PATTANI, Thailand - Suspected Islamic insurgents in southern Thailand allegedly exploded an alleged bomb at a busy night market and allegedly wounded 20 people Monday, police said. Earlier in the day, police found the bodies of two Buddhist villagers, one purported to be beheaded, apparently slain by Muslim alleged Asian rebels youths.

Restive in Pieces

Doesn't matter how peaceful the Muslim's neighbors are, if they're Buddhist, Hindu, Animist, Ba'hai, Christian, Jewish, or just a different variant of Islam than their neighbors, Muslims just can't co-exist with anyone.

Maybe we could send Tom Cruise and John Travolta in Travolta's private jet, equipeed with e-meters, to give Scientology audits to the Muslims to see what their major malfunction is.

April 24, 2007: Buddhists are calling for Buddhism to be declared the official religion of Thailand, and for Islamic terrorists to be treated more harshly. This means growing approval of all out war against the Islamic militants. The government would rather offer amnesty and try to convince the Moslems in the south to stop supporting the terrorists. There is a good case for this, as the Moslem population is too small to ever seriously threaten the Buddhist majority. Moreover, the Thais have a tendency to get really vicious when threatened. The government is trying to put a cap on that, because when the revenge attitude gets going, the Moslem population in the south will be in great danger. So much so that over a million Moslems could be pushed across the border into Malaysia, and thousands more killed. Several thousand have already fled to Malaysia, fearing retaliation by Thai Buddhists. Many Buddhists in the south are arming themselves and joining self-defense organizations.

Cape Cod Residents Stunned by Theft of Sept. 11 Memorial

How can anybody stoop so low?

That's what Cape Cod residents are saying after a memorial plaque for a Sept. 11 victim was stolen from Nobska Light on the Massachusetts coast, the Cape Cod Times reported.

Police said the bronze marker was reported stolen April 22. It was installed on the coast in 2002 as a memorial to Neilie Casey, a young mother killed aboard American Airlines Flight 11 when hijackers crashed it into the World Trade Center.

"It's far more than just a personal and family memorial," Kent Kannenberg of Cummaquid, told the Times. "It's mourning a national tragedy and it's symbolic of that, and these creeps desecrated that."

Kannenberg, who is married to Casey's mother, Anne Heffernan, believes the marker may have been stolen by thieves hoping to resell it as scrap.

"I know how important the Nobska Light location is to the Heffernans and Caseys, and I'm deeply saddened that this fitting memorial to her was taken," belched Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., who helped to secure a spot for the memorial. "I'm hopeful that whoever is responsible realizes the deep impact this thoughtless act has on Neilie's family and returns it."

Yet they keep on doing what they're doing and hoping to achieve goals that will ultimately doom them.

Only safe thing they really can do is lob generic rockets into Israel occasionally killing little girls. Which, apparently, is no big deal to the Israelis.

You must have missed the memo -- Islam is now defined as a "race," so hating Mooselims of any color or nationality, whose Koran-directed goal is to convert, enslave, or kill you is still considered "racism."

For example, if you're Caucasian, and you hate another Caucasian, that's not racism. But if the person you hate converts to Islam, at the instant of their conversion you become a "racist."

Father rapes, kills two-year-old child

SULTAN, in order to spite his wife Shahidabanu, who had recently separated from him, along with his friend raped and murdered his two-year-old daughter at Sayla town in Khambhalia taluka of Jamnagar district. Following Sultan's arrest on Sunday, the accused confessed to the crime.

According to case details, the two-year-old's dead body was recovered on April 25, two days after she went missing, from the outskirts of Sayla town.

Since Sultan had earlier threatened Shahidabanu to move in with him or face dire consequences, Shahidabanu grew suspicious when Sultan disappeared after the body was recovered. She then registered a case of rape and murder against her husband.

While the post-mortem report revealed the child was raped and strangulated to death, the police, which was on Sultan's trail, nabbed him.

Based on Sultan's statement, the police also arrested his accomplice Salim Modi. Police said that Sultan was agitated as his wife had moved to her parents place and refused to come back.

"Modi kidnapped the girl on April 23 when she was playing outside her house. The duo raped and then killed her. The body was thrown in deserted outskirt area," said Jamnagar police.

