Police said Mama worked as a police informant.In Southern Thailand, there have been 5,000 Buddhist citizens murdered by Islamic idiots since 2004. In peaceful Thailand, this is an incredibly outrageous and ignorant calamity. Relative to the Thai population, it is similar to the total US fatalities in the Vietnam war. The violence is supposedly to promote a regional separation from Thailand or possibly to join Malaysia (Malaysia doesn't want them).
As in all other parts of the Muslim world, this violence continues because no citizen informs the authorities of sons, friends, brothers or cousins that are making bombs, buying grenades, hiding guns and plotting attacks. These people are criminals plain and simple.
Because no citizen stands up for what is right, the entire community is complicit in the violence!
It's not just the "radical element" like the "politically correct" would like you to believe. The violence is supported by Muslim scripture, teachings and many religious leaders everywhere and tolerated by the entire Muslim community.
