Teachers in southern Thailand return to work after security is ramped up

Teachers in southern Thailand have returned to work after security was ramped up across the region.

Hundreds of schools had been closed for almost a week after a female principal was murdered.

Her death is the latest in a series of attacks blamed on separatists fighting for an Islamic state.

Christians, Muslims, and Jews can't live with other people because their religions are arrogant and intolerant of other beliefs...

It's not Islam vs the West, it's Islam vs. the West, East, North, and South.

"Buddhism is a religion". After you said that, I stopped reading.

Are your Ad hominem attacks your way of living "with other people"? Check Wikipedia and it says Buddhism is a religion. Buddhists venerate Siddhartha Gautama aka Buddha.

In Burma, Buddhists have killed Muslims. In India, Hindus have killed Muslims. In the past, Atheist dictators have actively suppressed religions and killed the religious. My point is, no one's hands are not covered in blood. Please read more history and have a nice day.

You're a fucking retard. The argument was that, historically, Christians, Muslims, and Jews kill for the sake of an ideology that is based on faith. Buddhists and Atheists do not start wars for the sake of faith. Not sure why you decided to group Hindus with Buddhists and atheists because atheism and Buddhism aren't religions, you dumb fuck. How can you miss such a fucking trivial point that even a 5 yo can't misinterpret. You're fucking dumb.

But to be honest, I highly believe most of these "jihadists" are provoked by western backed agent provocateurs, as is the case in many U.S. homegrown terrorist plots (plotted by the FBI, and then foiled by the FBI -_-

And WITHOUT A DOUBT, all Muslims would agree, Muslims are supposed to follow Islam as according to Prophet Muhammed's (Peace be upon him) example!

[Jane Doe]

Muslims (and non-Muslims!) need to learn how the Prophet Muhammed dealt with his non-Muslim neighbors. Read a biography of him for God's sake! It's unlike this. You'll unlearn many cultural notions. I know politics is hard but don't give in.

[Ou8y2k2]

Yes, because Buddhists, Hindus, and Atheists have never killed anyone...
