And who are these “assailants?” Are they Methodists? Lone gunmen with histories of mental illness? Space aliens? Freedom fighters resisting occupation?
BANGKOK, Thailand - Assailants carried out at least 40 bomb and arson attacks Tuesday night in Thailand’s three Muslim-dominated southernmost provinces, police said. At least three people were reported hurt.
The attacks are the latest in a series believed to have been carried out by Muslim separatists, regional deputy police chief Maj. Woraphong Siewpricha said. Thai media said government installations were the targets.
More than 1,500 people have been killed in sectarian violence since a resurgence in January 2004 of a violent Islamic separatist movement in Yala, Pattani and Narathiwat, the only provinces with Muslim majorities in Buddhist-dominated Thailand.

Six, you racist neocon ideolog. These poor, "dispossesed" people are no worse than Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell. What they have done is no worse than killing one abortion clinic employee every 5 years. Or trampling comrads to death in a frenzy of demands for the execution of anybody who said something irreverent about Jesus, which christians in the US do.
Yeah, right.
