Thailand: No Peace In ‘Restive’ South
by sheikyermami on August 30, 2007
AFP reports that the ‘insurgents/militants/shadowy groups/rebels’ in the south don’t want peace talks. Why would that be?
Thai Prime Minister Surayud Chulanont said Wednesday that separatists fighting in Muslim-majority provinces have refused to take up his offer to launch peace talks.
“As of now, there has been no progress on starting negotiations, because that would require the agreement of both sides. So there are no talks for now,” he told reporters.
“My government is still adhering a policy of non-violence, but cooperation from the people is crucial,” he said.
Since Surayud took office following a military coup last year, he has made a series of peace gestures to the militants fighting along the southern border with Malaysia.
But the violence has only escalated since the coup, and the government has deployed thousands more troops and paramilitary forces to the region.
Human Rights Watch said in a report Tuesday that despite the peace gestures, Thailand still has no concrete strategy to end state-sanctioned abuses.
* “Human rights watch” is an euphemism for a commie/Muslim infiltrated scam-org. which supports Islamic causes.
The report warned that the conflict was degenerating into a brutal armed conflict in which 89 percent of the fatalities have been civilians.
Foreign Minister Nitya Pibulsonggram welcomed the report and said he believed it would help the international community understand why Thailand has struggled to find ways of reining in the shadowy insurgency.
“The international community will have a positive attitude toward Thailand. The report is fair and does us justice,” he said.
“We always regret the loss of life, regardless of who the victims are,” he said.
More than 2,500 people have been killed since the separatist unrest erupted nearly four years ago. The region was annexed by Buddhist Thailand a century ago.
* AFP never misses that last slur. As if Thailand was somehow in the wrong for defending its territory…

This is a satirical website. None of what you read here has anything to do with Islam, because Islam is a Religion of Peace. Everybody knows that good Muslims never do the things they do, (because Allah does it for them, Quran 8:12) and we know that only our misperceptions, ignorance and stereotyping of Islam makes Muslims chop off heads, kill and rape women and children, bomb subways, buses, nightclubs and fly jets into buildings. If it wasn't for the media and da Jooozzz, we wouldn't even know its happening.
We welcome open, honest, thoughtful, and vigorous discussion in the comments threads, so do yourself a favour and don't accuse us of being 'haters' because we are loving, tolerant people. Don't curse us, don't threaten us with death or hellfire, and don't accuse us of being "just like the terrorists" because we don't do to Muslims what they do to us or to themselves. Yes, we know that only idiots oppose Islam and sensible people submit, but you should know that we are ignorant bigots, hypocrites and Islamophobes, and we prefer to remain that way...
But since you are forcing yourselves (and your abhorrent belief-system on us) we will defend ourselves, because we must. Avoid tu quoque and ad hominem attacks. Don't bother with circular reasoning either, we been there, done it. If you annoy us, you will be banned and your posts summarily deleted.
Try to add to the discussion, don't try to sell snake oil, don't try to cover us with Islamic shrouds of kitman and taqiyya, don't bother with da'awa, (we've heard it before) don't spam us with long pieces of cut & paste, write in English, try to tell the truth,
(we know that's hard for you because you are all pathological liars) but the truth will set you free, try it!
One more thing: don't think you can post here under multiple monikers. You will quickly be disappeared! The same goes for
trufers and conspiracy kooks: you get one chance, one time. Blow it out of your ass if you must; put your stupidity on display.
But you won't be back, trust me on that.
Take a deep breath before you post, try to make some sense, do not just vent, do not make a fool of yourself and if you prove us wrong you can earn 10 Islamic dollars for your piggy bank. Deal?

The Thais have a reputation for being hard core fighters. What are they waiting for?
The muslims are told that if they feel they are strong that they don’t have to negotiate a peace deal. Peace deals with muslims are stupid anyway. They are told that a peace deal should last no longer than 10 years and can be broken at anytime once they feel they are rearmed and regrouped in order to fight again. They are only to consider a peace deal if they are weak. (sound familiar of the continuing saga of the Israeli/muslim ‘peace’ deals that Israel, and all ignorant ones of islam, keep trying to make with muslims?)
The only way that we can make peace with muslims if we keep their numbers sufficiently small. That way they never gain the foothold, and the boldness, that numbers give them. One of their tactics is da’wa which depends on their numbers increasing so they can take jihad a step further. All of this is jihad. Basically, it is the goal to conquer all the lands and peoples and bring them under islam – however they achieve it is jihad. But, it is mostly achieved through the violent jihad not only because mohammed put such a high regard and reward on it, but sane people do not tend to become muslims and so islam has to spread via the ‘sword’.
