Published Date: 30 April 2007
SUSPECTED Muslim insurgents in Thailand killed two Buddhist villagers, beheading one of them, and left a note saying the attack was revenge for a deadly weekend bombing at a mosque.
The two burned bodies, one of them headless, were found on a road in Pattani province. A severed head was found about three miles from the scene.

A spray-painted message on the road near the bodies said "This is revenge for Hutae Bongor", a reference to the town where the mosque blast killed a Muslim man and injured three others.

Muslims in South Thailand are always murdering Buddhists. I'm surprised they bother with excuses.

Behold the peace of Islam

Sura (8:12) - I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them

Aye, it's a peace-loving religion is Islam.

Walk down a crowded market street in Mecca or Karachi (or that matter Bradford or Oldham); suggest by way of philosophical discourse that "Mohammed is not the prophet", and await the coherent and cogent discourse that you will receive in reply (or just from the mob that will try to behead you).

Deep down they know (the Mohammedan's) that their religion is utter mince.

Islam: Peace and love thru violence!

What's this fixation Muslims have with beheading folk?

These comments are Not At All Helpful to Diversity. We have to recognise and respect these peoples' Cultural Traditions. So if that includes striking off a few heads and some fingertips, or running for your life from some outraged, ignorant , brainwashed mob in your own country, hey, that's all part of the Tolerant British Way.
Can't wait to see how the Politically Correct & ECHR Brigade deal with a demand for Sharia Law in Bradford, stoning women for adultery and other kinds of medieval barbarity that Islam prescribes.

#7 i think it was buddists and it was unfriendly fire; much the best way!
i also note that Iran are prohibiting "western style" haircuts for men as they are un-islamic. could we not therefore insist that the muslim women in the UK dress according to our traditions?

#8 - unfortunately it doesn't work that way.

"Western" style haircuts in the east? No way.

"Eastern" style dress in the west? Absolutely!

Lashings of hypocrisy all round.

#8- Arrow- Do you know if that is in retaliation from the buddists that were beheaded a few weeks ago? (not that I blame the buddists)

Correction for #10, retaliation "due" to the buddists that were beheaded

When Islam is finally routed from the world, I believe world peace will prevail. Their so-called belief system is a sickening medieval plague. Kill, kill, kill, and subjugate. For what? Come on you Muslims in Europe, condemn these acts. Hmm, though so. you never do. Tacit acceptance of a filthy way of life.

Western apologists of the filth of Islam are strangely absent when topics of this kind are raised.

I wonder why. Well, I don't wonder too much, as even these deluded fools must recognise gratuitous barbarity when it stares them in the face.

Islam is brutal and sick-making. Islamists worldwide - I challenge you to defend your stupid religion. No .. you can't. It is a dirty cult whose central tenet is to kill all who oppose it. It is male-driven, male-oriented, insults women, and is entirely violent. A filthy poultice on society.

If we keep on pretending Islam is not a problem
these fanatic`s will just keep on with their terrorist attacks! we can debate the good or bad about any religion, but not this one, this is a religion like no other,we had better wake up!

Exactly. And where are their apologists today? Beheadings, anyone? Sick fools.

Islam IS the world's biggest problem and no mistake. Forget nuclear nutters like North Korea and the Islamic idiot fool's paradise of Iran. They just posture, while fully aware that they can be taken out by a day's bombing.

Islam though, is a sinister, nasty, vile philosophy and it is in every society on earth. It should be expunged from western society for sure. And stuff every and any right-on political party that attempts to woo it. Liars all.

Islam is a peaceful religion. Those who read the history of Muhammad (Peace be upon him) will know that he never preached violence. But Islam is not a weak religion, since he forbade muslims to keep still under oppression.

(when you're oppressed, you must either run --Allah's earth is so wide-- or fight back).

I dont know much about the conflict in Thailand. But if they're truly muslims, they will never attack first. Muhammad never attacked first. Muslims retaliate when they're tired of running all the time.

So Islam is not a problem. Sometimes some fanatics do cause problem. But fanaticism is not a monopoly of Islam. Christianity and Judaism also have their fanatics.

Peace be upon you all.

#16-basf- I dont remember being taught that muhammad was a peaceful preacher. Please explain how muslims are being oppressed?

#15- Angus- Supposedly, the moderate muslims are afraid to speak out against the radicals. I don't understand why they would be afraid because islam is a peaceful religion and a muslim is not supposed to kill another muslim. Go figure!

#17. Muhammad is a peaceful preacher. Its a historical fact. When Muhammad ran to Madina and came back a few years later to conquer Mecca, Bilal -his army commander- announced the rule:
- no uprooting plants
- no killling women and children
- those who seek refuge in church and synagoge are safe

And no civilians killed.

King Saladin insyaallah also understand this concept when he captured Jerusalem and relased civilans for ransom. He didnt slaughter them all like the previous conqueror in 1099. The american movie "Kingdom of Heaven" quite accurately described it.

I think it was such a misconception when people see Muhammad as a violent-person.

As for the oppression, I refer to the bombing of mosque in thailand. I dont know much about the conflict but they shouldn't have done that. I myself dont agree on bombing church and synagoge, or hurting civilians, since our prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) forbade us to do so. Rules are not to be broken.

And moderate muslims are not afraid of speaking against the radicals. A lot of preachers in Indonesia condemned the Bali-bombing coz it's violent and unjustifiable by any reasons.

But many of them stand for Ba'asyir 'coz he not some kind of bombing mastermind. He's just an old preacher. (jut like Jerry Fallwell and Pat Robertson in US)
