"I have learned, that if one advances confidently in the directionof his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he has imagined,he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours." - Henry David Thoreau

THE ELEMENT OF SURPRISE
Obviously there are some very angry people out there.The fundamental questions are,to my mind only two. Firstly,who are these people targeting holiday destinations and secondly,why are they angry enough to kill?
Once upon a time I was a Church Pastor but I am also acquainted with many Muslim folks.I have strolled through the streets of Yala and Songkhla- where usually bombs and shootings take place.I was treated very well whenever I visited any Muslim country in the whole world.Why did they not try to harm me? The answer is very simple- I did them no wrong and I never provoke anybody with my words or my deeds.There is no reason to attack me.I certainly hope that a bomb does not go off in some restaurant where I am eating fried noodles with dried chilli.I can imagine the headlines the next day, "LAWYER DIES WHILE EATING FRIED NOODLES IN BOMB ATTACK."
This violence cannot be solved by conveniently labelling all Muslims as terrorists.Many Muslims have died needlessly at the hands of non-Muslims.This is a fact.THE HORRIBLE RESULT?- many innocent non-Muslims have become the victims of their vengeance. Vijay- The Midnight Owl
All my condolences who have become the latest victims in this ever continuing cycle of vengeance.
