Muslim war against vehicles spreads to Thailand

AP/Houston Chronicle:

Eight bombs exploded almost simultaneously at car and motorcycle showrooms in restive southern Thailand today, wounding nine people, police said.

The blasts were believed to have been carried out by Muslim insurgents, police said.

Attackers posing as customers planted explosives inside cars or near motorcycles at Honda, Nissan, Chevrolet, Mazda, Ford and Isuzu dealerships and at two motorcycle showrooms, Yala police Lt. Col. Sakkarin Bamphensamai said.

He said without elaborating that the blasts bore the trademarks of Muslim separatists.

Police Col. Phumphet Phiphatpetchphoom said that initial reports showed that nine people were wounded.

The attacks came one day after the second visit in a week to the insurgency-wracked region by Thailand's new interim Prime Minister Surayud Chulanont.

Violence has continued despite pledges from Surayud's interim government to make peace in the south a priority and to end the iron-fisted approach of his predecessor, Thaksin Shinawatra, who was toppled by a military coup in September.

Being nice to Islamist does not make them nicer people. They think they are on a mission from God that requires them to kill everyone who disagrees with them. As in France they are also destroying cars and other vehicles as part of their hatred against modernity. The car burning cults of France have found their soul mates in Thailand where it is impossible to blame their hatred on the crusades. The problem is the intolerance and religious bigotry of the Muslim death cults.
