Violence is never the answer, but what is the answer to this monstrocity?!

Words vs. Weapons?!

Is war the answer?

What is happening to Thailand? It feels like Thailand is getting struck from all sides.

================================================================================
=====


Nearly 100 public schools in the southernmost province of Narathiwat were closed yesterday after three teachers were brutally shot to death in Si Sakhon and Rangae districts.

Two women teachers were shot inside the library of Ban Sakoh School at about noon in front of students.


Two gunmen got off a motorbike and walked straight into the school library, where the two women were working. They fired 11mm and .357 pistols as some 100 children played in front of the library after their lunch.


Thippaporn Thassanopas, 42, and Yupha Sengwas, 26, were hit in the head, abdomen and legs. The two died instantly.


About an hour later, a male teacher was shot dead in a shop in Rangae district. So-mmai Laocharoensuk, 55, a teacher at Ban Jehke School, was hit six times by AK-47 fire in the head and body. An eyewitness said one of a group of six militants carried the rifle into the shop and opened fire on the teacher.


The murders of the three teachers prompted a reaction from nearly 100 schools in Si Sakhon, Rusoh and Rangae districts. All announced they would close indefinitely.


Colleagues of the three teachers visited hospitals to give support to the relatives.


Narathiwat Teachers' Federation president Sanguan Intarak said he had invited teachers in all 13 districts of the province to a meeting to discuss security and safety measures.


Teachers in the predominantly Muslim region have no confidence in security protection provided by the government and have asked for transfers out of the danger zone, he said.


He noted that more than 300 teachers had already submitted transfer requests.


The teachers' federation has suggested the authorities rate the risk factor in different areas and provide security measures for teachers in accordance with the risk, Sanguan said.


In high-risk areas, the authorities should provide intensive security, he added.


The government is struggling to contain the violence that has killed more than 2,000 since January 4, 2004.


Indonesian Foreign Minister Hassan Wirajuda said his government was ready to provide cooperation and exchange information on the movement of Indonesians in case any were involved in instigating or taking part in violence in the deep South.


Wirajuda was in Thailand yesterday for a meeting with Foreign Minister Nitya Pibulsonggram. He also met Prime Minister Surayud Chulanont to discuss bilateral cooperation, including the situation in the South. Thai authorities suspect that Indonesian and Cambodian Muslims might be involved in orchestrating violence in the region

They're killing their own people living in the south, so sad. When will it all end already, its been so long, since that teacher who was kidnapped and torture almost to death but to finally be rescued to rest lifeness in the hospital for 6 months before she finally dies.

Hope they rest in peace, no one deserves this, waiting for their dying day.

i'm a muslim. what makes u so hateful? being muslim is just being of the islamic faith. being muslim doesn't make u a killer. being a retarded heartless human being (as ur comment reflects) and having the kind of attitude like urs is what kills ppl.

High five nong *Ice*... I'm a little pissed that Muslims are allowed their own schools in the South. It's ridiculous that there are double standards. I think that's where they are brainwashed and then allowed to blow up and burn down Buddhist schools and massacre teachers. They are so worried that Buddhists will teach them the wrong principles, but these muslim schools don't seem to be helping.

GOSH!!
I miss THAILAND!! Can't wait to go back this summer!!!!!!

i'm sure those sentiments that you have are common in Thailand. but that's sad to have such religious intolerance as a Buddhist. from what I understand, the Buddhist faith is a very open faith and respects other faith. if you haven't the chance to study anything regarding the islamic faith, i suggest you do and you would come to see that it's a faith formed based on PEACE. and maybe there should be more interfaith events as well as more education on the Islamic faith in Thailand, so ppl can respect each other's beliefs more. It's thinking like yours (ICE), dyno, and wan, whether you personally are against Muslims or not, but that kind of thinking is what makes Muslims feel isolated and resentful and unfortunately, some take those feelings to the point of hatred and violence, which is also completely against the Islamic faith and is UNACCEPTABLE. -_-

as far as the scarf goes, that's a matter of modesty. it's too bad that it makes you feel unsafe, but when were u ever threatened by another Muslim womyn just because she had a scarf on. only the womyn would wear the scarfs out of an act of humility.

it's funny that u mention the scarved womyn scare you, it's reasons like that that Muslims need their own school. beacuse the "GOOD BUDDHIST" children out there are likely to harrass Muslims out of fear and a lack of understanding. as a minority in any place, you feel a need to create your own space where you are much safer from those who can't understand your ways. if Thailand and the many "GOOD BUDDHIST" out there in Thailand are more capable of showing an informed and open mind along with a tolerable heart, there would not be a need for a seperate school for Muslims. <_<

it's sad, because if ppl still continue to think like you, Dyno, and Wan, with such an intolerant heart and an ignorant mind, thailand will never have peace. <_< while others can strive and wish all day for nothing but PEACE in Thailand. -_-

dyno.. isnt there a buddhism school in thailand as well? so why is it that they are allowed but islamic arent? there's catholic schools too cus i sure went to one.. so why are they allowed but islamic arent? i mean i don't agree with what the radicals (not the majority) are doing with the killing and misinterpreting the koran but one group should not represent the whole. i mean if that is the case then i guess we can say that all thai people are sex fanatic and don't trust us cus we'll traffick you... it's not right huh?

it's sad that we are afraid of people who are different then us.
