no, this was Thailand, traditionally a peaceful, prosperous and stable Southeast Asian state at the heart of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, a formal treaty ally of the US and a close trade and diplomatic partner of Australia.
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...

If you want on or off the list, go to the link for instructions. Otherwise, it won't be guaranteed that you will be put on or taken off (it still won't be 100% guaranteed, anyway, but will be much more highly probable).
President Bush....are you paying attention....
Islam is NOT a religion of peace.
Islam is by ANY measure a murder cult celebrating lunatics..
Semper Fi

Muslims terrorists killing peaceful folks...I'm shocked. Quick, where's the CAIR condemnations?
Everywhere these islamist savages go, there is nothing but suffering and misery.
At what point will the beheadings start on our own soil? Will we FINALLY begin to retaliate at that point? Will we finally wake up?
The Thais allowed a muslim foot in the door by making a muslim the head of their army. In this country, they have allowed the muslim foot in the political door by electing Keith Ellison and now Barack HUSSEIN Obama is running for president. What fools we have become!
At one time, I was a very active poster here to Freerepublic.com. After 9/11, when I started posting specific passages from the Koran illustrating how Islamic Fundamentalism was a redundancy, many people - many calling themselves conservatives - howled in outrage! Many of those posts were pulled by the moderators, and seeing that people weren't interested in reading the truth anymore, I left this website.
Perhaps NOW people are ready to wake up and smell the coffee? Wish I could believe that, but there is still an awful lot of "political correctness" emanating from the Right when it comes to dealing with the thugs that truly practice Islam as Mohammed intended it to be.
BTW, our nation's history with Islamic savages goes all the way back to the days of the Barbary Pirates. We've been at war with Islam - in one form or another - most of this country's life.
Stick around Stingray. We need the voices out there sounding the alarm. I've had a few "go-arounds" with some islamist-defenders on this forum myself. Actually, I haven't seen several of them around lately. I guess we're a bit too "intolerant" for them.
Did you see this article?:

And add to that the warnings about muslims applying for jobs as school bus drivers.
Yes indeed. It's time to wake up.
Chilling. And infuriating. If something like that were to happen, I would enlist even at my age.
Why do they keep calling it "insurgency"? These islamist terrorists are, at the very least, nothing but common murderers for a satanic religion.