What you learned from this Religion of Peace incident...

"A man can have sexual pleasure from a child as young as a baby. However, he should not penetrate. If he penetrates and the child is harmed then he should be responsible for her subsistence all her life. This girl, however would not count as one of his four permanent wives. The man will not be eligible to marry the girl's sister."

Natural Viagra: Brazilian Spider Bite Causes Hours-Long Erection

A Brazilian spider delivers more than a painful bite that sends most victims to the hospital.

Its venom stimulates an hours-long erection. Now scientists have figured out the chemical that seems to be responsible for the penis boost.

In Brazil, emergency room staff can immediately spot the victims of a bite from the Brazilian wandering spider (Phoneutria nigriventer).

Patients not only experience overall pain and an increase in blood pressure, they also sport an uncomfortable erection.

"The erection is a side effect that everybody who gets stung by this spider will experience along with the pain and discomfort," said study team member Romulo Leite of the Medical College of Georgia, presumably speaking only about male bite victims. "We're hoping eventually this will end up in the development of real drugs for the treatment of erectile dysfunction."

BP CEO Browne resigns hours after ruling
[Link: news.yahoo.com...]

Browne, 59, had been fighting since January to keep the Mail on Sunday newspaper from publishing details from an interview with a man with whom he had a relationship. BP said the newspaper had also sought to report allegations that Browne misused company resources — claims it said an internal investigation determined were unfounded.

In a statement, Browne said he was stepping down voluntarily "to avoid unnecessary embarrassment and distraction to the company."

"For the past 41 years of my career at BP I have kept my private life separate from my business life," he said.

BP said Browne's decision meant he would lose a bonus of up to 1.3 times his annual salary, worth in total over 3.5 million pounds ($6.9 million). He would also forgo inclusion in a share plan with a potential value of some 12 million pounds ($23.9 million.)

You are right on Mccain. Mccain was on the other day with an interview on Fox and he was absolutely UTTERLY pathetic. He was offended at the questions that he was being ask and I think that the questions were done very well. They were what I was thinking which is why I like Fox. I think this was done by Chris Wallis. Mccain basically told off the interviewer because the interviewer said that when he gets Mccain comments in his email from viewers, they aren't too happy with Mccain with the whole mccain-feingold fiasco. All the interviewer did was tell him this and try to give him a platform to explain himself to those people. I saw Mccain as a wimp that couldn't handle tough questions (which weren't even posed as tough I don't think..no wonder he likes creampuff interviews with the MSM) much like obama who whined and cried about the reporter talking about his ears. Suck it up and act like you can actually be Commander in Chief! His wife acts better than him in the interviewing chair.

THE HAGUE – Freedom Party PVV faction leader Geert Wilders is arguing that all Islamic schools in the Netherlands should be shut down immediately. He says this measure is necessary in order to "protect children against the spread of Islamic doctrine."

He admits that he has taken a strong position in the debate on Islam. That is necessary, he says, because it is "the eleventh hour."

STUPIDEST COMMENT OF THE DAY

LONDON (AFP) - Britain's
Prince Charles compared the challenge of tackling climate change to the Allies' struggle in World War II during a speech to business leaders Tuesday.
ADVERTISEMENT

Addressing representatives from firms including Barclays Bank, British Airways and Rolls-Royce at Saint James's Palace in London, Charles said that "we need to act very rapidly indeed" to avert environmental disaster.

"We can do it, just think what they did in the last war. Things that seemed impossible were achieved almost overnight," the heir to the throne added.

Charles has long harboured a passionate interest in green issues -- he has described climate change as "the biggest threat to mankind" while facing criticism that his own lifestyle does not match his rhetoric.

He announced in December last year that he wanted to reduce the impact of overseas royal visits on the environment by replacing carbon-heavy private planes and helicopters with scheduled flights and trains "where appropriate."

But he raised eyebrows among figures including Britain's Environment Secretary, David Miliband, when he flew to the United States to pick up an environmental award.

Charles said Tuesday that business leaders could pay a key role in tackling ecological issues, adding: "It cannot be business as usual."

