What cowards, luring and killing an innocent man working to feed his family, all for the sake of religion.

I hear you, but in this case, isn't the "southern insurgency" about territory not Islam? They want their own autonomous area.

Ok fine. I thought they wanted an autonomous area because they were Pattani muslims and did not want to be associated with Buddhist Thailand. Because i do not see muslims either ill treated or in any way discriminated against in thailand.

It's religion related, as they want to establish Pattani Darussalam, which would be a Malay Islamic State. Muslims not accepting rule from a non-Muslim etc..... think Jakarta

You are right,  but in those cases isn't the "southern insurgency about territory"   only because they want Muslims laws not Buddhists one, so one could hardly say not (because of) Islam?

Plain and simple if you are not a Muslim you are a infidel.

With all respect to you, as soon as a group hurts innocent people they lose any legitimacy they may have had.  In other words, who cares about their cause.

Had you also considered the PTSD among the troops deployed in that long campaign against the Dhammachaiyodingdong?

I believe that they are being rested before being committed to duties at the new waste recycling plant at Kanchanaburi which has just been opened by 1 Div

 

Always a bit of a juggling act fighting a war on several fronts, just look at the problems the Germans had in 1945....
