Violence in the south
 

As all of you probably know there has been much violence commited in the south of thailand due to a few trouble makers who want to make sourthern Thailand a seperate homeland for muslims.
My question is, shouldn't they consider that they are Thais first ?

They should, but they don't. India had the same problem and got Pakistan out of the deal. I hope Thailand remains strong and expels the trouble makers.

How can they expel their own citizens ? Perhaps I wasn't clear here.
I meant shouldn't the muslim Thais consider that they are Thais first ?

It's always the same poblem.
Do we belong first to a nation or to a religion?
Certains people have made the choice to privilege the religion.
And we see what's happen around the world.
Why Jews from Gaza have no desire to be Palestinians? They settled here, don't want to leave... Then if they want to stay, they have to follow Palestinians laws without give back their religion. Maybe it can be possible, but do they want really?

You were clear, so perhaps I wasn't. These trouble-makers are enemies of the State and are subject to exile. Expel the trouble-makers. Perhaps they would be happier in Maylasia http://www.thailandguidebook.com/iB_...ns/biggrin.gif

True, any enemy of the Kingdom deserves expulsion. How disrespectful to their neighbors, to the culture, and to the King!!

You must be kidding...

What a good Idear - Mono culture means peace 2 religions just don't mix

FYI, Malaysia is a country with multi racial & cultural. Trouble makers will always be trouble makers regardless where they are if they don't appreciate & respect other religion & culture.
