No more pencils, no more books, because we can't guarantee your safety. An update on this story. "Thailand to close all 944 schools in Muslim south," from AFP:
BANGKOK : Thailand will close all 944 public schools indefinitely in the country's restive Muslim-majority south after a string of arsons and shootings that left two teachers dead, an official said Monday.
"We have made a decision because we are worried about our own safety and our lives," said Boonsom Thongsriplai, the chairman of the Teachers Federation of Pattani, one of three insurgency-torn southern provinces bordering Malaysia.
All 994 [sic] public schools, ranging from elementary to high schools, in Pattani, Narathiwat and Yala would be closed from Tuesday, Boonsom said, adding that all 336 schools in Pattani and 100 in Yala were already closed.
The school closure was due to a wave of arson attacks against school buildings, as well as shootings that killed two Buddhist school teachers last week.
In Pattani, suspected Islamic militants gunned down a 48-year-old school director inside his parked car then set fire to the bullet-riddled vehicle, the federation said.
The victim was the 60th teacher killed during three years of unrest in the south, where more than 1,600 people have been killed in the almost daily violence since January 2004.
Since taking office after the September coup, army-installed premier Surayud Chulanont has offered a number of olive branches, including an offer to hold talks with militants, in a bid to bring peace to the troubled region.
But the violence has spiralled in the last month, with bombings, arsons and shootings happening every day.
The Muslim-majority area was an independent sultanate annexed by mainly Buddhist Thailand in 1902. Separatist violence has erupted periodically ever since.
The latest unrest has been variously blamed on ethnic Malay separatists, Islamic extremists and criminal gangs.

The SE Asia jihad has always puzzled me.
The UK press has almost totally ignored it since it kicked off. I can recall reading about it in the back pages of the UK papers after a few 'spectaculars' but aside from that, *nothing*. The Bali bombing was an exception only because a few Brits numbered amongst the casualties.
Somehow I doubt this blindness is limited to the UK.

Looks like appeasement is failing miserably in Thailand. Reminds me of that land for peace nonsense with the palestinians. Give them an inch, they take a mile. Smash them or cut that part of the country loose- appeasing the crazies will just keep the cauldron bubbling.

School's out for Sunnah
and I didn't even have to change many words
...
Well we got no choice
All the girls and boys
Muslims Makin all that noise
'Cause they found new toys
Well we can't salute ya
Can't find a flag
If that don't suit ya
That's a drag
School's out for Sunnah
School's out forever
School's been blown to pieces
No more pencils
No more books
No more teacher's dirty looks
Well we got no class
And we got no principles
And we got no innocence
We can't even think of a word that rhymes
School's out for Sunnah
School's out forever
School's been blown to pieces
No more pencils
No more books
No more teacher's dirty looks
Out for Sunnah
Out till fall
We might not go back at all
School's out forever
School's out for Sunnah
School's out with fever
School's out completely

If these 944 schools in this Muslim majority region of Thailand were teaching the same crap that they teach kids in Saudi Arabia and other Islamic (infested) countries, then no school will be good for 'em. What good can come from schools that teach Islam's version of how the world works?
In the very least the indoctrination they get isn't going to be as well organized as it'd be if they were in these "schools." They can't be any more ignorant if they don't attend school than they'd be if they did. Islam's version of the so-called educational disciplines IS ignorance.

If there was ever a time for allowing the muslim south to go its own way, it's now. Send all muslims and mosques in the north to the south and build a big fence with a massive minefield between north and south. End of muslim unrest.

Hi; small point: the article title says 944 schools while the second mention of the number in the article (this is in the original story too) gives 994. Perhaps the number is growing as we speak?

