Unlikely: Muslims Beheaded by Buddhist Extremists

Oh, wait, did we say Muslims beheaded by Buddhists? Now that would be news.

More faithful followers of Islam following the example of Muhammed who presided over the murder of 700 Jews who had surrendered to him. How did he murder them? Beheaded them. All of them.

Reuters:

An ice cream vendor was killed and his headless body left sitting on the bicycle seat of his cart in Thailand's rebellious Muslim south on Thursday, police said.

The vendor, a 45-year-old Buddhist originally from the country's north east, was shot three times in the back of his head while riding his cart into a Muslim village in Pattani, one of the three provinces hit by the violence, police said.

"They chopped his head off and walked away with it, leaving his body sitting on the ice cream bike's seat," a Pattani policeman told Reuters by telephone.

Are we seeing a common theme here? Of course most Muslims don't support such barbarity, but the ones that do claim no less of a source of inspiration than Mohammed himself.
