Incredible...I can't believe that they, they being extremists, would do this.
I guess this goes to show that Islamic radicals are all over...
Yeah well it figures that the pussies would attack people that won't fight back...easy targets.
that is disgusting they are willing to kill people devoted to not harming anyone or thing.
but oh man i feel sorry for those extremists. i hope this starts the buddhist martial arts training back to what it was. Next time these terrorists are around the monks will unleash.
monks are devoted to non violence but will at any cost protect their monastary and in some cases their country.
this is a story of chinese buddhist monks which are not exactly the same as thai monks but you still get the point

Shaolin Kung Fu versus the Pirates
In the 1540s and 1550s, pirates known as wokou raided China's eastern and southeastern coasts at an unprecedented scale. The geographer Zheng Ruoceng provides the most detailed of the 16th century sources which confirm that, in 1553, Wan Biao, Vice Commissioner in Chief of the Nanjing Chief Military Commission, initiated the conscription of monks—including some from Shaolin—against the pirates.[14]
Warrior monks participated in at least four battles: at the Gulf of Hangzhou in spring of 1553 and in the Huangpu River delta at Wengjiagang in July 1553, Majiabang in spring of 1554, and Taozhai in autumn of 1555.[15]
The monks suffered their greatest defeat at Taozhai, where four of them fell in battle; their remains were buried under the Stûpa of the Four Heroic Monks (Si yi seng ta) at Mount She near Shanghai.[16]
The monks won their greatest victory at Wengjiagang.[17] On 21 July 1553, 120 warrior monks led by the Shaolin monk Tianyuan defeated a group of pirates and chased the survivors over ten days and twenty miles.[18] The pirates suffered over one hundred casualties and the monks, only four.[19]
Not all of the monks who fought at Wengjiagang were from Shaolin, and rivalries developed among them. Zheng chronicles Tianyuan’s defeat of eight rival monks from Hangzhou who challenged his command.
Zheng ranked Shaolin first of the top three Buddhist centers of martial arts.[20]

So what you're saying is that ninjas are cooler then pirates?
Shaolin are WAY cooler than Pirates.
Pakistan bombarded several Buddhist monuments carved into the side of a mountain. India, in response left the Islamic monuments in their country alone.
Peace will win, but it must be kept with vigilance.
