in response to reader comment: honesty is not islamic

Submitted by Bunnak Sirimana (India), Jun 4, 2007 at 10:47

I was brought up in Southern part of Thailand and I have seen examples of so called " Islamic Honesty" from time to time. Islam is the only religion or cult in which their arabian allah has allowed them to lie , cheat , murder , backstab and anything else unethical or immoral to forward the cause of Islam in our peaceful paradise " Thailand". Few muslims went to Gulf Muslim Emirates and when they came back they came with beards and skulls caps and their hearts filled with hatred for Thailand , Thai Society , Thai Language , Thai Culture and everything which was not Islamic.

Now we have lost our peace as Jehad is spreading in Thailand and South is buring and the Thai Society in North are also feeling the heat of Jehad.........

For details about the Islamic Jehad and introduction of Voilent Culture of Islam in Thailand , please read this ,

The jihad in Southern Thailand has been increasing in virulence despite the initiative towards reconciliation taken by the Government through direct interactions with the Muslim community as well as through the good offices of Muslim countries such as Malaysia, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. Apart from the security forces, the jihadi terrorists have been systematically targeting not only Buddhists----but, of late, even innocent Muslims. In the past, there were instances of targetted attacks on Muslims, who were either public servants or who were suspected of collaborating with the Government agencies, but during the last few weeks, the terrorists have been targeting even innocent Muslims, who had nothing to do with the Government such as rubber-tappers. These were targeted killings and not accidental or collateral killings. Muslims have been killed even while praying inside mosques.

2. Instances of jihadi terrorists killing Muslims are frequent in Pakistan and India's Jammu & Kashmir. We have been seeing such instances even in the rest of India since the beginning of last year. There have been four targeted attacks on Muslims in different parts of India. In the latest at Hyderabad, the needle of suspicion points to the Bangladesh branch of the Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (HUJI) of Pakistan, but the investigation is incomplete.

3. In India and Pakistan, jihadi killings of Muslims fall into the following categories: First, Sunni extremists killing Shias and vice versa. This has been happening in Pakistan, but not in India. Second, terrorists belonging to Al Qaeda and its International Islamic Front (IIF) killing Muslims who are perceived as pro-government. And third, Wahabised jihadis killing Muslims not prepared to support the Wahabi brand of Islam and the pan-Islamic ideology of Al Qaeda and the IIF.

4. The Thai authorities themselves seem to suspect that the terrorists are trying to create and aggravate a sectarian divide. General Sonthi Boonyaratglin, the Muslim head of the Army, was reported to have told pressmen at Pattani on April 11, 2007, that insurgent attacks had become more lethal even though the number of incidents had fallen. "The attacks have decreased in number but the militants have adjusted their strategies to be more violent and brutal in order to terrify people," he said. He said he feared the Islamic separatists were trying to spark a broader communal conflict, and urged both Buddhists and Muslims to work to reduce the tension between the faiths. "Don't fall into their trap. Villagers must be patient. The militants want to create a sectarian war," he said. My comment: It is not correct that the number of attacks has fallen.

5. It was apparent he was having in mind the targeted attacks on Buddhists and was articulating his fears about the apparent efforts of the terrorists to drive a wedge between the Muslims and the Buddhists. He did not comment on the attacks on Muslims. Why are the terrorists attacking and killing innocent Muslims? Is there a Shia-Sunni sectarian angle to it? In the absence of information about the sectarian composition of the Thai Muslim population and any evidence of a Sunni-Shia divide, it has been difficult to answer this question.

6. In a report on religious freedom in Thailand prepared in 2003, the US State Department had said: "Islam is the dominant religion in four of the five southernmost provinces, which border Malaysia. Minority Muslim populations also live in 74 of the 76 provinces. The majority of Muslims are ethnic Malay, but the Muslim population encompasses groups of diverse ethnic and national origin, including descendants of immigrants from South Asia, China, Cambodia, and Indonesia. Government agencies did not use consistent figures to describe the size of the Muslim population during the period covered by this report, but most estimates suggest that Muslims constitute between 6 and 10 percent of the population. There are approximately 3,320 mosques in 59 provinces, with the largest number in Pattani province. All but a very small number of these mosques are associated with the Sunni branch of Islam. The remainder, estimated by the Religious Affairs Department (RAD) to be from 1 to 2 percent of the total, are associated with the Shi'a branch of Islam."

7.In the absence of authentic claims, the identity of the terrorists still remains unclear. On November 23,2006, the Al Jazeera TV channel quoted Wan Kadir Che Wan,who heads Bersatu, an umbrella organisation for southern separatist groups, as saying that young fighters were unwilling to negotiate with the Thai Government because they believed they were winning their fight for a separate state. "This new generation of people, they are very young and they are very determined... the old generation can compromise but this new generation seems to still want independence," Wan Kadir told Al Jazeera. "Not only independence but they want to establish an Islamic state of Pattani, " he added. He claimed that the younger groups were being helped by the Jemmah Islamiyah (JI), which now had a presence in the region along the southern border with Malaysia. He also alleged that the insurgents had a source inside the government who had been collaborating with them. "As far as I understand, they have been collecting the weapons for a long time in preparation and also the money. So this is not just accident, this is planning. The main advantage of this situation is that they are inside the Thai government itself so they know many things."

