A rubber tapper was beheaded at a plantation in Yala and five people, including three policemen, were wounded in a bomb blast in Narathiwat yesterday as daily violence continued in the deep South.
The headless body of Bunchan Saipetch, 59, from Si Sa Ket, was found in front of a cottage in a rubber plantation in Yala's Yaha district around 6am yesterday. Six 11mm (.45 cal) bullet shells were found at the scene while there were multiple knife wounds to the victim's body.
His head was found later in a box left on a roadside in the same area. Attached to the box was a handwritten letter written in Thai saying: ``We will get back our Pattani state. As you arrest the innocent, we will kill the innocent.'.......

Can anyone name for me the Christian equivalent of Islamic Jihad?
I know there's been wars of religion, particulary in Europe in centuries past but I don't recall where there has ever been one that was worldwide with the sole intent of establshing theocracy.
Peace of religion do that again .
Not quite 'An eye for an eye", is it?
You have to respect a religion that only knows one thing, kill the enemy. I'm going to wait for the 'watchdog' groups to protest this act ...
Waiting
Waiting
Waiting
Anyone?
{crickets chirping}
At least that's no longer practiced, they got over it- the muzzies have a 1st century mindset with 21st century technology, so there's really no comparison.
You will be waiting a long time. That blood cult, which vows to "wage war with all mankind until the last day" (or the world is all Islam) seems to be favored by these watchdog groups.
Bt when it comes to Jesus and his plea for peace, well that's a different story. They will condemn Him as the one who causes all the problems in the world. After all, Christians wouldn't be getting slaughtered all around the globe by this blood cult if they would only convert to Islam.
The inquistions were relatively isolated to Europe, plus contrary to the teachings of the Lord, carried out by fanatics, whereas Islam's bloody crusade is global, continuous , and follows the teachings of muhammad to the letter.
Now, now. We ALL know that Islam is a 'Religion of Peace' and this kind of profiling is unfair and unjust.
Do I really need to put a {sarcasm} tag there?
No, I'll wait for someone to come along and prove me wrong with scripture from that peaceful cult. I've been waiting for that for the past 6 years now, along with others like Ali Sina, Robert Spencer, Craig Winn, and a whole army of others who are wize to the ways of Islam.
You are not alone. It's impossible to get the word out with the MSM but luckily with forums like FP it will slowly get out there.
You are right, this is NOT a religion, it is a cult.
Please keep in mind that I'm not speaking against Christianity per se, just pointing out that religious fanatism has been demonstrated by them in the past, and neither am I appologizing for Islamofascism.
The people (Inquisistors) believed they were following the percepts of the Holy Bible (based on their interpretation).
Today we can say that yesterday's Inquisistion fanatics are to Christianity as today's 'hirabah' are to Islam (though, as you say, largely limited to Europe- an important distinction which reflects the globalized nature of the present).

Sadly, the U.S. press had not delved into the debate about what kind of war and violence the Quran condemns. Let's look at several Arabic words. Saddam Hussein and Saudi members of the Wahhabi sect argue that terrorists are martyrs: They pay $25,000 or more to the surviving families of mujahideen (holy warriors) who participate in jihad and become shahidin (martyrs). But other Muslims call terrorists mufsidoon (evil-doers) engaged in hirabah (unholy war against society) and heading not to paradise but to jahannam (eternal hellfire).
Muslims originally used the term hirabah to condemn vicious attacks by members of barbarian tribes who murdered or enslaved those they fought and defeated. Such barbarians engaged in "war against society," attacking indiscriminately as today's hirabah mufsidoon (vicious war evildoers) attack indiscriminately. The TrueSpeak Institute in Washington argues that traditional Islamic law bans "the fomenting of hatred between communities, religions, nations and civilizations; committing and enticing others to commit suicide for the purpose of intimidation; and wanton killing of innocents and noncombatants, even including fellow Muslims."
Even if that is true, Saddam, bin Laden, and other purveyors of violent hatred have been redefining the classic concepts. Israeli adults are not innocent because many at some point had military training, and Israeli children are future aggressors, Saddam charges. Clerks in the World Trade Center were not noncombatants because they fueled capitalism that makes possible American aggression, bin Laden argues. U.S. forces' attack on Iraq is not to force change in a regime that has violated the peace agreements signed after Gulf War I, but to destroy a center of Islam, many mullahs mutter.
How many other Muslims follow that train of thought? The question of definition—jihad or hirabah—is crucial for Muslims, but most Americans are unaware of the debate. A Lexis-Nexis search early in 2003 showed seven references to hirabah in the previous 90 days and thousands to jihad. That debate is on among Islamic scholars, though. For example, Ezzeddin Ibrahim of the United Arab Emirates stated that "what occurred on Sept. 11, 2001, is one of the most loathsome of crimes, which in Islam goes under the name of al-hirabah."
Similarly, Akbar Ahmed, chairman of Islamic Studies at American University, said that "al-Qaeda's brand of suicide mass murder and its fomenting of hatred among races, religions, and cultures do not constitute godly or holy jihad—but, in fact, constitute the heinous crime and sin of unholy hirabah." Tamman Adi, director of the Islamic Cultural Center in Eugene, Ore., also argued that "the masterminds of international terrorism are not fighting a jihad, they are hirabah thugs."
