THAILAND: Muslims behead a 9-year-old boy (WARNING: Graphic Images)

[Archangel M]

http://barenakedislam.wordpress.com...head-a-9-year-old-boy-warning-graphic-images/

More than than 4000 people from police and teachers to monks and children have been killed in the past 7 years by Muslims in southern Thailand, but hardly a word in the mainstream media. In Southern Thailand Muslim gunmen continue killing and threatening innocent citizens. The Muslim insurgents have threatened to kill 20 teachers and have distributed fliers that said, “WANTED: 20 Deaths of Buddhist teachers.” Muslim terrorists object to the education system which teaches Buddhist culture that is not acceptable in Islam. The attacks are intended to force Buddhists to leave the region because Muslims want to create an independent Muslim nation in the three southern provinces.

Video is not for the weak of stomach.

hmmm.. gee, but this must be a mistake, islam is a religion of peace

The video is real. The story is incorrect.

Hallucinating Father Kills Two Sons Before Hanging Himself
UPDATE : 25 April 2011
In a tragic incident, a father went mad killing his two sons before hanging himself at his house in Rayong Province.

In the Pluakdaeng District of Rayong Province, 38 year old Sawai Kaewkanya, a father of two, was on his daily morning routine of rubber tapping when he went nuts, injuring his wife and killing his ten year old and three year old sons with a machete.


Sawai first went after his wife who then ran to her neighbor's house for help before he went back to attack his children and hang himself.

Police said the insane father had previously been arrested in a drug case and had a history of drug-related violence.

In any case, part of the story is true. Southern Thailand is home to a minority 10% Muslim population, there is an insurgent war in progress, and Islamic terrorists have indeed beheaded people.

It should also be noted that in the past several weeks, two Buddhists have been discovered beheaded - and one Muslim has been stabbed to death and crucified ("for being an infidel Islamist") in the area. I can post the links to the stories if you like.

In my news search, I also discovered recent news stories involving beheadings. A man in Africa, apparently an Animist, who beheaded some children to extract their 'juju' (pretty sure 'juju' is not an Islamic term). A bunch of people found beheaded in Mexico near the US border, presumably by Mexican drug smugglers. A woman in India beheaded by her boyfriend (story was posted on MT recently) in some kind of weird murder/suicide pact). And a woman who beheaded her child in Georgia. Apparently mentally disturbed, but definitely not Muslim.

But hey, let's go with "Muslims are bad," because that's what's important here. Right?

 

[Twin Fist]

some muslims ARE bad

 

[Archangel M]

If one were to do a study of world religions TODAY and see which denominations are involved in "operations" like this...organized, funded, supported groups that are a threat on a national scale...not the "lone whacko or small splinter group"..what it would show?

 

[billc]

That an organized, state sponsered group of swedish grandmothers is actually more of a terrorist threat than anyone else. Obviously, with the anectdotal evidence at airports of swedish looking female senior citizens getting full screenings at security check points, the government has intelligence on this group that we do not have. One can only hope that the information on this multinational terrorist movement of seniors was not obtained by water boarding.

I sympathize with you Arch angel, thanks for the post.

 

[Bill Mattocks]

some muslims ARE bad

Yes, some are.

Some are bad in the name of their religion, and some are just bad people - their religion has nothing to do with their badness.

It is also true that some Christians, Jews, Atheists, Jains, Agnostics, and Buddhists are bad. And some of them are bad in the name of their religion and some are just bad without their religion (or lack of it) being involved.

Being fixated on news stories involving bad Muslims over any other sort indicate an unhealthy obsession, IMHO. Some call it bigotry.

It would show that militant Islamic groups are far more prevalent than violent religious groups of any other type. No one denies this. Militant Islam is a serious and real problem, and it's getting worse.

And that has what to do with posting a link to a bogus news story that does not, in fact, involve Muslims beheading anyone?

 

[Bob Hubbard]

some muslims ARE bad

Yes, some Muslims are.

What PERCENTAGE of Muslims are Bad?

US Population: 307M-313M
Source: US Census & CIA Fact Book

US Muslim Population: 0.6% (1.82-1.88M)
Source: CIA Fact Book

Side Note: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_in_the_United_States

So, what PERCENTAGE of Muslims are the evil ones?
I keep seeing people beating the "Muslims Bad" drum, you must have this information.
So share it.

