Islamic war in Thailand progressing

In this BBC article it becomes ever clearer that there's a structural problem with the Muslim neighbour to the South of Thailand, Malaysia.

Two bombs have injured at least 18 people in southern Thailand, just hours after another blast killed two people in a neighbouring province.
The attacks come amid rising tensions over the deaths in army custody of 78 Muslim protesters earlier this week.

What's Malaysia got to do with it, you ask. Well, this:

Malaysia's former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad has urged Bangkok to consider giving autonomy to southern Thailand's Muslim Malay majority.

He told a local paper that early action could prevent a violent escalation.

I pointed to this 'phenomenon' and the maniac Mahathir before.

More than 400 people have now died in southern Thailand this year in mounting violence blamed on the security forces and Islamic separatist rebels. One separatist group this week vowed to avenge the latest deaths by attacking Bangkok.

Our correspondent says it underscores Thai claims that separatist guerrillas may be crossing from Malaysia, a charge the Malaysian authorities deny.

Nevertheless, the Malaysian government has expressed concern that the violence could spill over into its territory. Hundreds of Malaysians gathered outside the Thai embassy in Kuala Lumpur on Friday to protest about the killings.

In an interview with a Malaysian newspaper, former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad said autonomy for Thailand's southern Muslims - whose ethnic roots are Malay - could help stem the violence.

The Thai need to take serious action against the maniacs in the South. Learn from Israel. From what Israel did right, and wrong.
