Suspected Islamic militants this morning shot dead two Buddhist teachers and then set their bodies ablaze near the school where they used to teach in southern Thailand, local police said.

The charred remains of the bodies were found 100 metres from the school entrance, near the pickup truck they were driving when the militants attacked.

One of the victims, Chamnong Koopathanaphong, was the principal of the school in Yala province and the second man Manoo Sornkaew, was a teacher at the school. Police said they believed the two were dead before their bodies were set on fire.

The southern region of the country is a battleground of bloody clashes between the Muslim and Buddhist communities. The region, which borders Malaysia, was an independent sultanate until it was annexed by Thailand in 1902. Now a group of Muslim militants is seeking independence once again from Bangkok through violent means. Since January 2004, clashes have already claimed 1,700 victims.

Thailand's new military-installed government, which came to power following a pacific coup in September, has made a number of offers to leaders of the insurrection in a bid to make peace in the region, but so far they have been turned down.

If Muslims want something it always involves violence. Why do you think they call it the "religion of peace". Its a joke. This planet has a virus and its name is Islam. Death and destruction will continue until sufficient antibodies have been created and the virus defeated.

"Police said they believed the two were dead before their bodies were set on fire."

At least the muslims were being thoughtful and considerate and didn't make them suffer too much. /s

I really hope the rest of the world wakes up to the danger islam presents before it's too late.

I am reading a great book, "The Crisis of Islam," by Bernard Lewis.

Lewis writes, "The presumption is that the duty of jihad will continue, interrupted only by truces, until all the world either adopts the Muslim faith or submits to Muslim rule."

...or destroys Islam as a global religion in a nuclear firestorm.

Methinks the Thai Buddhists will not take this kindly nor lying down.

... or outlaws it as the criminal deathcult it is...

...but before that, every citizen of the free world will see his privacy and civil right stolen by their own government in order to protect the "rights" of these criminal madmen.

For those who are not familiar with the area, Asia, Buddists are not always peaceful.

I was in Cambodia, no, not on Christmas, and there were a couple of rival temples throwing grenades into each other's places of worship.

But this was a classic power stuggle and nothing like the Islam(a false religion IMO) terrorists are doing. It was Monk vs. Monk rather than Islamofascist vs. women and children.

Bring back imperialism. Or depopulate their nests and reset to colonialism.
Them or us.

A warning through a song to the radical jihadis.
Just found this recently. Not my particular brand of music, but catchy and the words are spot on.

You can't negotiate with terrorists.

Outrage over the "occupation" of "Palestine," no doubt.
