More koranic madness: More killings in Thailand's south Nu Bindaoh, a Thai police officer, was shot dead in Narathiwat Three people in Thailand have been killed in separate incidents as unrest continues in the mainly Muslim south of the country. Officials say the dead were two police officers and a community leader. Unidentified attackers also set fire to a school in Narathiwat province, one of the worst-affected by the violence. The government imposed martial law in the area in January and has blamed Islamic militants for violence that has killed about 60 people. Officials said policeman Nu Bindaoh, 45, was shot dead by two men on a motorcycle in Narathiwat, while another officer, Charoonrat Rana-udom, 50, was slashed to death with a machete by unidentified attackers in Pattani while he was going into his house. A village headman in Yala province, Lohmae Yakoh, was shot dead by unidentified gunman riding a motorcycle. Accused The killings took place just hours after police paraded seven Muslim suspects they said had been involved in a raid at an army camp and the torching of 21 schools in January in Narathiwat - the incident which sparked the crisis One of the suspects, Anupong Panchayangkul, told reporters at a news conference that some Muslim lawmakers in Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra's Thai Rak Thai party were behind the unrest. A group of Muslim MPs issued a swift denial. "We flatly deny allegations that some members of our group were behind the armed robbery," the Wahdah group of five Muslim MPs in the Thai Rak Thai Party said in a statement. Killings on an almost daily basis have continued despite a government pledge to spend $304m on development projects in the region over two years. Thailand's minority Muslims have long complained of discrimination in jobs, education and culture by the predominantly Buddhist central government. news.bbc.co.uk

lorne, I guess they have realized that they are not going to get those virgins when they blow themselves up, and go to allah, so are taking the easy way. I know that's not funny, and did not intend for it to be.

Rape is an intolerable crime in any civilized society. Nevertheless, it occurs practically everyday all over the world --- civilized or not. And no modern society has been successful in preventing it. Indeed, rape is such a very common occurrence! It is only the media that makes a big deal out of it, especially when its occurrence can be used to vilify some individuals or people at home or abroad. BTW, during the ethnic-cleansing war in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the nineties, thousands of Moslem Croatian women were raped by Christian Serbs. Yet the media made scant mention of it. The raping of Moslem women by the thousands, not just a mere trifle 100 in West Sudan by contrast, was virtually glossed off as of no consequence. It was as if those Moslem women justly deserved to be raped by Christians and others. Now, all of a sudden a reported rape of a mere 100 women in Western Sudan becomes so very newsworthy and such a BIG DEAL! Go figure! Oh well, if anything the report is supposed to have achieved, it was to convince me all Moslems are bad, eh? And that the only good Moslem is a dead Moslem, eh? To be sure, the worldnetdaily has an agenda. I am sure lots of folks will greatly appreciate it if you would post (if you are ever able to, that is) something worthwhile and of consequence apart from the daily worldnetdaily bias, trash and bs which you will compulsively post anyway.
