Extremists burn books, then classrooms (Then murders, beheadings...More Muslim Mayhem in Thailand)

Militants torched a school in Bannang Sata district on Sunday night, after breaking into its library to burn books. The attack took place less than two days before the new school year begins tomorrow.

It was the second arson attack on Ban Gasod school in less than two months, police said yesterday. The school, located in tambon Bannang Sata, was first attacked in early April, when three of its classrooms were destroyed by fire.

Nattakran Chantrakul, deputy director of Yala's Education Zone 2, said up to 25 schools, out of 71 under his jurisdiction, have been set ablaze to date.

Mr Nattakran said Bannang Sata district sustained the biggest loss, with 18 schools having been attacked. Yaha district followed with six schools, and Kabang district with one. Ban Banglang school in Bannang Sata district was the worst-hit, having been attacked eight times already.

Mr Nattakran said authorities have provided tents for these schools to use as makeshift classrooms.

Meanwhile, a married couple was shot dead early yesterday in a longon orchard in Bannang Sata district. The slain man, Prapan Polrak, 38, was also beheaded by the attackers who made off with his .38 calibre pistol, police said. His wife was identified as Chadakan, 30.

In neighbouring Kabang district, two rubber tappers, identified as Luesor Hayeewani, 46, and Mahamu Samae, 41, were shot dead in a pre-dawn attack yesterday.

In Narathiwat, Ban Dorhae villagers in Sungai Padi district yesterday joined hands with security officials and local teachers to set up three tents for use as makeshift classrooms following the burning of the village school on Saturday night.

In another incident, ambushers shot dead a Muslim man identified as Kolae Panoh, 19, in Sungai Padi district on Sunday night.

Meanwhile, Gen Sonthi Boonyaratkalin has assigned deputy army chief Gen Saprang Kalayanamitr to review the cash compensation scheme for families of soldiers killed in insurgent attacks. In general, the compensation rate is one million baht for a commissioned officer, and 500,000 baht for a non-commissioned officer.

A lot like Germany 1937. After you burn the books, then you start burning people.

“extremists”, “militants”. Gee, I guess they don’t know anything else about the murderers. Just random people who suddenly one day decided to torture, murder, burn, rape.

“When will the refugees arrive?”

I assume this is down in the southern part of the country bordering Indonesia, where this sort of thing has been going on since I was there in the 60’s. It has a long history.

There should have been a /sarcasm tag on my comment. Thanks for pointing out that this has a long history... Are there any articles you could recommend that might be suitable for an Extended News post?

Most of the history of Egypt was lost when møøselimbs burned every papyrus they could find because Egyptian hieroglyphs looks too much like images of people...

We know the tree by its fruit. The fruit of islam is ignorance, hate and terrorism.

I knew it was posted sarcastically, but I thought I would add my take on the situation. I know of no articles.

Killing little girls for going to school. Our enemy is sub-human. Those for withdrawal - wake up.
