Suspected Muslim separatists shot dead a Buddhist family of four in Thailand's deep south, police said on Tuesday, the latest attack in an escalation of violence in the region.

The killings followed a bloody raid on an army camp and a big roadside bombing in the past 12 days that were believed to have been carried out by ethnic Malay Muslim rebels seeking autonomy from predominantly Buddhist Thailand.

The bodies of the Buddhist couple, their daughter, 15, and 7-year-old son were found in a forest in Yala, one of three Muslim-dominated provinces bordering Malaysia where more than 4,300 people have been killed in violence since 2004.

Just being a Buddhist is justification for killing a family including a seven and fifteen year old. This was a poor family. Blood for the moon god.

Whenever a liberal tells me that Muslim terrorism is result if American foreign policy and evil European Christian imperialism, I always point out that the Muslims have been killing innocent innocent Buddhist monks and teachers in southern Thailand.

Muslim Arabs also pounced in the 7th century (641 C.E.). After their conquest of the Byzantine provinces of Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and ... they invaded Egypt .

The persecuted Copts were the original inhabitants. Egypt, before the Islamic invasion was not an Arab country.

the Malaysians fought against the Jihadis in the 15th century to finally succumb to the Jihad, and today the Malaysian Jihadis are plotting to transform Malaysia into an Islamic Caliphate .

Before being overrun by Islam, the people of Malaysia and Indonesia were overwhelmingly Hindu and Buddhists. there is no greater contrast than that between Buddhism and Islam. While Buddhism is intrinsically and universally non-violent, Islam is a violent, cruel and murderous paranoia