"When I was serving in the Royal Navy...mayday, mayday, mayday was the distress call used in cases of emergency. It still is, and this is an emergency we face," he added, apparently punning on the date of his address.

Even for a Limey, that is the stupidest thing I have ever heard.

This quote from "An Ethical Basis For War" note:
This is a quote from a text by Bill Warner. It is based on Sun Tsu's The Art of War. It is not necessarily my opinion. I hope it is not deleted.

For 1,400 years Islam has won a declared war against the rest of humanity. For 1,400 years we have tried the strategy of appeasement. We refuse to believe the doctrine of political Islam or its dualistic ethics. We deny its existence and truth.

For 1,400 years dhimmis have believed that some form of defensive coexistence can work. A defensive war against Islam has never worked and it won’t work now. We cannot fight a defensive war to hold what we have. The war must be offensive and fought with the idea of defeating Islam.

Islam’s power grows daily. Our government will not go to war against political Islam, but actually aids its growth through welfare, immigration, and civil rights legislation.

For five years since 9/11, individuals have studied Islam, but the time for individual effort is past. Those few who understand Islam must band together to form community, know the far enemy, and attack the near enemy.

It is simple. Fight or lose our civilization. Denial and pacifism are death of both self and civilization.

Very cute...

Rage Against the Machine: And this current administration is no exception.It should be hung and tried and shot, as any war criminal should be.

Priceless. Let's hang the Bush administration and then give them trials. Perfectly illustrates the closet Stalinism of "progressives" today.

Perhaps after every member of President Bush's administration is hung, shot, tried, drawn, quartered, shot again, hung again, forced to watch Yentl, etc. Perhaps the "progressives" among us should kill all their children so that their seed is wiped from the Earth. They seem to be in the throes of Mogwa style revenge fantasies.

I must admit that I used to like Rage against the Machine. This was of course when I was younger and the only thing I raged about was getting thrown out of College Station area bars. I guess I grew up.

Btw, I have stopped posting at both Rantburg and Free Republic because of the moronic redneck invective I have been getting from certain posters there.
These are the dumbasses who give conservativism a bad name, especially their white trash cultural habit of making disparaging statements whether they have a remote connection to reality or not.

The classic low-class redneck for some reason believes that his opinion is of inestimable importance to others and that he has gained dominance if you can't or won't hold him down and step on his neck until he admits he is wrong or stupid.

I really am not interested in persuading these cowards that this is not a barroom and the power games that prevail in that environment, moronic as they are, have no validity even by monkey troop standards when made from behind the anonymity of the internet.

Insulting me to my face is one thing, even if stupid and pointless. Doing it on the net only proves that these people are part of a subculture that does not deserve to survive, and that will not survive.

They are overbearing and arrogant when not threatened with force, cowardly and obsequious when opposed. Their weakness, narcissism, greed, and contempt for intellect are the real reason we are losing this country to
third world invaders and Islamic terrorists.

McCulloch and San Saba County TORNADO WARNING

I will have to now intenret search for the first historical painting of a Texas event, the murder of the two Franciscan priests by Commanche Indians at the Mision Santa Cruz de San Saba.

OT: Senator Gravel is invited to the next CNN debate. I'm assuming that it's this one in New Hampshire in a month.

More important, though, is the fact that Gravel has removed the link to that neo-Nazi website at his own, but kept all the text in place. This indicates that it wasn't a careless blunder to put up material from a neo-Nazi site, and he's now trying to hide (somewhat) where the material originated.

"The Destruction of Mission San Sabá in the Province of Texas and the Martyrdom of the Fathers Alonso de Terreros, Jose Santiesteban,"

The famous mural was painted in Mexico City, perhaps in 1765, about 6 years after the mission was destroyed. The painting was commissioned by Don Pedro Romero de Terreros, cousin of one of the first priests killed in the attack. Terreros had made a fortune in mining down in Mexico and put up the money to finance the Mission San Sabá. Though the artist was never in central Texas, he was advised by eyewitnesses as to the appearance of the mission and the details of the Indian attack. A careful examination reveals that the mural tells the story of the attack, including the fates of the two priests who were killed. The blue shields beside each priest contain their biographical sketches.

