Plot to bomb embassies in Thailand foiled Arrests of 4 suspected members of Jemaah Islamiyah announced

BANGKOK, Thailand -- Police have broken up a cell of the Islamic militant group Jemaah Islamiyah and foiled a plot to bomb embassies in the country, officials in Thailand and Singapore said today.

Three Thai men alleged to be members of Jemaah Islamiyah, the group suspected in last year's bombing on the Indonesian resort island of Bali, were arrested today in raids on their homes in the Muslim-dominated Narathiwat province, 710 miles south of Bangkok, police said.

These muslim terrorist groups are like cockroaches, they need to be exterminated to keep from spreading. Even that won't work 100%, but it needs to be done to control terrorists in the long-run.

Just another shameful episode of the media needlessly smearing The Religion of Peace...

This is good as it will force the Government to face the terrorist threat openly. PM Tahksin Shinawatera (sp?) has repeatedly denied the existance of JI in Thailand and has blamed the bombing of police stations, schools and temples as well as the assination of police and teachers on "bandits". Only about 4 or 5 % of the population are Muslim but they are center in the far south near Malaysia. However, in the last couple of years, we have noticed an increasing number of men with Muslim caps and full beards in Chiang Mai (Northern Thailand) They do not mix much with the Bhuddist majority, so we don't hear much about them. Just after 9/11/01 however, they were tellin all who would listen that Bush's CIA and Isreal were behind the WTC.

Not only is Shinawatra an overt spinner of events in the interests of economic PR, he is also a bootlicker of the PRC. His real surname is "Shin" and he is characteristic of the Thai Chinese merchants who have come to dominate not only the circles of power in Thai society but also the government, ever since the onset of "democratization" and the silencing of anti Communist, pro American forces there during the 1990s. Look I have some Chinese blood in my family tree so don't take this as an overall ethnic attack. However, I do see correlation between the rise of the Thai Chinese merchant class, and, Bangkok's increasing coldness to the US (and West in general) and her growing closeness to Beijing and Moscow. Bangkok is strategically blind, and might someday wake up to not only attacked by Thai Islamist factions, but also, nuclear explosions, biological attack and chemical munitions delivered by Myanmar, Pakistan, the PRC and Russia. Then, the millions of PLA and other Axis boots heading south. Not only Thais but Malays and Indonesians (not to mention Australians!) should think twice about the implications of current geopolitical events.

The Associated Press and The Baltimore Sun actually say outloud, right up front,
that Muslims are terrorist

This is freaking me out.

Usually you have to read articles for a couple of weeks or months about how
some "oppressed minority" or "rebel forces" are having battles with some oppressive government
before you finally read "oh, yeah, it's Muslims doing what they do best" on page 38 of
section D.
That's the way the tiff in The Ivory Coast was covered, like lots of
conflicts that are really just "Muslims Wake Up, Murder Any Non-Muslim In Sight".


This may be a sign that major parts of the cvilized world are finally GETTING A
FREAKIN' CLUE about THE RELIGION OF PEACE (aka, Murder Incorporated, International).
