BREAKING NEWS: Explosion, possibly a bomb, hits Bangkok.

I don't need evidence, it's perfectly obvious. No one else goes around blowing stuff up randomly, especially when it comes to religious buildings.

Is TSR a court of law? Or is it a forum where people post their opinions?

Are we ignoring the entirety of human history prior to (and some post) 9/11?

I was under the impression that this particular section of the forum revolves around 'debating' of current affairs. In debates you have to present an argument in the right manner, through logical consistency and factual accuracy.

It's really not that difficult to understand.

You are under the wrong impression, this is the part of the forum where people put forward arguments and childishly argue their point even when the evidence is against them.

However we have (likely) 3 possible options to choose from.

1. Political terrorists stemming from the unrest of the coup.

2. Random attack, such as the Arizona cinema shooting.

3. Islamist terrorists. Which have a presence in the South and as we can see from incidents such as Tunisia, tourist are a a preferred target of this kind of terrorist, especially "non-believers", which would be very common at a shrine.

So which door will it be?

When the evidence is against them? But you claim there is no need for evidence? Make your mind up pal.


First of all, no it wouldn't be very common at a tourist in the Capital no less seeing as the muslim insurgents in the South have only ever attacked in the South regions, they have never committed attacks outside of the south or tourist targets.

Additionally, according to the Royal Thai Amy Chief and deputy defence minister "This does not match with incidents in Southern Thailand. The type of bomb used is also not in keeping with the south.

The head of Thailand's junta himself believes that the main suspect is from an anti-government based faction based in the North East of Thailand where the Red Shirt movement is based.

Another aspect which some have pointed out is that if it was indeed linked to Muslim extremists then they would have every reason to claim responsibility due to the attacks "success".

No matter who it is, what is obvious is that it is an escalation of previous acts. It may very well have been muslim extremists as no one can no for sure yet. The point is though that clueless people shouldn't be pointing directly towards muslims with "no need for any evidence" when there are other issues at play here.

If it is ISIS, then why attack there? Hardly going to scare people in the west.

A coordinated campaign of terror started at 6pm local time on Saturday, when seven bombs were planted outside shops, supermarkets and a karaoke bar in Pattani Town, the capital of Pattani Province, one of the three southernmost provinces of Thailand with a Muslim majority population.
Bomb disposal experts defused five of the bombs. But further devices were detonated later that night and on Sunday, while a wave of arson attacks gutted shops in Pattani Town and targeted mobile phone towers, security cameras and local defence bases elsewhere in Pattani Province.
"Intelligence estimates suggest there were 50 coordinated attacks. We managed to prevent attacks in eight spots," Police Major General Ekkaphob Prasitwattanachai told local media.

Link please

You probably wouldn't accept anything other than a Jewish source.

sounds like a political move for the current government to push suspicion to their rivals. but this type of attack , attacking normal bystanders is not their standard M.O. it is rather the standard practice of islam inspired terroists

I thought Muslims were generally despised whilst anti-government was a little higher on the friendly scale.

Your analysis is poor and is based on your bias, not relevant information.

muslims are not despised ( unless you are talking about your own opinion) certainly anti government activists are deemed a more direct threat to the current governments position, rather than i suppose the average thai. the cowardly attack targetting unarmed civlians there is very islamic in its style of terrorism, because generally people influenced by islam commit attacks such as this.

islam is what causes them to no fit in well in various societies, and thailand is no exception to all the other countries round the world where islamists have taken hold in mulims communities and caused confllict. you seem to think uk is the only country with this issue - wakeup, islam been causing division since its dawn.

Yes, Paddy McGuinness was a Muslim.

You are telling me what I think? Thank you.

Paddy McGuinness the tv presenter?

i think you have reached new depths of ridicule

not really, just making it public seeing as you seem not to want to.