Disembowelled and murdered for teaching girls
Thursday November 30, 2006
By Kim Sengupta
GHAZNI - The gunmen came at night to drag Mohammed Halim away from his home, in front of his crying children and his wife begging for mercy.
The 46-year-old schoolteacher tried to reassure his family that he would return safely.
But his life was over.
He was partly disembowelled and then torn apart with his arms and legs tied to motorbikes. The remains were put on display as a warning to others against defying Taleban orders to stop educating girls.
Halim is one of four teachers killed in rapid succession by the Islamists at Ghazni, a strategic point on the routes from Kabul to the south and east which has become the scene of fierce clashes between the Taleban and United States and Afghan forces.
The day we arrived an Afghan policeman and eight insurgents died during an ambush in an outlying village. Rockets were found, primed to be fired into Ghazni city during a visit by the American ambassador a few days previously. But, as in the rest of Afghanistan, it is the civilians who are bearing the brunt of this murderous conflict.
At the village of Qara Bagh, Halim's family is distraught and terrified. His cousin, Ahmed Gul, shook his head. "They killed him like an animal. No, no. We do not kill animals like that. They took away a father and a husband, they had no pity. We are all very worried. Please go now, you see those men standing over there? They are watching. It is dangerous for you, and for us."
Fatima Mustaq, the director of education at Ghazni, has had repeated death threats, the notorious 'night letters'. Her gender, as well as her refusal to send girls home from school, has made her a hate figure for Islamist zealots. "I think they killed him that way to frighten us, otherwise why make a man suffer so much? Mohammed Halim and his family were good friends of ours and we are very, very upset by what has happened. He came to me when the threats first began and asked what he should do. I told him to move somewhere safe. I think he was trying to arrange that when they came and took him."
The threats against Mushtaq also extend to her husband Sayyid Abdul and their eight children. "When the first letters arrived, I tried to hide them from my husband. But then he found the next few. He said we must stand together. We talked, and we decided that we must tell the children, so that they can be prepared. But it is not a good way for them to grow up."
During the Taleban's rule she and her sister ran secret schools for girls at their home. "They found out and raided us. We managed to persuade them that we were only teaching the Koran. But they spied and found out we were teaching algebra. So they came and beat us. Can you imagine, beating someone for teaching algebra."

The new dictator eases the pressure on the rebels, and the violence increases...how unsurprising. The fact that they are focusing on attacking schools proves that this is much more than "unrest" as the media tend to potray it.
I wonder if media will make the big leap and start officially calling it "jihad"...
Yeah, I doubt it too.

The decentralized and asymetric 'network swarm' that Islam generates is problematic for organized civilizations like this effort in Southern Thailand.
But we have no excuse with what's coming from Iran, Syria, Hamas and Hizbullah. These are organized, confined to specific pieces of real estate and vocal about their agendas.

Are not they all the same? Which fiends murdered the teacher in Abby's post above? Was it those darn seperatists?, Those aweful criminals, or was it those evil Islamics? They did it for the Taliban, so guess what, muslims acting in a criminal manner did it for Allah. Allah the most compassionate, the most kind...kind of what? Well, not only is Allah kind, he is gentle as well. Read the Quran and hadith and see for yourself how the murderers of Halim emulated Allahs kindness and gentleness. What more proof do you need to see that Islam is the religion of peace.

I thought I was finished banging my head on the wall when I heard Olmert claiming he was "a bit disappointed" because of the violation of the ceasefire. But this news is far more frustrating to me.
It's an airtight case, at the end of the year 2006, that the Muslims should be deported, expelled en masse, from areas where they make trouble for their non-Muslim hosts. There are all sorts of excuses why governments don't do that: the Europeans fear the charges of "racism", the Israeli government says drastic action would have international reactions going up the roof, the USA is trying to "avoid making this a religious war", and so on with the lame excuses...
But the Thais?! What's their excuse?! There won't be any charges of racism, because the Thai Buddhists and Muslims are of the same race; there aren't (yet) any charges of "oppressing people who want a homeland of their own" (the Thai Muslims have not, as of now, invented themselves into an ancient indigenous nation), there isn't the baggage of "Christian culture colonialism" for the Thais to carry.
So what ARE they waiting for?! Expel them all, already! But they go on appeasing them like a bunch of French politicians. This is just maddening.

Another good reason to be islamophobic. If a nonbeliever is islamophobic that means the person is normal and can tell the difference between reality and lies. Being called Islamophobic is a compliment. Folks, when you look at the Psychotic-In-Iran, if you are not Islamophobic then you are not playing with a full deck.
Posted by: Frank at November 30, 2006 5:56 PM
The thais are not Christian or white, which means that they could probably send every Muslim to a death camp and nobody would even notice.

Greetings in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
This just makes me want to weep. We here in the west just don't know what it must be like to live in desperate fear like this. Beheadings, having your husband, father, neighbor, friend disemboweled and ripped apart...!
I cannot believe the incredible brutality that Muslims seem to so easily justify. How could anyone believe in a god that is pleased to have his servants commit such acts of cruelty?
Does no Muslim ever question a god that would require this? Why can't he do his own killing?
Anyway, it just makes me weep for these victims who are suffering so acutely, everywhere around the world where Islam dwells in the hearts of men.

