Thailand: Muslims gun down elderly Buddhist couple

The international media will take little note of this. But just imagine the outcry if the roles were reversed. Time Magazine would run another cover story about “Buddhist militancy.” As always, the media objective is to engage in moral equivalence and do whatever is necessary to absolve Islam from the evils committed in its name and in accord with Qur’anic teachings.

“Elderly Buddhist couple shot dead in Thailand’s restive south,” Agence France-Presse, June 15, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

A Buddhist couple were gunned down in a drive-by shooting on Saturday morning by suspected militants, police said, the latest bout of violence in Thailand’s Muslim-majority restive south.

Thailand’s three southernmost provinces have since 2004 been plagued by conflict between ethnic Malay Muslim rebels agitating for greater autonomy and the Buddhist-majority Thai state, which annexed the region about a century ago.

Around 7,000 people have been killed in the violence, mostly civilians from both the Muslim and Buddhist communities.

The latest incident came in Narathiwat province’s Ra-ngae district, the site of previous skirmishes and bombings as rebels and security forces wrestle for control of the area.

Paisal Jungsakul, 65, and his wife Sumol, 58 — who ran a small restaurant — were returning home from the market by motorcycle when they were shot dead on a remote road, said a police commander.

“Police suspect the killing was the work of a group of militants who operate in that area… based on the pattern of the attack,” Major General Dussadee Choosangkij told AFP.

“The group uses the same weapons,” he said.

The suspects also stole the couple’s motorcycle, and authorities fear that it could be used in another bomb attack, Dussadee said, adding that an alert has been issued for the stolen bike

When they find them they will mysteriously wind up at room temperature.

The muslim terrorists nearly killed a man I knew very well in the same region in 1961. Killed the people in two land rovers that were ahead of him and a friend and escaped in one of them headed back by them at high speed before they arrived at the crime scene. It’s been going on down there forever.

In Thailand muslims killing Buddhists is a common occurrence.

A couple living their lives and minding their own business become victims of the ROP.

The for profit media knows the muslims will murder them if they expose muslim error. Now the media is “for prophet” due to fear.

Waiting for the Thais to get around to doing what they know they will have to do eventually: either expel every Muslim, or submit.

Many Thais have little idea of this happening. Family friend married a Thai woman from sort of central NE Thailand and said she had no idea this was happening until coming to the US. Isthmus of Kra is sort of the outlands to Thais I guess.