 

[Twin Fist]

surveys in the middle east show 35% support terrorist or agree with them.

and that survey doesnt include iran, saudi arabia, iraq, afganistan which are more anti american than the ones surveyed.


but lets just say it is 1%, for the sake of argument.(we all know it is higher, but lets just say it is 1%

how many muslims in the world? 1 billion?

now do the numbers:
1,000,000,000 x 0.01=10,000,000n potential 9-11's

BTW- one lasssssssst time, i think the religion itself is bad, not the people, they were not born jihadists, but corruption from that book makes a lot of them that way.

http://pewresearch.org/pubs/26/where-terrorism-finds-support-in-the-muslim-world

now, for some contrary (or is it) information

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_terrorism

• Gallup conducted tens of thousands of hour-long, face-to-face interviews with residents of more than thirty-five predominantly Muslim countries between 2001 and 2007. It found that – contrary to the prevailing perception in the west that the actions of al-Qaida enjoy wide support in the Muslim world – more than 90% of respondents condemned the killing of non-combatants on religious and humanitarian grounds [197]

but then again:

• A 2004, a year after the War in Iraq, Pew Research survey found that suicide bombings against Americans were seen as "justifiable" by Jordanians (70%), Pakistanis (46%), and Turks (31%).At the same time, the survey found that support for the U.S.-led War on Terror had increased.[198][199]
• A 2005 Pew Research study that involved 17,000 people in 17 countries showed support for terrorism was declining in the Muslim world along with a growing belief that Islamic extremism represents a threat to those countries.[200] A Daily Telegraph survey[201] showed that 88% of Muslims said the July 2005 bombings in the London Underground were unjustified, while 6% disagreed.
• In Pakistan, despite the recent rise in the Taliban's influence, a poll conducted by Terror Free Tomorrow in Pakistan in January 2008 tested support for al-Qaida, the Taliban, other militant Islamist groups and Osama bin Laden himself, and found a recent drop by half. In August 2007, 33% of Pakistanis expressed support for al-Qaida; 38% supported the Taliban. By January 2008, al-Qaida's support had dropped to 18%, the Taliban's to 19%. When asked if they would vote for al-Qaida, just 1% of Pakistanis polled answered in the affirmative. The Taliban had the support of 3% of those polled [197]
• Pew Research surveys in 2008 show that in a range of countries – Jordan, Pakistan, Indonesia, Lebanon, and Bangladesh – there have been substantial declines in the percentages saying suicide-bombings and other forms of violence against civilian targets can be justified to defend Islam against its enemies. Wide majorities say such attacks are, at most, rarely acceptable [197]
• The shift of attitudes against terror has been especially dramatic in Jordan, where 29% of Jordanians are recorded as viewing suicide-attacks as often or sometimes justified (down from 57% in May 2005). In the largest majority-Muslim nation, Indonesia, 74% of respondents agree that terrorist attacks are "never justified" (a substantial increase from the 41% level to which support had risen in March 2004); in Pakistan, that figure is 86%; in Bangladesh, 81%; and in Iran, 80% [197]
• A poll conducted in Osama bin Laden's home country of Saudi Arabia in December 2008 shows that his compatriots have dramatically turned against him, his organisation, Saudi volunteers in Iraq, and terrorism in general. Indeed, confidence in bin Laden has fallen in most Muslim countries in recent years [197]
• In Iraq, people of all persuasions unanimously reject the terror tactics against Iraqi civilians of "al-Qaida in Mesopotamia". An ABC News/BBC/NHK poll revealed that all of those surveyed – Sunni and Shi'a alike – found al-Qaida attacks on Iraqi civilians "unacceptable"; 98% rejected the militants' attempts to gain control over areas in which they operated; and 97% opposed their attempts to recruit foreign fighters and bring them to Iraq [197]

so the SMALLEST estimates say "less than 10%"

so lets assume that is true, that means UP TO 9%

how many muslims in the world?

 

[Bob Hubbard]

how many muslims in the world?

Enough that if the paranoia was fully justified, we'd already have been decapitated and out empty heads wired for those new fangled LED lights.

how many muslims in the world?

2 Billion. almost 1/3 of the world population.

how many muslims in the world?

A lot more than there are American's.

how many muslims in the world?

So many, you'd run out of rope, bullets, bombs, arrows, and witty rejoinders before they unleash bloody jihad on Mayberry and turn Aunt Bee into a gooseberry pie.

If the threat was as big a deal as all the hype, lies, and outright BS make it out to be.

So, 1% of US population. 1.82M
1% of that as 'terrorists or terrorist sympathizers". 19k
We had in 10 years under 300 cases of 'Domestic Terrorism'.