"I cannot believe the incredible brutality that Muslims seem to so easily justify. How could anyone believe in a god that is pleased to have his servants commit such acts of cruelty?

(From a posting above)
The thing is that even if they didn't have a justification for their brutality, they'd get a 'pass' just so long as the perp proclaims that the bloody mess was done in the name of "allah."
Here's what ANY psychopath could do:
1) Gather materials to make an explosive device, and build it for the purpose of killing dozens of innocent people.
2) Prepare a video message proclaiming that you are going to kill infidels in the name of "allah," and that you are joining the international jihad against the evil West.
3) Detonate the device (whether it's a carbomb or some other delivery system) with yourself inside of the building (a food court in a shopping mall, or some other place where there are lots of innocent people).
4) Go directly to paradice and go hog-wild with your 72 virgins.
Note that according to the words of the Quran, you do not actually need to be a practicing Muslim to be a 'martyr.'
"Let those of you who are willing to trade the life of this world for the life to come, fight in God’s way. To ANYONE who fights in God’s way, whether killed or victorious, We shall give a great reward. Sura 4:74"
ANY psychopath can kill innocent people, and as long as it's done in the name of "allah," it's peachy with him.

Reasons for the killing of Buddhist teachers and farmers in southern Thailand by Muslims:
Americans in Fallujah.
U.N. troops in southern Lebanon.
Israeli checkpoints outside Qalqilya.
Temporary suspension of Jizyah payments to "Palestinian" Authority.
Pope Benedict's refusal to prostrate himself in Muslim prayer at the Blue Mosque.
France's insistence on banning the wearing of hijab in public schools.
Danish cartoons in Jyllands-Posten.
Refusal of Christians in Pakistan to stop going to church.
Refusal of Philippines to give Muslims an independent state.
Refusal of US AIR to apologize for removal of six imams.
Denial of American visa for Tariq Ramadan.
Refusal of Copts in Egypt to know their place.
Refusal of Hindus in India to know their place
Refusal of Christians in England to know their place.
Refusal of non-Muslims in Italy, France, Spain, Belgium, Germany, England, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland to know their place.
These are some of the reasons why Muslims have felt compelled to attack Buddhists in southern Thailand, despite every offer of peace and special aid from the Thai government, so that for safety reasons 944 schools had to be closed.
Just some.
at November 30, 2006 7:38 PM
Archimedes2-- good eye.
I pasted their figure of 944 into our headline from theirs; between their headline and the article, they use 944 twice and 994 once.
And it turns out you're not the only one wondering about that: Interestingly enough, a corrected AFP version in the Hindustan Times changed them all to read "944." But News.com.au took the same AFP story and adjusted them all to 994.
We're probably not supposed to notice that.
Anyway, Reuters also went with 944.
So I'm figuring there's safety in numbers on... inconsistent numbering.

Everything the Muslim touches he destroys. It's the opposite of the Midas touch. LOL
Seriously the Only Muslims in the world who are not destroying everything ( so far ) are the Muslims in Western Countries , and we are seeing that those apples don't fall far from the tree. France is all but Overrun, and the Rest of Europe hangs by a thread.
If it were not for the rules of Law and our superior numbers here (for now)they would have already destroyed the West . they simply cannot NOT destroy. it's in the PROGRAMMING.

944 or 994? It is probably an error in translation somewhere along the way. Not important. More than one means that what is happening is not an isolated incident. THAT is important.

Bush Supporters Are Loonier, Says Study
[...]
Incidentally, or perhaps predictably, Bush supporters in the study exhibited more ignorance about what’s what in the world. “Bush supporters had significantly less knowledge about current issues, government and politics than those who supported Kerry,” the study says.
The researchers said the results are supported by a study in 1977 that found mentally ill patients were more likely to have supported Richard Nixon over George McGovern.
Anyone who knows me knows I am NO fan of Jorge Bin-Busho.
HOWEVER.. this "study" from ummanews assumes that Bush is more authoritarian than Kerry. BASED on WHAT?
This is the perfect example of liberal BIAS. See, LiEberals think there is a real difference between the "parties". All those True Conservatives and Patriots who Didn't vote are ahead of the Curve. They already know the deal!
They know that the American People are getting SHAFTED.

