The recent burnings and beheadings of female victims in Thailand’s southern Muslim provinces marks a renewed campaign of terror by Islamic insurgent groups, according to Human Rights Watch. At least three Thai Buddhist women have been killed and mutilated by insurgents since February.
(NOTE: Muslim insurgents have been conducting this reign of terror on the Buddhists of southern Thailand for the past several years, and not just to women. SEE PHOTOS BELOW)
UCA News via TROP “Southern insurgents are killing Buddhist women and spreading terror by beheading and burning their bodies,” Brad Adams, Asia director at HRW, said in the statement.
Such attacks are carried out for two reasons, said Sunai Phasuk, a senior researcher on Thailand at HRW. Attacks involving mutilation are intended to send a message of “terror” to scare Thai Buddhists into leaving Yala, Narathiwat and Pattani provinces, or are carried out as “retaliation” for extrajudicial killings committed by Thai security forces, he said.
“Claims by separatist groups that they are retaliating against government abuses are no justification for attacks on civilians,” said Adams.
Anthony Davis, a Bangkok-based security analyst with IHS-Jane’s, said that “the primary catalyst [for these mutilation killings] appears to be the killing of the three children in Bacho,” referring to a February 3 attack allegedly committed by the army’s Taharn Pran paramilitary force that killed three ethnic Malay-Muslim brothers, ages 6 to 11, and wounded their parents in Narathiwat province’s Bacho district.
Less than 10 days later, on February 12, insurgents in Pattani province’s Yaring district shot dead Sayamol Sae Lim, 29, a female employee of Bangkok Bank, and burned her body. A message found at the scene which was addressed to army chief, Gen. Prayuth Chan-ocha, said “Dear army chief, this is not the last body after the three brothers.”
On March 14, Siriporn Srichai, a 43-year-old teacher, was shot dead while on the way to work Pattani province’s Mayo district. The attackers doused her body with gasoline and set it on fire. A leaflet stating: “This attack is in revenge for the killing of innocent people,” was found nearby.
Then, on April 2, insurgents killed a village chief from Yala province’s Bannang Sata district and two female deputy chiefs. One of the deputies, Urai Thabtong, 47, was shot and then decapitated. A leaflet left at the scene stated, “This attack is a punishment for letting Aor Sor [the Interior Ministry’s village militia] commit killings and oppression of our Malay people. Free Patanni!”
Male victims have been decapitated numerous times in the past, but this marked the first case in the past 10 years when a female victim was beheaded, said Sunai. These attacks were “calculated to shock, outrage and widen the communal divide,” said Davis. The insurgents are saying, “If you’re going outrage us, we’re going to outrage you.”
At least 5,488 people have been killed in the southern border provinces since the conflict intensified in January 2004.
Last year, the primary focus of insurgent attacks shifted from civilians to security forces and government officials, said Sunai. “But since the beginning of this year [the attacks] have shifted back to civilians.”
International humanitarian law, or the laws of war, which are applicable to the fighting in southern Thailand, prohibits attacks targeting civilians, including government officials not involved in military operations. Mutilation or other mistreatment of the dead is also outlawed.
Both insurgents and Thai security forces have been responsible for serious abuses in the southern border provinces, according to HRW.
Successive Thai governments have failed to successfully prosecute any member of their security forces or pro-government militias for human rights violations, including extrajudicial killings, torture, and enforced disappearances. This lack of justice has fed insurgent violence against civilians, said HRW.
The extensive powers and near-blanket immunity provided to security forces who commit human rights violations has generated anger and alienation in the ethnic Malay Muslim community, said HRW.
“People in southern Thailand are trapped between insurgent violence and state-sponsored abuses,” Adams said. “The government should understand that shielding abusive troops from prosecution strengthens hardliners in separatist groups, who then intensify atrocities against civilians.”
Evil teachings started by a single man who calls himself nabi / rasul. All mankind must unite to expose this evil teachings masquerading as god’s teachings. Pure evil.
It needs to be mandatory that every politician watch and view these photos and videos and then decide what they are going to do to end it
Muslims plot and plan in their “holy places,” the mosques, to infiltrate, subvert and destroy every other culture, national government, and religious group, and then when the victims and targets retaliate, the Muslims cry “foul” and seek punitive action by the international community to make it so that Muslim Islamofascism will increase and dominate the country they are in. Islamofascists force themselves into positions of power in the countries where they seek to dominate totally. This will eventuate into mass bloodbaths the likes of which the world has not seen since the Nazi era. The gradualist approach has conned the world into believing what it wants to believe: That the Muslims are peaceful and gentle. In reality they come as wolves in sheeps’ clothing, and we have been warned of this. We should not allow ourselves to have the wool pulled over our eyes in such weighty matters.
Could not agree with you more. Yes, a wolf in sheep clothing.
Depraved, possessed by the devil, mentally ill, rabid, you have to eliminate those vicious disgusting men, the Islamofascists. It has to be at least a complete, 100 percent roundup of all the active Islamofascists. These things cannot be tolerated in a free country. If such things cannot be rehabilitated, then so sorry.
rohaidee you can try your taqiyya elsewhere because it wont work here,we,ve all read mohammeds peaceful teachings whilst he was weak in Mecca,then the Medina revelations came out when he had an army behind him,surah 3.22 he who kills a man is like killing all of mankind,nice verse plagaurised from the talmud,3.23 murder those that commit mischief against allah and the prophet,or words to that effect,,so here we have it surah 2.106 earlier surahs are superseeded by latter ones,good day
WTF
I am outraged after seeing photos of these massacres. There have been nearly twice as many people killed here since 2004 than the September 11 New York attack on the Twin Towers. The worlds media and Western politicians have ignored these Islamic terrorists. Political Correctness has gone crazy. What cowards they are, those that commit acts of terrorism against the Thai Buddhist people ( in the name of Islam ) and the media for not reporting the truth.
