MichaelGray Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 Suspected Islamic militants have beheaded a Buddhist man and shot dead two others in southern Thailand.A man and wife were found dead at the entrance of a rubber plantation in Yala province - the man had been shot and then decapitated, police said. A handwritten note was found saying "We will kill all Thai Buddhists." Another man was shot dead in a separate attack. Almost 2,000 have died in three years of violence in three southern provinces with majority Muslim populations. Shootings and other attacks occur almost daily in the southern provinces. Not much love down south is there (not much in BKK either, imo). The change of govt. doesn't seem to have made much of an impact does it? http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/6260245.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't that one of the reasons that the military overthrew Thaksin? His failure to deal with the southern problem. :roll: There is a problem and it's pretty serious. A bomb went off in a mosque in Chang Mai New Years Eve. It had apparently been brought in by a Muslim from Myanmar who accidently dropped it.... Muslims, members of the mosque said they didn't believe the police investigation; they didn't believe that a Muslim would ever bring a bomb into a mosque.... ???? Easy to believe that a Muslim would behead a Teacher or a Buddhist Monk?! Muslims need to wake up a seperate themselves from these fanatics that kill in the name of their religion. All Americans, Aussies and Brits I know are pretty vocal about their objection to the invasion of Iraq, Afganistan, etc.... I don't think Michael Gray is trying to start a Jihad. Hopefully just trying to raise awareness to a serious problem. I have a start to a solution; control the border between Malaysia and Thailand. Last I heard Malays and Thais on motorbikes just speed across the border like there isn't even one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

breakofdawning Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 MichaelGray Problems in the southern part of thailand has been there for decades. It used to be so bad that the King decided to build a palace down there and stayed there from time to time to try to solve the unrest. We then lived peacefully for years (not sure how long but should be over 10 years). The problem was that the muslim minority in the region feels that they weren't treated fairly, ecomonically, educationally, socially and most of all financially. After the royal visit to the area, the King initated various royal project to help them, to make them feel that they are one of us and receive just as much chance and care by the government, the King. We then lived peacefully. Up until maybe 3-4 years ago when the southern unrest started to be on the front page again. I don't remember how it started but the incidents at Tak Bai and Krue Sae turned everything into a big mess. Maybe if you go look for more information about it, you might find that it was Thaksin who created all this mess. And yes, he was ousted becoz he couldn't solve the southern unrest, that is a part of it. But the MUCH bigger part is the corruption that he and his cronies help each other destroy this country. What's happening in the south is sad and unfortunately, many people in Thailand who care including myself, cannot do anything about it. Ignoring it would be a bad choice of word to use. But just like any other crimes, after a while you feel that it's a part of your daily. You don't want to see or hear that it happens, but it does and there's nothing you can do about it. There's much more than just the different religions in the area that caused all this. Don't make a quick conclusion when you don't have all the information at hand. For me, I am just an ignorant one myself. Just expressing my two satang worth of opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldMember Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 Right Problems down there are a 100 years old or so.Historically ,Thailand had for centuries exerted much influence and most of the sultanates of peninsula Malaysia were vassal states to Ayudhya /Siam.That is until the Brits kicked em out in the early 20th century.The Sultanate of Pattani was allowed to be kept by Thailand as sort of consolation for losing control of all the other states to the British(Kedah,Trengganu,Perak etc) ....plus,more importantly, letting Thailand keep the Pattani ,helped as a sort of buffer zone. Ever since their ejection from Malaysia , the Thai provinces (Pattani,Yala,Narathiwat) ,which were created out of the old Pattani ,have been sporadically uprising.Its nothing new and shouldnt be confused with the post 9-11 US/islam melodrama .The major issue here is an age old desire for a separate state,or reunification with Malaysia .

Well, about the prob. in the southern Thailand is sentitive for u, Michael to understand if u get enough information, Reading the comment from nong Shannon.. will make u get more info.. Let me say Michael... TRT prob. is TRT prob. it's different from the prob. in the southern Thailand ok? TRT and Mr.Toxin the leader have so many prob. about corruption. and the prob. in the south is sensitive more than u know... we can do nothing much about it. If the gov. arrest and kill them that's the easiest way but think about the effect. It takes time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigKus Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 From: lennon To: bigKus Posted: 04 Apr 2007 4:46 pm Subject: the south just read your comments about south thailand problems,how would you resolve the problems down there then,and do you think foreigners should not have an opinion on the matter thax The problems in the south is out of my hands, so i leave it to the government handle and I know they are working hard on it now. I did say that the foreigners should not give away the opinions IF it not make anything better as this problem is a kind of sensitive.. and as I always say here that NOT everyone (foreigner) smart.

sunsnow Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 It is so stupid that site named Thailandfriends promotes discussion about peace in Thailand! Let there be war! All non-thais shut the f* up! You have no right to think or talk! You are just stupid to talk here, as the ppl can tell you! All the non-thais, lets all gather around with sticks and attack and insult other non-thais, thats the spirit! Way to go mates! That's the spirit! It is so funny to insult once more! Insult baby insult! Hit one more time, while he is in ground! Kick! This is just what some blogs talk about, the right way to do it: back stabbing farangs hating other farangs when at the same time other nationalities work together in close relations to advance their goals! Yeah, insult! Yeah yeah yeah! BITE ME, yeah, insult is won by more insult! Alright, lets continue the proven method of this thread, an insult this time not towards anyone special but an insult for the sake of insult, lets see do we all get, who have here again used the tool of insulting to advance this thread to this fantastic conclusion, a yellow card: You infuriating load of gormless cat furballs!
