* I guess Thailand needs some more “missionary bandits” in the deep south, these ‘refugees’ would fit right in…
             
GENEVA (Reuters) – U.S. actress Angelina Jolie, a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations refugee agency, urged Thailand Thursday to welcome Muslim refugees fleeing Myanmar.

..living under Republican rule almost “killed” her, and she does not understand why anyone would want to be a Republican. She also said that President Barack Obama’s “intelligence” and “spirit” are “so great” he will be able to do “more than anyone could possibly do.”

Thailand‘s treatment of the Rohingyas, an oppressed Muslim minority from mainly Buddhist Myanmar, has been widely condemned as evidence emerges that hundreds were rounded up by the Thai military and towed out to sea.
Jolie issued the plea during a visit to camps in northern Thailand which house 111,000 mostly Christian ethnic Karen refugees from Myanmar.
“Visiting Ban Mai Nai Soi and seeing how hospitable Thailand has been to 111,000 mostly Karen and Karenni refugees over the years, makes me hope that Thailand will be just as generous to the Rohingya refugees who are now arriving on their shores,” Jolie said in a statement issued by the U.N. High Commissionerfor Refugees (UNHCR).
Since becoming goodwill ambassador for the Geneva-based agency in 2001, Jolie has visited refugees in more than 20 hotspots including Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Sudan.
Two Rohingya boat people found off Indonesia this week said they were rounded up and beaten by the Thai army before being cast adrift in rickety, engineless boats.
Thailand’s military has admitted towing hundreds out to sea and cutting them adrift, but insisted they had adequate food and water and denied reports the boats’ engines were sabotaged.

I do not know whether to sell my Angelina Jolie DVD movies or use them for target practice like I did with hundreds of otherwise useless AOL CD’s.
Sheik,
Here’s a good Time article from 2002 to complement your post, picked up from Refugee Resettlement Watch, which has a special category on the Rohingyas. After reading it, you can see why Burma and Thailand are so anxious to keep the Rohingyas out.
Very good, thank you Abu!
Well let’s hope Jolie gets stranded in Saudi Arabia or some other Muslim country. They can dress her in a burka and cut her clitoris off and make her the 4th wife of some Arab madman…see if she urges open doors to Muslim after this.
After reading this, both Angelina and Brad are over for me !
