In the comments of this post from last week on the slaughter going virtually unreported in Thailand;
I am an expat Canuck living in Thailand. The death toll is more like 800 in a year and a half. Plus about 250 islamaholics.
I had a “friend” in Vancouver actually become angry when I told them about this saying “it’s not true, if it was true it would be on the news”
Well it’s on the news here, every night.
They kill monks, teachers, students, tree sappers, ANYONE who’s Buddhist, or not Islamic enough for them.
But according to the BBC it’s ALL the Thai Government’s fault for being “heavy handed” in it’s response.
Just a suggestion to our friends in media who may be surfing through as we await the first sensational photos of Canada’s Schoolgirl Killer[tm] on her scheduled release from prison.
Get your heads out of your collective ass.
Karla Homolka is only newsworthy because you decided to make her so. Perhaps it’s laziness or budget constraints. Perhaps it’s because you’re genuinely ignorant of the numbers of equally cold and vicious offenders who are released without fanfare every year.
Or, most probably – perhaps it’s because you have her wedding videos and lots and lots of made-for-tv footage of her flipping her golden locks.
Whatever it is, I don’t care. Karla Homolka is not important.
This is.
Islam: “Religion of Peace”
3 Buddhists shot dead, teachers’ homes attacked in Thai south
Assuming, by “peace” you mean “kill anyone who isn’t Islamic–or Islamic enough”.
Need evidence?
Thank you Kate for what you write. You seem to see things that many cannot or will not see. I really don’t know which. Maybe they’re too comfortable and don’t have the time to notice.
As for the article, I wrote five years ago that we will be witness to many millions dying before our eyes soon, probably on CNN. I just hope it isn’t the Americans, Brits or a few allies who have, once again, taken up the good fight. Because if it’s them then we won’t be far behind.
In WWII we beat the Americans into the War. If it hadn’t been for the Canadians Britain would have fallen. WWIII was the cold war. This is World War Four and Canada is nowhere in site. I see nothing to celebrate in Canada Day this year.
There she is every time you flip on the news or pick up a paper. What she did was horrid, but do they not realise she’s a sicko who thrives on this kind of attention?
If she was ugly, the media would not be on this.
Must admit to not fully understanding how hundreds of media people [ I will not honour them with the name *Press*], can swarm about stories like Homolka and Jackson and not admit to being slackers.
Real press are looking into and reporting the more difficult and worthy stories.
Editors seem to give the fluff stories too much space and time. I am at a loss as to how publishers can hold our respect.
No doubt polls have suggested that readership increases when fluff stories in the style of National Enquirer and police Gazette are given front page position.
Polls are a curse in my opinion. Usually the results are presented without the question and the preamble before the question. Without that, poll results are worthless.
Not much in the news about our new early warning system being set further North and run exclusively by the USA. Our old Norad line is mostly obsolete.
Not much in the news about how forty unmanned surveillance aircraft will suppy twenty times the valued security information at a fraction of currently manned planes.
Not much in the news about the affect one blast damaged refinery will have on the Canadian economy and the massive unemployment it will cause.
Not much in the news about why alternate fuel networks are not coming on line to offset the economy melt down a major petrolium refinery bottleneck will certainly cause.
Not much in the news about what elements Bill C-11 must have added in order to save us from hundreds of millions of diverted and laundered tax dollars in the future. http://www.nswbc.org So much for today’s news reporting. 73s TG
Homolka is moderately important in that, as the mother of a soon-to-be-teenaged girl, I want to know if she moves in next door, and for that I ideally need to know what she looks like. The media are acting like idiots, particularly ctv with them complaining to the prison because some new recruits played a prank on them.
She was probably transferred to a different prison and let out on Friday. They are idiots. But we knew that.
As for why we aren’t hearing about Thailand and everything else? Because most people don’t give a damn. I was almost ‘voted off the island’ today because I actually think that INTELLIGENT aid to Africa and other nations is important. If it isn’t in our backyard, it doesn’t matter appears to be the order of the day.
Kate:
I just returned from Thailand, and while the government and people of the country are trying to put on a brave front after the tsunami, there is a fear of debilitating muslim seperatist attacks in the south could destroy an already deteriorating economy.
On friday, a police officer was shot in the head, and two others died in a driveby shooting in Pattani, southern Thailand.
So far, the violence has been confined to the muslim areas in the south, but there is a fear that the tourist islands, like Koh Samui, Koh Tao and Koh Pha Ngan, could be the targets of terrorists. Phuket, Phi Phi and Krabi are also obvious targets.
Yes, absolutely. Agree with Patrick above.
I worked in Bangkok for a year and still manage to make it back there from China once every couple of months.
Despite the figures provided by the expat Canuck, which I also agree with from what I’ve seen and read, the murders of Buddhists has so far been restricted to the three southern-most provinces of Thailand next to the Malay border, all majority muslim.
Murders are reported daily BUT the big fear, as Patrick says, is that the muslim terrorists fighting for an independent muslim republic will follow the tactics of the IRA, Basques and Chetchens and take their campaign of killing and bombing to the northern Thai cities and the tourist spots.
If (when?) this happens I fear that the Thai police, army and even population at large will be wholly unprepared. God forbid if ever happens.

