Islamic group told to 'read the Koran'

Thailand's prime minister angrily told the Saudi Arabia-based Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC) to "read the Koran" before criticizing his crackdown on Muslim terrorists in the south, where more than 1,000 people have died. "I would like him to read the Koran, which stated clearly that all Muslims, regardless where they live, must respect the law of that land," Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra said yesterday, in remarks aimed at OIC Secretary-General Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu.

This plea for rationality will unfortunately fall on deag ears. Thailand's Buddhist PM is only partially correct in his analysis of the Koranic attitude towards him, hos non-Islamic countrymen (and us for that matter!).

Yes, those cited passages are there, but in Islamic belief, later "revealed" passages of the Koran SUPERCEDE earlier passages altogether. Amond the later passages are the 9th Sura, which includes this little gem:

[9.5] So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush, then if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to them; surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

In other words, kill the infidels - Buddhists (considered idolaters) need not apply even for dhimmitude (abject submission to Islamic rule, allowed for non-converted Christians and Jews) - they can convert or die! Remember the Taliban dynamiting the Buddhist statues in Afghanistan?

Meanwhile, the moonbats continue THEIR litany that if only we would throw Israel over the side, and withdraw all signs of our existance from the middle east, that the Islamofascist terrs would leave us alone. So then, what does Thailand have to do with either of these? Obviously, nothing. Their crime is to not be Moslem. That's enough to make them targets for conquest into dar al Salaam - the world of Islam.

The Chief's prediction: no peace in Thailand anytime soon!