Hugh from above: Reasons for the killing of Buddhist teachers and farmers in southern Thailand by Muslims:
A good list, but your right, it's incomplete.
It takes a certain kind of mentality to have continuous rage, and strike out, using twisted logic as a reason/excuse. Jails and institutions are full of people like that. I once asked a petty criminal why he had stolen a coat off a coatrack in a bar. His reply was that he had been in the bar last night, and 'they' stole his coat, and now he had stolen 'theirs'.
Muslims in a rage over cartoons ect, do much the same thing. 'They' insulted the prophet and 'They' must die. It matters little who the 'they' is. Nick Berg was a 'they'. The Buddhist in Thailand are 'theys'. The criminal says: "They stole my coat, now I will steal theirs". The muslim says: "They insulted the Prophet and I will kill them".
Not a whole lot of difference...

ZionistYoungster said
But the Thais?! What's their excuse?! [...] what ARE they waiting for?!
The Thai government's decision to close all schools rather than expell the people murdering the teachers may be related to the recent coup by a Muslim general. Note that the murdered teachers were Buddhists, as were at least some of the students. I don't think it's Islamic madrasses that are being targeted.
As for inventing an ancient indigenous nation, see here for a description of the Malay people, the people living in the southern part of Thailand (bordering Islamic Malaysia). You didn't think Israel was the first/only case where that game worked, did you? :-)
Thailand is 95% Buddhist, 4.6% Muslim. And be sure that, with all the murders in the south, and the government's unwillingness to address it, that any remaining non-Muslim Thais will flee to the relative safety of the north. And the south will become more and more Islamic, and more and more independent of Buddhist Thailand. Immigration of more Muslims from neighboring Malaysia will become more common. And then, Muslims will move north to the bordering provinces, to begin the process again. Repeat as necessary.

>>>
I have forwarded to BBC all of the reports for the past week, including the one from Human Rights Watch yesterday condeming the Muslim Terrorists for targeting children. Not only have they not responded they have refused to cover the news at all. CNN did, which surprised me, and they did not even end their report with the usual anti-thailand “the Thai’s discriminate against Muslim so they deserve what they get” ending that BBC reports give when they do actually say something about this. The irony is that on the few occaisions when BBC does say something about the southern situation they always add that muslims complain of lack of education opportunity and jobs. But they never wonder how it can be if someone burns down their own school and kills children who would want to hire them. Where would they work? In a hotel? In a travel agency? In a hypermarket?
What is happening to the Thai people is ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity, but because Muslims are the perpetrators the BBC will say nothing at all about this.
>>>
If these 944 schools in this Muslim majority region of Thailand were teaching the same crap that they teach kids in Saudi Arabia and other Islamic (infested) countries, then no school will be good for 'em. What good can come from schools that teach Islam's version of how the world works?
>>>
These are public schools the terrorists are targeting. They are mixed gender and race pupils, teachers are both buddhist and muslim. The Pondoks, the islamic religious schools are of course untouched by the terrorists. The press usually says the schools are attacked because they are symbols of the state but that is not true. They are attacked because the children there learn to speak the Thai language and because they are mixed gender and religion. The schools teach social harmony and the terrorists don’t want that, they want to concur the people and enslave them to their islamic ideology by the sword as their prophet taught them to do.
>>>
The latest unrest has been variously blamed on ethnic Malay separatists, Islamic extremists and criminal gangs.
Are not they all the same?
>>>
Yes, they are the same. The violence really began when the previous government began cracking down on drugs dealing, which interfered with the muslim terrorists’ income sources. The drugs are going to Buddhist children not to Muslim children and so it is part of their jihad and spiritually an ok source of money for them since it is harming non-Muslims.
>>>
But the Thais?! What's their excuse?! There won't be any charges of racism, because the Thai Buddhists and Muslims are of the same race; there aren't (yet) any charges of "oppressing people who want a homeland of their own" (the Thai Muslims have not, as of now, invented themselves into an ancient indigenous nation), there isn't the baggage of "Christian culture colonialism" for the Thais to carry.
So what ARE they waiting for?! Expel them all, already! But they go on appeasing them like a bunch of French politicians. This is just maddening
>>> We Thais care very much about our image, internationally. You must also remember our government is required by the constitution to protect all religions. No one in government is willing to do anything that would see them responsible for international criticism. China can do things like that because everyone wants to get a piece of their market share. We don’t have that here.
>>>
I cannot believe the incredible brutality that Muslims seem to so easily justify. How could anyone believe in a god that is pleased to have his servants commit such acts of cruelty?
Does no Muslim ever question a god that would require this? Why can't he do his own killing?"

