muslim beheading buddhist man

PATTANI, Thailand, April 30 (Reuters) - Suspected Muslim militants beheaded a Buddhist man, shot dead his nephew and set both bodies on fire in Thailand's rebellious far south, police and soldiers said on Monday.

The 30-year man and his 14-year-old nephew were killed in a Muslim village in Pattani, one of the three southern most provinces hit by three years of separatist violence in which more than 2,100 people have been killed.

The head was found 5 km (3 miles) away at a government school where three bombs were planted at the entrance, police Lieutenant Colonel Yuthakan Plienpoe told Reuters.

"They wanted to trap us with these bombs," Yuthakan said by telephone. Mobile phone service was switched off in the area to prevent the bombs being set off by phone signals.

Despite 30,000 soldiers and paramilitary rangers in the region, gun or bomb attacks on anybody -- Muslim or Buddhist -- seen as working with the government take place daily in the Malay-speaking region.

The army has said it needs another 10,000 troops in the region, an independent sultanate until annexed by largely Buddhist Thailand a century ago, but the government said it would prefer to give villagers military training and guns.

Another senseless "religious" war. Hopefully it will not escalate.

 

when will these craziness ever end? -cry2

 

Guess it will never end since there would always be extremists who will never stop to prove themselves better or cannot learn to forgive people's trespasses against them.

 

ehhh i guess it will never end really

 

Sighzzz... and sometimes the media just aggravates and exaggerates.

 

so you dont think this is true?? its just a hoax?

 

^Nope... what i meant is for EXAMPLE, It's just a coincidence that the guy who did it is a Muslim and the one who got beheaded is a Buddhist... But the media labelled it such a way that it sounded there's a religious war going on. That's just an example, doesn't necessary apply to this case.

 

^ahh understood just blowing out of proportion for example if a jewish guy shot a black man by accident they make it a racial thing is that what u saying

 

^Yup! And then it really turns into a racial thingy after the media's sensational report

 

the world is fucked up...

 

^well thats not anything new

 

Those dumbass never gonna stop. Poor Buddhist man

 

screw that muslim dude, i dont really like muslims in general...they seems to have problem with every other religion

 

theres a war between the muslims and buddhist communities in thailand right now

 

Muslims have beef with every religion. The real apocalypse will be when we all blow each other up simultaneously.

 

nope it never ends... life would be easier if everyone had one god or none at all
