Islamo-Fascist violence in Thailand...

This has been going on for some time....

Islamist militants in southern Thailand are trying to terrify Buddhist residents into fleeing, its prime minister said yesterday after a man was publicly beheaded.

The murder of Lek Pongpla, 34, in Narathiwat province was the fifth beheading in a fortnight and the first to be carried out before a witness.

Two men arrived on a motorcycle at the teashop in Cho-Ai-Rong, and one shot the victim in the back before decapitating him and putting the head into a fertiliser sack.

The men fled and the sack was later found a mile away.

"The insurgents have been beheading innocent people to show they are still capable of creating violence," said Thaksin Shinawatra, the prime minister. "They try to make people scared so they will run away from the region because they want to seize it."

I love Thailand - I've spent many a nice holiday there...I hope the Thai people have the fortitude to tackle this problem.