Shouldn't we have had more?
Alot more?
Shouldn't we be like, having cars blowing up weekly?
Shouldn't we have had massive states of emergency?
Shouldn't we have had you know, mainstream media covering it? I mean, all these constant threats and attacks and what not, surely someone's been catching it?

Or, is it just that much overhyped paranoia?

Oh....by the way....you did catch that part where it said 25% of the new Muslims in America were you know....black?

So...should I be afraid of blacks now too?

 

[Bob Hubbard]

Nations who hate the US:
Iran
North Korea
Somalia
Syria
Libya

know what the top 2 have? Hint: The US is the ONLY nation in world history to use them on civilian populaces.

Guess which one can hit California?

 

[Twin Fist]

Bob,
the North Koreans cant even manage to grow enough wheat to feed thier own people, they may have nukes, but i doubt they have delivery vehicles, and they will never attack us outright, no reason to.

you seemed determined to pretend there is no muslim problem in the world, i guess just because you wish there wasnt one, but wishing dont fill up baskets, you know?

look at the big picture, look how much happens across the globe, how many crimes committed BY MUSLIMS in the NAME OF ISLAM

it is real, and it is a particuarly bad enemy cuz you cant bargin with them

 

[MA-Caver]

I appreciate Bill digging further into this story and find out that it had NOTHING to do with religion or Muslim or anything... just a father who went out of his mind and killed his family before killing himself.

Hallucinating Father Kills Two Sons Before Hanging Himself

That people are twisting this tragedy into something that it is not is nothing more than hate-mongering and ill used propaganda. Not too unlike how the Viet Cong showed villagers American made canned goods with pictures of the items inside, then showing a jar of Gerber baby food and letting them draw their won conclusions.

It's sickening that they would resort to this.

Will it stop?

Prolly not... at least until the unthinkable happens and we'll stand poised on the knife edge of utter destruction and (hopefully) pull back, then another shrine will be built that didn't need to be.

Hey, some of that looks familiar.


Now this, just doesn't happen.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Terrorism


The problem with American's is that they believe the Universe revolves around them, that they are the good guys, and that everyone else should be grateful they're around. You know, sometimes, we're not. Not the good guys, not welcome, and resented.
Go do a survey in North Korea, Iran, Somalia, hell Libya and Northern Mexico. Ask them if they think Americans should be shot. I bet you get a good ratio that says yes.
I wonder why.


Of course, threads like this one, where the original posts story was quickly debunked don't matter. "If that story wasnt true, it happened somewhere else anyway".

69 US cops have died so far this year.
How many of those deaths were the result of am Islamic Terrorist?

There is a threat, yes.
But I'm more likely to slip in the shower, crash my car, get struck by lightning, OR Win The Lottery, than be a victim of an Islamic Terror Attack inside the US.
If I was wandering around the US/Mexican border, I have a better chance of getting nailed by a drug gang, than a car bomb. If I was wandering around IN! Mexico, I'm still safer than some make it out to be.

Simply put, The Sky Is Not Falling!

I am simply speaking up for being mindfull is all. You admit there is a problem at least

nothing wrong with being mindfull of the threats out there.

oh, and i pay attention to ALL the threats. Not just the islamic ones.

 

[Bob Hubbard]

Be nice if those other ones came up once in a while.

Why, if I looked at the last months threads here, I'd get the impression that troop transports had hit the beaches, and a clone army let by Obama himself was half way to Phili already, as nuns were being decapitated in the streets of DC.

i will try to get the mexican cartels to murder a few more tourists.....


not my fault that the islamics keep pulling this ****

The video is real. The story is incorrect.

In any case, part of the story is true. Southern Thailand is home to a minority 10% Muslim population, there is an insurgent war in progress, and Islamic terrorists have indeed beheaded people.

It should also be noted that in the past several weeks, two Buddhists have been discovered beheaded - and one Muslim has been stabbed to death and crucified ("for being an infidel Islamist") in the area. I can post the links to the stories if you like.

In my news search, I also discovered recent news stories involving beheadings. A man in Africa, apparently an Animist, who beheaded some children to extract their 'juju' (pretty sure 'juju' is not an Islamic term). A bunch of people found beheaded in Mexico near the US border, presumably by Mexican drug smugglers. A woman in India beheaded by her boyfriend (story was posted on MT recently) in some kind of weird murder/suicide pact). And a woman who beheaded her child in Georgia. Apparently mentally disturbed, but definitely not Muslim.

But hey, let's go with "Muslims are bad," because that's what's important here. Right?

Ok. So this is what I got. Drugs are bad. Middle Eastern Mythology is bad. Mental Illness is bad.

Now what is part of the remedy for all 3?