8.However, as pointed out in my previous articles, the modus operandi (MO) followed by the terrorists in Southern Thailand have more in common with those followed by jihadi terrorists in Pakistan and Bangladesh than that followed by the JI. Examples: First, avoidance of mass casualty terrorism while carrying out a large number of explosions and avoidance of targeted attacks on foreigners, particularly from the West. This has till now been the MO of the Jamiat-ul-Mujahideen (JUM ) of Bangladesh. Second, targeted attacks on nationalist Muslims, who do not support Wahabism and pan-Islamism. This has been the MO of the HUJI of Bangladesh. Third, targeted attacks on Shias even inside mosques and drive-by killings. This has been the typical MO of the Sunni extremist Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LEJ) of Pakistan.

9. There have been increasing visits of Sunni as well as Shia Tablighis (preachers) to Thailand from the sub-continent. The Sunni tablighis belong to the Tablighi Jamaat of Pakistan and Bangladesh, which acts as the front organisations of the jihadi organisations of these countries.The Shia Tablighis belong to the Dar al Tabligh of the World Federation of Khoja Shia Ithna Asheri Communities, which was formed in the 1970s by the Khoja Shias, who fled from Uganda after Idi Amin captured power. It was quite active in India, but the Iranian intelligence has allegedly been using it through the Iranian Red Crescent Society. it had stepped up its humanitarian work in Thailand after the Tsunami disaster of December,2004.

10. There is a possibility of the competing Tablighi work of these two organisations among the Muslims of Thailand introducing in Thailand the hitherto non-existent Shia-Sunni divide.

11. The Annexure is a collation of the major incidents in Southern Thailand during the last two months. (1-6)

May 10, 2007: A Buddhist and two Muslims were shot dead in separate drive-by shootings in the Narathiwat province. In a separate incident in the Pattani province, two soldiers were wounded in a bomb blast as they protected a group of Buddhist monks on their morning rounds to collect alms. Some 200 Muslims in the Yala province ended a week-long blockade of a major highway after negotiations with the provincial governor. In Narathiwat, about 100 Muslim women and children gathered in the main provincial town to demand that the authorities release 12 suspected militants who were arrested after security forces found 50 machetes in their belongings

May 9, 2007: A roadside bomb attack killed seven soldiers of the Thai Army travelling in a pick-up truck in the Narathiwat province. "The improvised bomb weighed about 15 kg and was stashed in a fire extinguisher placed in a roadside ditch," said Sompong Tangtua, a police Lieutenant-Colonel at the scene. The bomb was detonated by a wire strung across the road and some soldiers who appeared to have survived the initial blast were shot dead. Their weapons were taken away by the terrorists. A Muslim man was shot dead as he rode his motorcycle in the Yala province.

April 12, 2007: At least 11 people were wounded by a bomb at a busy market in the Yala province. Another explosive device was defused by the police. The explosion came on the eve of the five-day Buddhist New Year holiday. The bomb, hidden under a market stall, was set off by a mobile phone. The defused device was discovered at a public phone booth near the market.

April 11, 2007: A 26-year-old Buddhist woman was shot dead in the Yala province and her body burnt beyond recognition. Some 200 Buddhists paraded the charred remains of the woman through the streets of Yala in a dramatic protest. They wrapped her body in a white cloth and placed it at the staircase of a government building where General Sonthi Boonyaratglin, the head of the Army, was meeting local leaders. The crowd later swelled to 400 people and held an all-night vigil beside her body in front of the building. Gen.Sonthi met the protesters and told them that the Government was doing its utmost to reduce the violence. The protesters demanded that the Government should provide effective security for the region's minority Buddhists. "Eight Buddhists have been killed and burnt like this on the same road. All the victims were from our village," one of the victim's relatives told reporters. A 19-year-old Buddhist man and his 47-year-old mother were also killed in Yala in a drive-by shooting the same day. In the Narathiwat province, a 50-year-old Muslim village chief was shot dead in a drive-by killing just 100 metres from his home, as he was going to a wedding party. In the Pattani province, five officials from the Revenue Department were wounded as a roadside bomb exploded near their van. Gen.Sonthi told reporters that insurgent attacks had become more lethal even though the number of incidents had fallen. "The attacks have decreased in number but the militants have adjusted their strategies to be more violent and brutal in order to terrify people," he said. He said he feared the Islamic separatists were trying to spark a broader communal conflict, and urged both Buddhists and Muslims to work to reduce tension between the faiths. "Don't fall into their trap. Villagers must be patient. The militants want to create a sectarian war," he said.

...I wish the Americans and Europeans will realise the Threat posed by Islamists in West and Rest of the World. I urge True Americans to stand for your Great Nation of Freedom and Democracy.

USA is the last bastion of Defense and Muslims are targetting US to conquer the world for allah as after fall of USA none of the remaining countries have power and will to stop Islam from Talibanisation of Whole World.