The priests in the mural are depicted in gruesome detail showing the manner of their death. The blue shields beside each priest contain their biographical sketches.

The Hindu religion is monotheistic polytheism, rather than simply polytheism. Each Hindu deity represents an aspect or aspects of the Supreme Being.

My personal favorite Hindu deity is Lord Ganesha, who represents success and wisdom and who is the destroyer of evils and obstacles.

Lance,

We have a cultural problem in this country and it involves some traits that are specifically identifiable and that are on display every day.
They have to be designated and identified some way.
Our own weakness and ignorance are killing us. I meet people every day who seem to revel in their inability to fight back, even while they engage in absolutely asinine displays of arrogance and boasting. Some of the most arrogant yokels I know will positively clamor to show their helplessness when confronted with what they perceive as power.
Some of these morons revere the Alamo but show the opposite spirit in all their daily dealings. They would have been proud to cross Travis's line in the sand and flee into the night.

I wonder, for example, just how much of the "political correctness" that infects every aspect of American life is really being forced on us by activist lawyers and how much is just a lame excuse for annoying people with arbitrary and irrational displays of power. "We have tooo..." they whine,"or we'll get sued." I'm calling bullshit on all of it.

It is a sickness, an ethical failure of monumental dimensions, and it is going to kill all of us. Too many of us are like Churchill's characterization of the Germans, either at your throat or at your feet.

If George Chimp Bush hadn't invaded Iraq...this would never have happened...

Furthermore, we all know that if Israel wasn't "occupying" "Palestine" the Muslims wouldn't be blowing people up in Thailand...

Lastly, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, it is very very very obvious that if we were to just surrender in Iraq...these types of attacks would automatically end.

Story of Two Houses

Look over the descriptions of the following two houses and see if you
can tell which belongs to an environmentalist:

HOUSE # 1:

A 20-room mansion (not including 8 bathrooms) heated by natural gas.
Add on a pool (and a pool house) and a separate guest house all heated by
gas. In one month alone this mansion consumes more energy than the average
American household in an entire year. The average bill for electricity and
Natural gas runs over $2,400.00 per month. In natural gas alone (which
last time we checked was a fossil fuel), this property consumes more than 20
times the national average for an American home. This house is not in a
northern or Midwestern "snow belt," either. It's in the South.

HOUSE # 2:

Designed by an architecture professor at a leading national university, this house incorporates every "green" feature current home construction can
provide. The house contains only 4,000 square feet (4 bedrooms) and is
nestled on arid high prairie in the American southwest. A central closet
in the house holds geothermal heat pumps drawing ground water through pipes sunk 300 feet into the ground. The water (usually 67 degrees F.) heats the house in winter and cools it in summer. The system uses no fossil fuels
such as oil or natural gas, and it consumes 25% of the electricity required for
a conventional heating/cooling system. Rainwater from the roof is collected
and funneled into a 25,000 gallon underground cistern. Wastewater from
showers, sinks and toilets goes into underground purifying tanks and then
into the cistern. The collected water then irrigates the land surrounding
the house. Flowers and shrubs native to the area blend the property into
the surrounding rural landscape.

. . . .

HOUSE # 1 (20 room energy guzzling mansion) is outside of Nashville,
Tennessee. It is the abode of that renowned environmentalist (and
filmmaker) Al Gore.

HOUSE # 2 (model eco-friendly house) is on a ranch near Crawford, Texas. Also known as "the Texas White House," it is the private residence of the President of the United States, George W. Bush.

My personal favorite Hindu deity is Lord Ganesha, who represents success and wisdom and who is the destroyer of evils and obstacles.

Once upon a time, a couple of years ago, when I had extra money and spare time, I looked into learning to fly gliders. Half-jokingly I asked a Hindu friend which god would be best to put on the dash in the glider, and the answer was Ganesh. My friend comes from a family of engineers, and that's their aspect of choice. There's an altar for him downstairs, and now that I think about it, many of the decorations in their home had elephant motifs.

Ahmed Tharwat: Where's the threat in washing one's feet?

