Two bomb blasts greeted the start of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan in Buddhist-dominated Thailand on Saturday and one person was reported killed and seven were wounded.
Arab News (H/T harryjo) The holy month started ominously in the southern region, where most Thai Muslims live and where fighting has claimed thousands of lives. The car bombing started fires at shops and residences and sent black smoke wafting from a row of four-story buildings in a commercial area of Sungai Kolok in Narathiwat province.
Seven people were injured, including four who were briefly trapped on the roof of a burning building, said police Col. Maitree Chimcherd. He said rebels hid the homemade bomb in a pickup truck parked in front of a computer store.
On Thursday night, a roadside bomb killed a villager and wounded his companion while they were hunting for squirrels in the woods in Yala province, said police Col. Wichai Jaengsakul.
Still, residents of Narathiwat, Yala and Pattani provinces flocked to local markets Friday to shop for fresh and dried fruit including date palm to be consumed at dusk after the first day of fasting ends.
Elsewhere in Asia, Muslims have begun fasting, albeit at different times. While Muslims in Thailand began fasting on Friday, Malaysians, Indians, Pakistanies and Bangladeshis started on Saturday.

Those crazy mussies sure know how to have a good time. A bombing here and a beheading there – what better way to enjoy your holidays.

Ramadhan is not a holy month, but satanic month. They believed that at that time satan were tied up. But in reality, it full with anger and fear. Even in Indonesia, in some area, they (organization called Defender of Islam), force people to close their cafe to respect those who fast. They did sweeping to frightened people. That’s terrible. Is it called a religion, that do good to human? Full with hatred, anger and forcing?

The Thai buddhists should begin slaughtering the muslo-nazi apes until they get the message they’re not wanted, because if they don’t, the Buddhists will be seeing their country taken away from them — just as Afghanistan was completely taken away from them and the Hindus and their 2000 year old statues of Buddha destroyed (also by muslime apes).

Not likely. Thailand resembles an elephant head with the trunk extendining to malaysia. muslim only infest the end of the trunk where it abuts malaysia. Thailand has a martial tradition. When the French colonized Southeast Asia Cambodia was a generation or two from being divided between Thailand and Vietnam empires.

SSDD. Nothing new, just Same Sh-t, Different Day whenever muslims are involved. Keep the information flowing and one day, all of the liberal leftards, d’himmis, will say ‘islam is not the religion of peace but the cult of terror and evil’.

Bonni, most of the anti-Jihad blogs missed that the DOJ just forced the people in Tennessee to open the Murfreesboro mosque:

Pat, I knew it before most everyone else did. I chose not to post about it. I can only handle so much depressing news in one day.
SusanK says
Same here. Worse, it’s Holder that did it.

Well, this could be a good thing. Some “redneck” truck driver hauling a load of gasoline, propane, or some such potentially explosive substance could have a ‘braking failure’ on a friday afternoon that takes the truck right into the mosque…
Hopefully, the driver would have the good sense to jump out of the truck and run like hell…
