Report: Muslim extremists in Thailand have decapitated 30 people in past 5 years

I have not heard much of anything about the problem of Islamic terrorism in Thailand. According to this report at Examiner.com, Muslim extremists have been inflicting terror for several years on innocent civilians as well as the Thai army.

Entering its fifth year, the Muslim rebellion in Thailand's southernmost provinces of Pattani, Yala and Narathiwat and some parts of neighboring Songkhla has taken the lives of more than 2,800 people. Many in the predominantly Muslim area feel unfairly treated by the country's Buddhist majority.

More than 30 people have been decaptitated during the insurgency, many of them civilians. The object appears to be to terrorize Buddhists into leaving the region.