Let's consider this assault on Western values and North American culture by Muslim personal hygiene. To understand the topic, Kersten really needs to understand the importance of the washing rituals, which may have something to do with praying (in Arabic this is called wudu) or not. Some Muslims may complain about a lot of issues, but I do not think they complain nearly enough about their daily torture at public bathrooms, where you are provided condoms as an incentive for casual clean sex but are severely under-equipped for a thorough washing.

Besides lacking a low-level washing area with a drain for washing feet, there is also no bidet-like system for cleaning after using the toilet. Water is the essential element for a thorough cleaning -- toilet paper will not suffice.

You can say all you want about Muslims, but when it comes to the cultural issues of washing and personal hygiene, we are very meticulous. Without going into detail -- we like to keep our private parts private -- Muslims usually try to avoid public bathrooms. Muslim students at a college will, however, spend many hours on the campus and have to make do with the facilities available to them. "Being clean is half of religion," the prophet Mohammed said

Well Hindus also have one God, We call in "ParamBrahm" or "OM" in Vedic Spritual rituals ...

you will find it in all vedic religions.. including Budhism, Sikhism and so on..

so 1st point, who is Hindu? the word Hindu orignated from same roots Sindu, so anyone from indian subcontinent is Hindu,

with time, thing changed.. so do the identity.. but basic fabric of Indian vedic society remained same... which we today say Hindus.

Theory :
Parambrahm is unexplaneable & beyond limits.. like this universe, thats where the concept of hindu universe originated. and the whole depriciation in pictorial form is available at many places in Hinduism...

anyways as human want to define everything, so it tried to define god...

here comes shiva and shakti in role. Shakti(sanskrit) means energy & shiva(sanskrit) means particle. and they are interchangeable according to Ardhnariishwar.

then from shiva cames Vishnu, this is when you remove the poisonous part of Shiva... this can simply be said as living stock. and here is a concept of incarnation... thats why you have Vishnu mainly as incarnation.. but incarnation of shiva is also there... need to go deep.. so skipping this here...

Brahma is the 3rd from hindu trinity... it can be explained as holy soul or so in Christanity...

Todays Hindu :

Basically todays Hinduism consists of many groups, predominantly Vaishnavs, and Shivangs...

Sikh moved out a bit after 1984 anti-sikh riots from "Peaceful Gandhians & there Muslim brothers"...

anyways what can't be obtained from Propoganda... A lawyer can be shown as Apostel of Peace...

but lets move further,.. as the day things will expose, Gandhians will get the best reply from the supreme..

so now your Questions.. is it free for us too choose God idols ?

I hav to say, yes

how we choose them ?

Basically idols of god in us is a symbolic representation of certain virtue of God. even not only God, people even consider clothings too..

so when you see shiva, like here.. then you learn from every part of him... for example, this picture says...
>> how powerful you are.. always be polite and simple.(sitting on tiger skin)
>>snakes, and poison in throat says... you have hate and cruelty around you, never take it to your heart, just hold it to your throat.
>>then you have meditation, which says to analyze everything deeply.
>> Ganges is a symbol of wisdom... so decision should be with proper analysis and wisdom.

and so on... for every god there are such representation, and people choose the idol to worship, so they can learn from the symbol... anyways there are Hindus too.. who don't follow idol worship.. like Aryasamaj and Sikh.

My Mom is from Aryasamaj and my father is from Vaishnav... so there exist a pure understanding to in between them...

anyways, we also have stories to pass the information further... perhaps thats why the culture survives under Islam for 1000 yrs.. when things were banned to be teach...

My apologies to Jitney then. (That's a new one on me).

I suppose I have a prejudice about the lower middle class, who often have household incomes in the 6 figure range but who lack serious education and are only far enough removed from humble origins to have forgotten some working class virtues.
These are skilled workers, and often hard-working to a fault, but many of them do not seem to really respect the work ethic or, in fact, anything other than a paycheck or a bank balance. They are the world's worst about bragging about how much they make, including such backhanded complaints as feeling sorry for our "low-payed teachers."
I mentioned the office types and skilled hourly workers (like 30 or 40 bucks an hour), conservative voters all, who privately admitted they thought John Kerry's "botched joke" was really true. "Let's face it, most of them are never going to be millionaires." This only proves that they don't know many soldiers or millionaires.