You must understand that to them non muslims are not complete people. Deep down inside they don’t respect you or me as human beings in the sense that we respect human life, all life. They might like us, the way an owner can like a pet chicken, but still go ahead and slaughter us when the urge strikes. That is just how it is with them. They are different from you and me.

Here is my vote for some song lyrics:
----Gimme back my bullets
Put 'em back where they belong
Ain't foolin' around 'cause I done had my fun
Ain't gonna see no more damage done
Gimme back my bullets.-----
I toted a rifle for many years, I still have the skills to mess up someones day. At the rate this insipid Muslim violence is increasing, I may have to do it again.
School closures and violence against educators (especially those who try to educate women,and not to mention the students themselves are often the victims as are the victims family members)is, as far as I can see, found exclusively in Muslim controlled areas. I do not recall reading about any Christian or Western controlled areas denying education or ability to learn from those who wish to teach or to learn.
As I see it, Islam is deathly afraid of a valid education of the Masses, Islam prefers only an education agenda as set forth and approved by the 7th century minded Islamic clerics.
To those who wish to convert to Islam: Is this what you wish to subject your children to??? If so, then shoot your children now and save the Religion of Peace the trouble of doing it for you.

Muslims (at this stage) are a very small number in our country (which wont last long as they have their massive families to their four wives) yet they force the people in the country that they have adopted to do what they want, or else...
Strange how other immigrants of other nationalities who have greater numbers of people do not cause trouble, and they follow their ways and beliefs silently. How dare these people from this religion take our kindness and throw it in our face, we didn't have to take them out of the hell that they SAID that they were living in, we could have left them there, but we stupid infidels care... We should have woken up when the Quran says that they are not allowed to take the infidels as friends that we are the enemy because we wont submit.. stupid us eh...

tand fast in the liberty, you say, "Why can't he do his own killing?"
He did and delighted in it.
Ishaq:327 “Allah said, ‘A prophet must slaughter before collecting captives. A slaughtered enemy is driven from the land. Muhammad, you craved the desires of this world, its goods and the ransom captives would bring. But Allah desires killing them to manifest the religion.’” ............
Then there is this, which shows his joy.
Tabari VII:56 “‘Messenger of Allah, what makes the Lord laugh with joy at his servant?’ He replied, ‘When he plunges his hand into the midst of an enemy without armor.’............
Realise that the enemy is anyone who is not Muslim................
Ishaq:576 “Allah and His servant overwhelmed every coward. Allah honored us and made our religion victorious. We were glorified and destroyed them all. Allah humiliated them in the worship of Satan. By what our Apostle recites from the Book and by our swift horses, I liked the punishment the infidels received. Killing them was sweeter than drink. We galloped among them panting for the spoil. With our loud-voiced army, the Apostle’s squadron advanced into the fray.”
Ishaq:308 “Muhammad halted on a sandhill and divided the booty Allah had given him. They congratulated him on the victory Allah had granted. But one of the warriors replied, ‘What are you congratulating us about? We only met some bald old women like the sacrificial camels who are hobbled, and we slaughtered them!’ The Apostle smiled because he knew that description fit .”

The only way to reopen the schools is to eliminate the arsonists and murderers. Islam wants ignorance so they can dominate a docile and stupid horde of muslim mutants. There is nothing redeeming about Islam. It is a curse and threat to mankind. Round up all of these muslims and give them a choice of conversion or death!

Let me add that if muslims gain power here in America they would work to have our schools closed so that they could rule us. I hate them all. Reality and survival have brought me to this conclusion. This is a religion of death!

Truthseeker:
I cannot understand why America allows things to happen: did you Know??
Yet in some American schools the teachers have been teaching Islam by having students study and learn Muslim Prayers and to dress as Muslims---such methodologies wouldn’t last 10 seconds if it were Christianity being taught. Some of the student activities include learning about the climate of the Middle East, the food and everyday activities of Islam, and the geography and the lay of the land.
Still other assignments were to learn the “five pillars” of Islam, to study Ramadan and to listen to guest speakers including an American Muslim who arrived dressed in her religious costume to talk to the kids about her Quran.
For extra credit the student can learn to say the Muslim prayers in Arabic.
It would appear the students are being indoctrinated that Islam is a religion of peace, and being dressed up as a Muslim , while learning the prayers and scriptures out of the Quran are worthwhile learning activities.
Would it have been just cultural education if students were in simulated baptisms, wearing a crucifix, having taken the name of St. John and with praise banners saying “Praise be to Jesus Christ” on classroom walls?
These student activities are real, they occur in Oregon, Minnesota, Michigan, and other states.
I just have to ask: WHY IS IT?

