In a previous Winds of War report, we noted that Thailand has one of the world's worst terrorism problems: over 600 deaths in less than two years as a result of Islamofascist terrorism. Focus by the media? Hard to find, except for scattered articles in places like TIME Asia (Nov. 29/04: Buddhists Under Siege). Faithful Winds of War readers will have followed our continuing coverage, but I thought it was time to up the profile a bit.

Anyway, we have more beheadings and murders by Muslim terrorists there... and of course, the Associated Press won't call them that. Their moral cowardice surpasseth all understanding. Or decency.

UPDATE: A recent news report puts the figure over 720. This is a casualty counter worth paying attention to. Note esp. this passage: "I don't see a motive such as personal conflict. He was mute and his wife was also mute, so it's just part of the campaign of unrest," police Lieutenant Colonel Sakarin Bumpensamai of Bannang Sata told AFP. These people are evil. Call them by their name.
