Thai Buddhist shrine ransacked

A Buddhist shrine has been ransacked in the latest violence to hit southern Thailand, following the beheading of a Buddhist farmer at the weekend. Talks on the ongoing attacks - due to have involved a separatist Muslim leader and the government - were indefinitely called off on Tuesday. Deputy Prime Minister Chavalit Yongchaiyudh said he was worried the talks would jeopardise security. As many as 200 people have died in the violence since the start of the year.
About 20 people broke into the Lim Ko Nhieo shrine in Pattani before dawn on Tuesday and broke lamps and threw furniture around, Pote Sauysuwan, the chief of Pattani police, told the Associated Press. The shrine is next to Krue Se mosque, where security forces in April killed 32 militants who were hiding inside after an earlier shootout.
They were among 108 people who died on that day, after bands of young men launched co-ordinated attacks on security posts. Mr Chavalit said Tuesday's shrine attack was clearly an attempt to incite conflict between Muslims and Buddhists - the predominant religion in Thailand. "Thy have been trying to create a sectarian conflict for a long time," he said. Talks to discuss the violence were planned for later this week between the Thai administration and Wan Abdul Kadir Che Man, the leader of Bersatu, an umbrella group for separatists. Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra said the government was not recognising the group, but talking to it would be instructive. Bersatu groups together a number of separatist organisations, such as the Pattani United Liberation Front (Pulo), Barisan Revolusi Nasional (BRN) and Gerakan Mujahideen Islam Pattani. The world Bersatu means "united" in Malay But The Bangkok Post said Mr Chavalit was strongly opposed to the idea. The three southern Muslim dominated provinces of Pattani, Narathiwat and Yala have been the scene of drive-by shootings, weapons raids and arson attacks on Buddhist monks, schools and security officials since January.

Time to kill a few hundred more.
no time for moderation my friend!
Time to make their wishes come true.
I wish I had the money to do some serious gun-running to Christians, Jews, Hindus and Buddhists over in the other hemisphere.
Time to kill them all.
Well said!
The muslim cancer is spreading. It's time to drop the "religion of peace" mantra. When is the world going to wake up and realize that these muslim extremists don't deserve to exist? And when are "peaceful" muslims going to go public and express their outrage? How many more of these incidents is it going to take?
When is the world going to come to the realization that Islam/Radical Muslims have declared all-out war on all non-Muslims?
Aren't Buddist's generally peaceful? - OH wait, that's the title of the TROP.....
It needs to happen soon. This could easily spread north. Look at all the mosques being built on the motorway between BKK and Rayong.
In related news, famous Hollywood Buddhists, led by Richard Gere, staged a burning of the Koran in front of the Syrian consulate in downtown Los Angeles. Gere vehemently swore that the martial spirit of Buddhists, exemplified in the Japanese "bushido", would not rest until until the scourge of Islamo-fascism was defeated.
...and then I woke up from my dream.
A few hundred is not enough!!!
As soon as the extremists dont exist, the "peaceful" ones replace them!!
'Religion of Peace, religion of pieces' ... ISlamism is empowered by the blood of non-Islamicists, much the way the democrat party is empowered by the blood of the innocent unborn.
"Time to kill them all."
It looks like it.
Why do you think that killing - be they Muslims or others is correct? I am a Muslim and I do not believe in killing, we have been taught by the Prophet that "the one who takes a life is as though he has taken the life of all mankind, and the one who saves a life is as though he has saved all of mankind"
We are not all killers, do not paint all Muslims with the same brush. Just because one German (Hitler) killed 6 million Jews doesnt make all Germans evil, the same goes for Muslims, those who kill for their own reasons and state they are doing it for Islam will surely burn in Hell for a long time.
I live in England and get on well with Christians, Hindhus, Jews and Buddhists - we should learn to tolerate each other and not kill.
Peace to you

The Koran, the Sunna, like the Christian Bible, can be interpreted different ways. As you know if you are Muslim, this is especially so with Islam since there is no formal chain of religious authority (such as that in the Catholic Church or the Orthodox Churches). We find that, much to our sorrow - and yes, our anger - many Muslims have chosen to treat us as enemies. Every society has the right to defend itself and, in extremis, to try, if all other measures fail, to eliminate those who seek to eliminate it.
