How do you say it in muslim?
Ever wonder what the muslim word for "terrorist" is?
Three people killed in southern Thailand by suspected Muslim militants
Two Buddhist Thais and a Muslim village headman have been shot dead by masked suspected Islamic militants in the restive south, police said.
Sukit Yingsong, a 28-year-old defence volunteer, and his paralysed father Kan Yingsong, 60, were strafed with machine-gun fire at their home in Yala province late Friday, police said.
"It is clear that the perpetrators were militants because Sukit was threatened and told to abandon his house, which is surrounded by Muslim villagers," said district police commander Colonel Parnpitak Thepchudeang.
There you have it folks. Wonder no more, the muslim word for "terrorist" is obviously... "militant," something that the American mainstream media has known all along.
As long as we are defining words, let me be clear about something... there is a difference between arab and muslim. Arab means "of arabic descent." Muslim means "adherent to islam."
Okay. School is out now.
