BANGKOK, Feb 2 (Reuters) - Suspected Muslim rebels killed and then decapitated two Thai paramilitary rangers on Monday in the Muslim-majority far south, which has been plagued by five years of separatist unrest, police said.

"They were both shot dead while they were riding out of the village and were then decapitated," a policeman, who did not wish to be identified, told Reuters.

The head of one of the soldiers, a Muslim, was removed from the scene, while that of his Buddhist colleague was burnt along with his body and motorbike, the officer said.

There was no claim of responsibility, a feature common to all the attacks that have claimed more than 3,000 lives in Thailand's four southernmost provinces since 2003.

8. Truth!

As a Christian I could never claim Christianity as a religion of peace, look at the track record. Yikes!

I don't understand why Muslims keep refering to Islam as a religion of peace, my bf doesn't either and he is Muslim.

7. What part?

Royalist paramilitaries from the north harassing local villagers (that's why they're stationed there), or local paramilitaries hitting them back for it?
