<p>I have long expected the muslims of southern Thailand would move their campaign of terrorism into the tourist areas.</p>

<p>Maybe now the jihad there will start to get more publicity than "The Wall" erected by Israel. After all, the number of victims of terrorism in Thailand these last 10 years has outnumbered the deaths in Israel by a long, long way. Yet strangely, nothing is said about the 5000 or so buddhist teachers, children, etc. blown up or gunned down in Thailand. And throughout all this time the western holiday makers were flying to place like Samui, only about 100 miles from the slaughter of buddhists.</p> Joe said:

<p>Good that Prime Minister Mark Abhisit Vejjajiva has gone. One explanation for his spinelessness, is he was born in Newcastle, He studied in England, and he returned to Thailand several times, including a gap year trip in 1983 with classmate and future London Mayor Boris Johnson to the resort city of Chiang Mai and the island of Phuket.</p> Sharia law to be introduced i…tag:4freedoms.com,2013-06-18:3766518:Comment:1275602013-06-18T13:28:21.888ZJoehttp://4freedoms.com/profile/38DD

<p>What you describe has almost happened. In the last 8 years, 85% of the buddhists from southern Thailand have left that area. The muslims have ethnically-cleansed it. Those buddhists who have been left behind have been offered guns & training to become a citizen's militia.</p>

<p>Contact with islam corrupts. There are large areas of Bangkok which are already islamised. IIRC, the number of Thais who are (sporadically) spending time as monks in monasteries now is only 25% of what it was 10 years ago. The Thai government claims that Thais are giving up buddhism because of westernisation; I think it is more likely to be that Thais are seeing that buddhism is a weakness when faced with genuine muslims. Islam corrupts. </p> The only way for Thailand to…tag:4freedoms.com,2013-02-13:3766518:Comment:1185582013-02-13T14:22:44.464ZCarl Wallerhttp://4freedoms.com/profile/CarlWaller
<p>The only way for Thailand to settle this is to move out the non muslim population from 1 province and then move all the Muslims from the rest of Thailand into that province. Build a big Israeli style wall along it and patrol it. Isolate the muslims behind the wall and let em get on by themselves or dance with Malaysia, whatever. No economic support suceed the province Anyone sticks their head over the wall, its bye bye time. This can be done, If Thailand starts to think more like Israel. …</p>

<p>Not to worry. Theres nothing on the BBC about it, so it can't be happening. People are always beheading themselves and blaming muslims. </p>
