I read once that only 10% of muslims worldwide support violent jihad. Still, with over a billion and a half muslims, that means about 150 million are bent on death, destruction, and martyrdom. Back to sleep, America, nothing to see here.

Suspected Muslim insurgents shot and killed three laborers Monday morning in the Thai province of Songkhla, raising concern that violence may be spreading from the country's three southernmost, Muslim-dominated provinces.

The victims, all Buddhists, were on their way to work at a rubber plantation when they were ambushed by assailants who opened fire on them with shotguns and pistols, said Thammasak Wasasiri, a police colonel.
