At least that’s how Al Reuters reports it:
The troubled rubber-rich provinces — Pattani, Yala and Narathiwat — were part of a Muslim sultanate until annexed a century ago by predominantly Buddhist Thailand. About 80 percent of the region is Muslim and its people speak a Malay dialect.
Because one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter. Unfortunately for the politically correct pop tarts from the MSM, there is no freedom in Islam.
The above line, along with the “suspected Muslim insurgents” and other apologetics by the main stream media, are nothing short of sickening. But for some reason, the MSM insists on this mental pollution and keeps repeating it ad nauseam…
Suspected insurgents kill 3 Buddhists in Thai south
NARATHIWAT, Thailand (Reuters) - Suspected Muslim insurgents blew up a gas tank near a school in southern Thailand on Saturday, killing three Buddhist villagers and wounding two including a local leader, police said.
The blast appeared intended for a senior official of Bajao district in Narathiwat, one of Thailand’s three southernmost provinces plagued by insurgent violence as ethnic Malay Muslims fight for autonomy from Thailand’s Buddhist majority.
“The bomb was planted near a school. The insurgents detonated it to attack the officials,” police Colonel Jamlong Ngamnetara told Reuters.
The three people killed had volunteered to provide security for the official as he traveled in a pickup truck, he said.
More than 3,700 people have been killed in five years of unrest in the region bordering Malaysia, only a few hours by car from some of Thailand’s most famous tourist beaches.
The troubled rubber-rich provinces — Pattani, Yala and Narathiwat — were part of a Muslim sultanate until annexed a century ago by predominantly Buddhist Thailand. About 80 percent of the region is Muslim and its people speak a Malay dialect.
The violence has ranged from drive-by shootings to bombings and beheadings. It often targets Buddhists and Muslims associated with the Thai state, such as police, soldiers, government officials and teachers.

Prediction…
There is going to be a disease that will affect only Muslims.
This disease will wipe out most of the Muslim population.
It will be a genetic defect that will sweep the entire world. Christians, Hindus, Jews and Buddhists will not be affected as long as there is no interbreeding with Muslims.
Those that interbreed will be affected as well.
Unfortunately, the disease will affect any apostates that leave the ideology after the disease has begun. That is the unfortunate side effect.
Addition to disease prediction…this disease will be blamed on Jewish biochemists although there will be no way of proving it.
The disease will be primarily due to the Islamic breeding practice over the last 1400 years.
It may sound crazy but this is what I envisioned.
Make a not of it.
The disease will start manifesting itself on or about the year 2011 and will spread rapidly. Like the aids virus it will only be spread through blood, semen and saliva.
Well Al-Kidya – we could be lucky but on what credentials can we believe this claim.
Uhm, I have news for you al-Kidya, there is no such thing as a “genetic” Muslim.
Think of all the forced conversions of populations over the past 1400 years. The worlds largest Mulsim country, Indonesia, probably has very little middle-eastern genes in the population.
And if you targeted middle-eastern genetics, it would hit Jews as well.
If you narrowed it down to “Arabs”, which in and of it self is a complex mix, you would miss most of the Muslim world in your efforts.
You need to go read what “genetic” actually means, me thinks! haha!