Ireland visit a real walk in the park
There may be some tough climbing ahead, but Prime Minister Paul Martin’s visit to Ireland has quite literally been a walk in the park so far.

If I remember correctly the countries that said they would vote for George Bush for president had either been freed from communism…i.e. Poland or faced significant islamofacist conflict, india and others in Southeast asia.
This isnt anti muslim. Al Queda and their ilk are to Islam what the Spainish Inqusition was to Christianity….or the KKK for that matter.
I am still amazed that the “left” still makes excuses for these guys. People who would persecute them the most, anti socialist, anti womens rights, anti gay….in their pecking order you are at least salvageable if you are “of the book” (christian or jewish) atheiests or any non abrahamic religon are the first to go under the knife.
But make no mistake these people are driving an agenda and that involves an evangelical conversion of everyone else to their worldview. This is worth opposing…no different than opposing communism, as both hold intolerant fixed views on what humanity needs to be molded into. Freedom is something that means freedom to believe only what they believe and act in their proscribed way. We have seen this before in many other forms. Lets not mistake it for something more benign.
To back up the comments a little further…here is a money quote from the attached article
“Following al-Qa’eda’s seizure of the main buildings a number of residents fled. Arkan Salim, 56, who left with his wife and four children, said: “We thought they were patriotic. Now we discovered that they are sick and crazy.
“They interfered in everything, even how we raise our children. They turned the city into hell, and we cannot live in it anymore.”

we thought they were patriotic…..we have seen this before.
Let’s walk and chew gum at the same time.
People should know what’s going on in Thailand.
People should know how the IRA is a drug-and-“protection” racket, armed by Ghaddafi and the Soviets and funded mostly by stupid Irish- Americans.
But Karla Teal (Homolka) is news, because of things bigger than her.
The reason people (esp. Ontarians, I guess) are so outraged is because many of them were suckered in by the Ontario NDP government who promoted the idea that she was “a victim.”
And I’m glad she’s news, so that people can see (in their Daily Fish-wrap) the Lesbian Love Shack / Hi-Tech Holiday Camp she’s been living in in Joliette. (Compare to the shoebox grey cell that Bernardo is, thankfully, rotting away in 23 hours a day).
If the Libranos every free their hostages, will Ulf be there for us?

Monday July 04, 2005 By BETH DUFF-BROWN Associated Press Writer TORONTO (AP) Though many view Canada as an unassuming neutral nation that has skirted terrorist attacks, it has suffered its share of aggression, and intelligence officials believe at least 50 terror groups now have some presence here. They are from Sri Lanka, Kurdistan and points between and include supporters of some of the best-known Mideast groups, including al-Qaida, authorities say. Osama bin Laden named Canada one of five so-called Christian nations that should be targeted for acts of terror. The others, reaffirmed last year by his al-Qaida network, were the..

“I am still amazed that the “left” still makes excuses for these guys.” Steph
Steph,
It’s much worse than just making excuses. The radical left is in fact on the other side of this war. Read the article to which I link (in Frontpage Magazine) where David Lazare, a writer for The Nation magazine, exposes himself as a supporter of Islamofascism.
http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=18633
America has won the war in Iraq. So long as they do not pull out prematurely the only question is how many morons will blow themselves up before it sinks in that Iraq isn’t going back to hell.
The American victory is unacceptabe to the left (everywhere) who are determined to somehow manufacture a defeat by demeaning the mission and the soldiers who are giving the Iraqis the opportunity to seize what we take for granted. Conservatives need to confront the Democrats about where they stand. Many, like Kennedy (who’s brain is a quagmire) have chosen rank partisanship over patiotism and, in the long term, the security of their country.
I still haven’t figured out for sure why the left is on the bad guys’ side. All I can say about it for now is that they have been taught to hate anyone who is not leftist. They don’t understand why. Just like the jihadists who are indoctrinated often beginning in infancy. We’ve seen the image of the baby in the bomb belt and similar.
Evildoers and leftist elites alike understand that the human brain is programmable and take advantage of this fact to achieve their objectives.
OT
Get out your hankies 🙁
– The federal Liberals were the big losers under new party financing rules last year, as their private-sector fundraising dropped to less than half the total of the rival Conservatives.
Good thing that they have developed an alternative funding program.
“I still haven’t figured out for sure why the left is on the bad guys’ side.”
I still haven’t figured out why the left is. Period.
Well, Brian M., the left is because good (the “right”) cannot exist without evil (the “left”). At least historically thus far.
