Civil War in The south

[Guest lazyphil]

true ALHOLK but muslims do have a wacking big chip on their shoulders, not all obviously, but a sizable portion, look at the taliban, blew the fuck out of buddha statues, what the hell have buddhists done to upset them ::

A bit off-topic, but when we look at some of the worse degenerated mass violences, of Middle-Ages pandemic proportions (either in thinking or deed), Uncle Sam's big arm is often there to start the mess. Think Taliban indeed, "neutral" Cambodia (2 million dead, many Buddha and monks heads in it). Now Irak, of course, and also before, Saddam used to be dear Saddam...

 

Just a thought.

Back in the late '70s and '80s, there was small scale violence in the far south. Kaddafi was actually providing financial aid to the "rebels" at that time. However, he stopped when it was shown to him that Muslims have complete religious freedom in Thailand and that the struggle was ethnic, not religious. Quite simply, the majority of the people in the three southernmost provinces are Malays in speech and culture. You don't see ethnic Thai Muslims engaging in violence anywhere in the country.

 

The terrorists in these provinces are deliberately targeting Buddhists in an effort to provoke the government and turn it into a religious war. Unfortunately, Mr T's heavy handed actions play right into their hands.

Ah yes that old chestnut-some other people have done bad things in the name of religion. Very true but then of course much of that was done a long time past and this is today we are on about. There is only one religion which specifically instructs the faithfull to go out and slaughter the unbelievers. Also, I never seem to see any aglicans on the news flying planes into buildings, blowing innocent people up with suicide bombs, murdring innocent tourists in bars, attacking embassy buidings etc etc. Lazyphil is right I think, look at all the places in the world with uprisings and terror threats caused by muslims, seems some here are in denial. They might not be so willing to kill and be killed if they did not think by doing so would mean their salvation, another oddity of the religion. It's always somebody elses's fault is'nt it be it mr bush, taksin, or israel having the nerve to want to survive.

More interesting than the stuff in the thai press. Anyone read this ladies book? http://www.muslim-refusenik.com/

White liberals seem to hate her as much as Islamic hardliners as she's not only a muslim but a woman and black, almost the full monty. Her arguments are at least a possible way foward for a belief system seemigly stuck in the middle ages

Christian girls beheaded in grisly Indonesian attack

October 29, 2005

 

 

Three teenage Christian girls were beheaded and a fourth was seriously wounded in a savage attack on Saturday by unidentified assailants in the Indonesian province of Central Sulawesi.

 

The girls were among a group of students from a private Christian high school who were ambushed while walking through a cocoa plantation in Poso Kota subdistrict on their way to class, police Major Riky Naldo said.

 

The area is close to the provincial capital of Poso, about 1000 kilometres northeast of Jakarta.

 

Naldo said the heads of the three dead victims were found several kilometres from their bodies.

 

In Jakarta, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono ordered the police to begin a hunt for the killers.

 

"In the holy month of Ramadan, we are again shocked by a sadistic crime in Poso that claimed the lives of three school students," he told reporters at the airport as he prepared to fly to Sumatra island.

 

"I condemn this barbarous killing, whoever the perpetrators are and whatever their motives."

 

He ordered the security forces to find the killers and maintain order in the region.

 

Indonesia is the world's most populous Muslim nation, but Central Sulawesi has a roughly equal number of Muslims and Christians. The province was the scene of a bloody religious war in 2001-2002 that killed around 1000 people from both communities.

 

At the time, beheadings, burnings and other atrocities were common.

 

A government-mediated truce succeeded in ending the conflict in early 2002, but there have since been a series of bomb attacks and assassinations of Christians.

 

These included a blast at a market in Poso, a predominantly Christian town, that killed 22 people in May.

 

Christian leaders have repeatedly accused the authorities in Jakarta of not doing enough to find the perpetrators and bring them to justice.

 

The Christian-Muslim conflict in Sulawesi was an extension of a wider sectarian war in the nearby Maluku archipelago in which up to 9000 perished between 1999 and 2002.

 

The Maluku conflict intensified soon after it began with the arrival of volunteers belonging to Laskar Jihad, a newly created militia from Indonesia's main island of Java that was supported by hardline elements of the security forces.

 

Analysts and diplomats accused senior army commanders of funding and training the militia, which was hurriedly disbanded following the terrorist attacks on the tourist island of Bali in 2002 which claimed 202 lives, including 88 Australians.

Muslim REFUSENIK???

 

I'm sure that using a semi-Yiddish term makes her message so much more persuasive to Muslims.
