This seems to be taken quite a while to be being reported / picked up by Western press for some reason.....
Except the daily star of course who are leading with "bomb in UK tourist hotspot" - which of course Southern Thailand is most certainly not.

The Daily Star is usually preoccupied with huge and mostly artificial tits - so I'm surprised there's no mention of LatinPoxxx
I've just seen it in today's Indy and noted that that journal's resident band of loony racist posters has labelled it a "Muslim" insurgency. Their ignorance of Thailand is no hindrance to their mouth-frothing and blood-curdling abuse. Trying to explain to them the difference between a national dispute and a religious one is beyond my meagre ability.
The line between nation and religion has always been blurry Oliver. From the Jews in Egypt to Ireland to IS and many many bits inbetween.
If a dispute is confined to one specific area- the Malaysian border- and is not replicated in any sense amongst the huge numbers of Muslims in other parts of the country, then you can safely judge it to be territorial, rather than religious.The separatists have (to my knowledge) neither sought nor received support from their Thai co-religionists.
I find a similar situation when I'm in Palestine, where the landowners consist of both Christians and Muslims. It makes no difference; they still have their lands taken....and not by "Jews" but by political Zionists who are Jews (though encouraged by others, usually non-Jews, in the US and Europe.)
...oliver..u mean they got annoyed when the Jews presented them with a bill for 2000 years of rent in arrears....freeloaders moved into a home that wasnt theirs....jews were there long before that lot showed up....not called JEWrusalem for nothing.
On that basis the Red Indians should be sending Trump a massive bill any day now.
Red Indians you say? Are they like "Sheep-shaggers"?Originally Posted by scottish-guy
