(CHAKRA) In Thailand’s restive south, eight Buddhists have been killed by Muslim militants, according to police reports.

Police Lieutenant General, Kong-att Suwannakham says insurgents detonated a homemade bomb in a football field in the province of Pattani which resulted in four policemen being killed and another dozen being wounded. They had all just met at the field to play a friendly game of football knowing little that their lives were at stake in a few minutes time.

In the province of Yala, police say that insurgents set off a roadside bomb and shot at an army patrol, killing three soldiers and wounding two. Additionally two men on bicycles, fatally shot at a formal local official in his pick up truck, in the province of Narathiwat.

In Thailand’s three Muslim-dominated provinces, more than 4,300 people have been killed in the predominantly Buddhist regions. These killings have all happened since the Islamist insurgency erupted in the country in 2004

    Tragic story.

    Also tragic is that the Thai Insurgency (Jihad) and those 4,300 dead are all but forgotten by the Western media.
    We get little to no coverage of this in this part of the world.

    Buddhists are easy attack as they seldom will retaliate. IT’s about time this changed. Dharmic faiths need to work together and help each other defend against jihadists, evangelists and missionaries who’s only aim is to wipeout Dharma.
