Muslims Target Buddhists

(Bangkok, Thailand) I believe the following report is evidence that Islamic fundamentalists hate just about everyone who isn't a Muslim. In parts of Thailand, the terrorist bombs and bullets are directed at Buddhists.

From TheStar.com.my:
Suspected Islamic insurgents shot and killed five people Monday in scattered violence across one of Thailand's troubled southern provinces, police said.

A group of about 10 attackers armed with assault rifles opened fire on two houses inhabited by Buddhist families, killing three people before setting fire to their homes in Manangyong village in Pattani province, said police Maj. Gen. Kokiart Wongworachart.

The victims were among the six Buddhist families living in the Muslim majority in Manangyong village, after a half dozen other Buddhist families moved out earlier this year.

"The attackers were apparently targeting the Buddhist families," Kokiart said.
Over 1,300 people have been killed in the past two years in the Muslim-dominated southern provinces of Thailand. The government blames the violence on Muslim separatists.