The worst, by far, is all the belly-aching about "lazy welfare bums" combined with abject comtempt for low wage workers.

I see this a lot from my students (I still teach a couple of college courses). The ones who work at McDonald's or Wal-Mart often seem to be ashamed of their jobs simply because it is so common for their peers to disparage any kind of honest but low-paid employment. You can't have it both ways, if you shame people for working their asses off for a small wage, you can't blame them if they take the same amount in welfare and do whatever the hell they like.

When I was in college, I worked as a lube man at a car dealership, among many other things. One day, I ran across a high-school classmate, pure lower middle-class all the way. He sneered, "I thought you were a national merit scholar or something." I said that was correct and he just smirked at my greasy uniform.
And what did Mr. Scrupulously Class-concious do for a living? He was assistant manager of a grocery store. To him, and to people like him, there is a major distinction of status between a grease monkey and a veggie stacker. To me, especially at this point in my life, the distinction is almost invisible.

I own a business now, a good one. I make it very clear that I have no patience at all with people who do not respect honest work. If one of our salespeople or supervisors decided to amuse himself by insulting a hotel clerk or a fast-food employee, and I saw it, that person would find himself in the unemployment line. I haven't had to do this yet, perhaps because my attitude about it is so clear.

Just like the Thais ("Thai" means free) who were the only southeast Asian country to never be colonised because of their ability to fight, the warrior cast (Kshatriya) of India, manifesting as Sikhs, were the main force in ejecting mughal rule of India, which lasted several hundred (brutal, Aurangzeb...) years, the remainder of which is Pakistan ("Pak" means "pure" as in purely islamic).

A great shame that Lahore, which was the capital of the Sikh movement, is now part of Pakistan, and not too many Sikhs remain in Pakistan (gee, wonder why?).

Charles, I am enough of a geek to expect you to have macros to automate frequent tasks. It depresses me to think that by now, you probably just have to do Ctrl-Alt-R or something like that to pop up a template to begin a post with the title "Religion of Peace Strikes Again In ___", just waiting for you to fill in the country name, most likely out of a drop-down list.

On Muslim violence in Thailand and around the world:

Islam has a huge part of its PURPOSE being making humankind aware of the Coming of the Mahdi, (the Amit-Abbut of Buddhist prophecies), the One Holy Teacher preceded by the Holy One Like Unto the Son of Man.

He has hundreds of prophecies and prophetic traditions, but Islam is the LAST of the "He WILL come!" revelations.

When He CAME, May 23rd in the Year 1260 AH (1844CE) He brought the outpouring of God's Knowledge and Love for all humans, and in return, the Muslim clergy brutally scourged Him, imprisoned Him and killed Him (although they had to use TWO regiments of riflemen, because the first regiment of 750, Christian Armenians, miraculously MISSED at point-blank range!).

Now that He HAS come, in human form that every eye could see while He was here, His Teachings have JUDGED Muslims and all humankind: those who turn TOWARD justice, compassion, reason, equality of men & women, one-ness of all humanity, the rational soul and each human's obligation to develop it; AND

Muslims and others who turn AWAY from Him, dip their hands in blood, strap on death, and scream hellish imprecations in the name of God!

Islam no longer has any God-given authority. Muslims have a God-given right to turn TOWARD Baha'u'llah, the Glory of God, and embrace His message of compassion, obedience to GOD (not clergy!) and the joy of humor in a righteous life, in THIS Day!

Baha'i Faith... Army of Light!

Is it not possible that the slaughter of their neighbors has the purpose of driving the Buddhists away, out of fear? Isn't this what ethnic cleansing is all about?

The definition of being insurgent is rising up against established authority, and an insurgent is one engaged in such activity of rising up against established authority.

But the targets of these terrorists are their neighbors who are of a different religious belief. Not the authorities.

So the MSM are being dishonest in calling these terrorists insurgents. The terrorists are carrying out religious ethnic-cleansing -- that is, murdering those of a different religion in order to chase them away from their homes.

These are jihadi terrorists doing religious-cleansing murders.

What is wrong with the MSM that they are unable to write the obvious truth?
