This via the Straights Times (Asia): Monks slashed to death in Thailand's south

Tension between Buddhists and Muslims mounted in southern Thailand after five people were killed, including two Buddhist monks who were slashed as they collected food offerings.

Fox News has this piece: Two Palestinians Killed Near Gaza

...In the Gaza strip, Palestinian sources said two men killed by Israeli troops were members of the militant Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades. Soldiers shot the men as they neared the fence separating Gaza from Israel.

The men were identified as Ashraf al-Imbayed, 25, who was wearing a military-style jacket, and a distant relative from the same family clan, Samir al-Imbayed, 23.

The men were unarmed, but were carrying binoculars and cell phones, possible signs that they were planning an attack, the army said.

The military said it had received warnings that militants were planning an attack, and soldiers were continuing searches in the area near the Israeli village of Nahal Oz.

The area near the barrier is off limits to Palestinians and has been a frequent site of violence, the army said.

It said militant groups have recently tried to plant explosives or infiltrate into Israel near Nahal Oz. But Palestinians say farmers wandering into the area also have been targeted.

This one from the Baptist Press: Violence Against Christians Intensifies in Asia

A bombing at the Pakistan Bible Society injured 13 people one week after a Protestant pastor was shot to death in Pakistan's Punjab province, marking a recent rise in violence against Christians in South Asia.

...Pakistani police have arrested a member of the banned militant group Lashkar-e-Jhangvi for his suspected involvement in the Bible society bombing, and they have recovered a huge cache of bombs and related materials including maps of churches and Christian institutions, according to Kendal. The day after the man's arrest, seven Al Qaeda suspects were arrested in the same neighborhood, though there was no indication of any link, according to the Associated Press.

The bombing followed a homicide Jan. 8 in which a 50-year-old Church of God pastor was shot once in the chest at close range with a pistol.

Okay, so not all or even most Muslims are proponents of violence, but how many Muslims are proponents of peace? And why do they let this stuff go on?
