"We will give Thai Buddhists three days to leave our land. Otherwise, we will kill you and burn your houses.

ESTNA PRADU, Thailand - It took two days for the young Muslim assassin to calm his nerves before the slaying.
Then, Mohama Waekaji says, he walked one cool morning to a rice mill, carrying a knife and following orders from a guerrilla commander to behead the 72-year-old Buddhist owner.
He asked the elderly man, Juan Kaewtongprakam, for some rice husks. As he turned to collect them, Waekaji says, he slashed the blade through the man’s neck.
"I didn’t dare to disobey," the 23-year-old Waekaji said in an interview with The Associated Press _ the first time a Thai militant accused of a beheading has spoken to the Western media. "I knew they would come after me if I did not do what I was told."

Twenty-five beheadings _ including 10 already this year _ have been reported in southern Thailand since an Islamic-inspired insurgency erupted in 2004, claiming more than 2,200 lives. Militants in the heavily Muslim region seek independence from mostly Buddhist Thailand.

Beheadings have been a way of dealing with Christians (Christian men, that is) found in the deserts of the Arabian peninsula for centuries.
Interesting to see the practice is catching on in Thailand.
The connection, of course, is Saudzilla's influence in spreading Wahhabism, funded by petrodollars.
Pretty much every time we buy a gallon of gasoline we ultimately line the pockets of Islamic terrorist sympathizers.
We can't stop this Islamic onslaught until we have an alternative source of fuel. But once the world has that, these mujahideen are going to be in real problems.
