Muslims Ransack Buddhist Shrine - Beheadings, 108 dead |

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.
Who is behind the Thai attacks?
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.

A very long time. Since the early 1900's IIRC. Pattani only became part of
Thailand then and there has been a small seperatist movement there for
decades. I think they want to get back with Malaysia. However this
represents a signficant flare up in violence since the 1970's. No doubt
fuelled by the current crisis Islamism has inflicted upon other parts of the
world.

The problem Count is you give Muslims an inch, they will take a Mile...We
both
know that if you give them this land which they do not deserve, they will
soon
start agitating at other Southern Phillipines provinces....
There is no pleasing the rapacious blood thirst that is Darul Islam....
Thanks
