BANGKOK, Thailand (CNN) -- Two Buddhist monks have been slashed to death in separate roadside attacks in southern Thailand, two days after a similar attack which police blamed on Muslim extremists.

The killings -- which police said appeared to be coordinated and simultaneous -- took place 10 kilometers apart at about 6 a.m. local time Saturday in Yala, about 1,100 kilometers south of Bangkok, police said.

The area is predominantly Muslim but a significant Buddhist population has lived there for many years in harmony

Let's see -- The Muslims are at war with:

Christians

Jews

Hindus

Buddhists

That's the vast majority of the world's population. They are really itching to take all of us on.

Lets hope they don't get really organized.

How true. Flipping through the newspaper in the morning, the trend is so obvious - the world news is nothing but Muslims in France, Muslims in Indonesia, etc., etc. And yet some people scoff at the idea that this is a clash of civilizations!

I am wondering why anybody tolerates the immigration of Moslems much anymore. Must be a suicidal urge.

Let's hope the rest of us do, and that we stop lying to ourselves about the basic nature of Islam.

Valuing the Difference of the Multicultural Diversity Alert!

Who are we to judge a superior Third World Culture by our Western, capitalist, imperialist, homophobic, war-mongering, technological, racist standards?

Why does this come as no surprise?

How do you say "global jihad" in Thai?

Willful blindness, also a refusal to "discriminate," meaning an ability and willingness to make distinctions between people and behavior. No non-Western nation will tolerate this nonsense -- the Muslims are just begging to be expelled or killed. Unfortunately, if they are expelled where will this want to go -- not to live with their fellow Muslims but to the hated West.

Samuel Huntingdon, the author of The Clash of Civilizations, observed that the borders of Islam are red. Red with blood.