To exsgtbrown...thank you for the service. Maybe our students learning geography will prepare them for the eventual take over and destruction of muslim lands. I came to America as a 12 year old boy from England. I was instructed in Patriotism and pride of America. I have raised two American children. We are not English/Americans. Over the last 50 years I have seen us go into a liberal path that is injurous to all American liberties. Our schools should be teaching about the menace of Islam and be places where our children are prepared for the clash of civilization. No doubt we will win, but we much act soon otherwise the muslim mutants will gain the upper hand here too. I say close all mosques, eliminate all terrorists, deport all muslim - immigrants or American born, Then and only then can we live in peace.

Somebody said: that "the Muslims should be deported, expelled en masse"
Am I the only one a bit bored with this kind of child-like, and truly self-indulgent, lashing out?
Yes - there is a problem and it needs to be addressed. But lashing out like this is self-indulgent, pointless, and stupid.
There will be no mass deportation of Muslims. Come to terms with that fact. Once you have, try to come up with a realistic option.
FFS. Don't make yourself an inadvertent parody. This is a serious issue - knee-jerk reactions invoking sentiments like mass deportation and stocking up for the apocolypse only undercut the credibility of anti-jihad arguments.

Plague,
One more thing, (I'm going to show my age here), Alice Cooper's "School's Out" tour was the first concert I ever went to. I think I was 13. I've been an Alice fan ever since. Now I'm your fan.

>>> We Thais care very much about our image, internationally. You must also remember our government is required by the constitution to protect all religions. No one in government is willing to do anything that would see them responsible for international criticism. Posted by: laosuwanlaosuwan
That's your problem. The #1 responsibility of the Thai government (and all other governments for that matter) should be the protection of their citizens, even if it means earning the opprobrium of other countries. Sure, you care about tourism, foreign investment, and all the good things that come with being liked, but when the lives of your fellow Thai are endangered, that ought to take a back seat. Just as few are paying attention to the Malay rebellion, if Thai death squads were to be created and flood the southern provinces, not too many people (outside the State Department) would notice.
What you need is a war on Malaysia. How strong is Thailand militarily?

We don’t approve of death squads or even think in those terms. Death squads don’t work and we don’t want them. When the police do this on their own they are found out and condemned internationally and it only helps the terrorist’s propaganda machine. The Muslim terrorists are very good at making themselves look like victims even while they are the killers.
Speaking of which I condemn the government of Sweden which harbors the PULO terrorist propaganda leaders, letting them maintain their websites and give talks, raise money to help the terrorists in Thailand. The PULO terrorists operate freely and openly from Sweden, go to OIC and so forth with no fear or arrest or punishment. If you are disgusted with the dumb, big and lumbering idiot Swedes as much as we Thai are you should help us organize a campaign to expose and embarrass the Swedes for their tolerance of these murderers of Thai people.

Are you joking? Who NEEDS war? Malaysia is going Islamic, everyone knows it but the governments in our region and the press won’t admit it. They don’t want to contemplate what this means. Imagine Singapore, stuck between Indonesia and Malaysia. They don’t want to even think about what the future holds there.
Honestly, our military is not so strong. Never has been. And we have a lot of borders and problems to the north. Burma, huge problem and very dangerous for our army. Laos, drugs and illegal aliens. Cambodia, drugs and lots of Muslim terrorists heading to help their brothers in the southern provinces. A big area to cover. No way could we defeat Malaysia in a war. Fortunately no one is thinking in those terms. However, the Malaysians are fighting a proxy war against Thailand, this is for sure. The problem is not knowing how high up it goes in the government. For sure the previous prime minister was involved. But mostly it is the extreme Islamic states bordering Thailand that are behind sheltering the terrorists and helping them kill the Thaďs. The problem is Malaysia parties suck up to them for votes in every election so no one does anything about it. It’s all very complicated here.
