Another Example of Islamic Fascism

As I've said many times before, every single time Muslims become the predominate religion in a region, they impose their values and customs on others. They are taking over the world one neighborhood at a time. Here's the latest example. Although Thailand is predominately Buddhist, three southern provinces are dominated by Muslims. And the bloodshed has begun.

BANGKOK, July 25 (Reuters) - Muslim militants have ordered people in the rubber-producing southern Thai province of Narathiwat to observe the Islamic holy day as a day of prayer, not work, officials and local people said on Monday. "Islamic militants have told people not to engage in any trading activity on Fridays. They have threatened villagers verbally," Narathiwat Governor Pracha Taerat told Reuters. The order was issued in a leaflet distributed on Friday, said local people in the relatively impoverished province, where 80 percent of the 800,000 population rely on the rubber business. "There is a threat prohibiting us from any trading activity on Fridays and we must go pray instead," said rubber farmer Uthai Kosiyaporn. "People said the threat had come in the form of a leaflet. I did not see it myself, but I'm not going to do anything against the order," Uthai told Reuters from Narathiwat province. Narathiwat, along with neighbouring Muslim majority provinces Yala and Pattani afflicted by 19 months of violence in which more than 800 people have been killed, normally produce around 600,000 tonnes of natural rubber a year. That is about 20 percent of the output of predominantly Buddhist Thailand, the world's biggest producer of natural rubber. Officials fear the violence in a region annexed by Bangkok a century ago will cut national production by 6 percent this year. "I have no idea who did this, but it was like magic. Everybody seems to be obeying," said 51-year-old Yarn Rattananiyom, another rubber farmer. "Definitely, I will not go out tapping on Fridays no matter how good rubber prices are," he said. "What concerns me most, though, is what is going to happen to the economy here," Yarn said.