Remember what I said about having to kill Men Women and Children?
What about the killing of Muslim civilians in Burma by hindu people?
Allan, payback’s a bitch, isn’t it? You have to be pretty bad to get Buddhists that enraged to start killing you.
Here, educate yourself: http://www.barenakedislam.com/?s=%22Myanmar%22&submit=Search
People have called me a racist because I have warned them of these fanatics. Well, look around you! These Fanatics are killing everyone – White, Black, Asian, Semitic, Native America, South East Asian (etc). If you do not bow to the ideology (and that’s what it is at the end of the day) you must die (according to the religious part), and they believe it wholeheartedly.
For the record I am not a racist and never have been one.
Right on Jess; and pislam is STILL NOT a race!……….
No Islam is a Mind set, Their Koran says to kill, behead, mutilate the Non Believers! Get your concealed permit and carry 24/7 If I see a bearded man in a man dress I will assume he has a big knife under the Dress! And I will fear for my life if he approaches me after I tell him to stop. I want to see him go for a knife, then I can legally Shoot. Thats the law! My gun has never hurt anyone but If I am in fear of my life, I will empty the gun and another magazine will be in the gun before the empty clip hits the ground. Practice Practice!
How can a civilized person or country ever ever ever support these nasty, uncivilized, blood-thirsty, bottom dwellers?
I understand Obama’s support since he is one of them, but Cameron and the rest of Europe…what the H are they thinking? The slime is going to take them over and we will all pay the consequences.
Like Hell their going to take over! I will fight to my last dying breath before Capitulating to these Islamic Morlocks. The call of the Australian Defence League is NO SURRENDER EVER! and that means FOREVER.
I love you
I’m with you..
They, the filthy stinking SAVAGE moslem —-s are ALL going down in due time at Armageddon, right along with their “mahdi”, a.k.a The Antichrist, Beast, Son of Perdition……They will ALL land in the ETERNAL HELLFIRE the filthy murderous sonsofbitches SAY is reserved for us infidels!….ALL ARSELIFTERS GO TO HELL….hmm, that sounds like a good movie title!…..An excellent title for the theme song as well!..
Dude, Imam Mahdi will fight against the Anti-Chriist which is called (Dajjal). Please get your facts right.
My comments will most probably overflow by other comments, but will just stick this up, Its never the muslim teachings to kill but only to love. But Somehow these are extremist who are sick in their mind, somehow develop a nonsense understanding and put a stamp “islam act” which there never was.
Its probably also a waste of time writing here as the author of this webpage probably is fully bias is their reports.
This report is about a bad human being and not a bad religion. If you realise, this conflict is got to do with politics and not religion war.
Just because a muslim/christian/buddhist or any other religion act harshly does not mean that the religion is condemn.
Peace be upon everyone in this page.
Dee
Dee, we have read the quran, hadith, sunna, and they are filled with calls for violence against unbelievers. The good Muslims must be the violent ones because they are better at following the teachings of Islam more. The problem IS Islam and that is why the real peaceful muslims want Islam totally reformed, for which they are called apostates by people like you.
Save your fake wishes for peace for people who might be dumb enough to believe what you say.
I am another mad Australian..
Muslims OUT of my Country y.. NOW.
And I will be proud to join you. good day eh?
This is what the muslims do daily, in end of the day they play the victim card!!!!
They scream that Central Africans, that kill them!!! …what more can we do we those parasites!!!!
I’ve said it once and I will say it again, outside of the middle east the only peoples that are killing them are the Africans. Again, YOU CANNOT DEBATE WITH FANATICS, RELIGIOUS OR IDEOLOGICAL IT DOES NOT MATTER.
I do not condone murder, but, when you’re dealing with fanatics it is the only way because they have no problem with murder whatsoever.
Muslims are Satanic!!
yes they are and the little girl in the bottom photo was probably raped before she was killed judging by the tethers around one wrist and ankle
You know these Muzzies must be really, REALLY bad if they can provoke the peaceful, pacifist Buddhists to now start killing them. Ever noticed that every non-muslim human culture/demographic on Earth (besides Englandistanis) who spends time around Islam ends up wanting to kill them? What does that tell you about Islamohorses’asses when they manage to bring out homicidal impulses in every different type of non-inbred human being who spends a lot of time around the most antagonistic cult/culture in the history of mankind?
The West is used to debate, to democracy, that’s why. Most of our “fanatics” tend to be young teenagers and they just use drugs and vandalize –most of the time.
We forgot that mature religious and ideological fanatics still exist. Stalin and Hitler were Ideological fanatics, we see the hell they brought down on others — well religious fanatics are the same, the answer? Kill them before they kill everyone else.
Years later everyone knows that the world would have been much better off if someone would have offed Lenin, Stalin and Hitler.
I wonder what the history will read like when I am an old Woman.
Exactly. It is the most peaceful religion on earth. They can’t kill even an insect. It breaks my heart to see these terrible photos. I’d like to know what the government is doing about it.
