In addition to these reasons, I'm fond of the timeless beneficence of Buddhism and the peaceful wisdom of its adherents, and I'm saddened by the madness they are currently up against in southern Thailand. They are facing the violence and colonialism that is an essential quality of Islamic doctrine, and in the shari'ah, polytheists have no standing aside from conversion or death.

Utilizing jihad's God-given right to kill the infidel who refuses to submit and acknowledge the supremacy of Allah's religion, Islam is still the violent, expansionist politicoreligious ideology it has always been. Just look around.

Imagine, if you can, sending your kids to school in an environment where teachers must carry guns and wear body armor to protect themselves from Allah's goons.

"We have granted special rights for teachers to carry guns," deputy education minister Rung Kaewdaeng told reporters on Tuesday, adding that 2,000 teachers had already requested arms.

"They need guns. This is now a necessity as many people have survived attacks because they shot back at the attackers," Mr Rung is quoted as saying by the French news agency AFP.

They will be provided with cheap or second-hand firearms and flak jackets, he added. ...

Education Minister Adisai Bodharamik admitted that teachers there were "fearful and demoralised". ...

He said he had already directed education authorities to approve transfers for more than 2,700 teachers out of the area, to be replaced by volunteers.

Although this sends a signal to the mujahideen that their holy war is justified, it's helpful—for now—to the teachers who are just trying to make a living. The way things are looking with the Religion of Peace&trade in southern Thailand, though, it might be a good idea to arm everyone, down to the family dog.

A former regional army commander said Monday that Thai Muslim insurgents have stockpiled more than 7,000 firearms and trained with Indonesian militants to wreak violence in southern Thailand. ...

"The separatist movement has complete control of the people. Only the land belongs to us, but the people belong to the movement, 100 percent."

That's jihad. That's how it's always been. Until the government in Thailand starts to see the blood-red holy war writing on the wall, the death and mayhem for Allah will continue to increase. In the meantime, Thai Buddhists are not at all unclear about the deadly character of jihad.

BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thousands of Buddhist teachers and residents are fleeing Thailand's Muslim south as 19 months of anti-government [anti-shirk government —ed.] violence shows no sign of slackening, officials said on Tuesday. ...

...violence is unabated with 9 people beheaded -- in killings some top officials say have been inspired by Iraqi insurgents -- in recent months and officials say thousands of locally-born people, many of them Buddhists, have moved out.

Government data showed almost 15,000 people left between January 2004 and April 2005. In 2003, 22,000 moved in.

This is what happens anywhere that Islam gains a foothold. History has borne this out ever since the barbaric Muhammadan hordes exploded out of Arabia 1,400 years ago, killing, annihilating, and stealing in the name of their sociopathic deity. It hasn't changed because Islam has never changed, and the truly moderate and progressive-minded Muslims who could desperately use some American kafir help and support never get it. They only get Western apologetics for the Islamic status quo, overseen by Islamofascist front groups like the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), the Muslim American Society (MAS), and the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA).

Until free people everywhere understand that the unqualified multicultural tolerance of Islam is making things worse instead of better, Thai teachers will need to carry a gun to work, elderly Thai Buddhists will wonder if they will be the next beheading victim, and countless Muslims around the world will continue to suffer under Islam's unreformed medieval ideology. It's not the world that needs to change, it's Islam.
