Why ?? Three car-bomb attacks Saturday in southern Thailand, which killed at least 14 people and wounded hundreds of others, are propelling a long-simmering Muslim insurgency to a fresh crisis point after years of brutal attacks. The blasts singled out weekend shoppers and vacationers in bustling commercial zones, a move security analysts said shows that Thailand's southern militants are modifying their targets by searching out higher-profile targets, and turning a low-intensity campaign into a much more dangerous conflict. National police chief Priewpan Damapong early Sunday confirmed a third car bomb, which triggered a fire at a hotel in Hat Yai city, killing at least three people and badly damaging a McDonald's restaurant. Security officials blamed the attacks on Muslim rebels seeking to break away from the control of the national government of this predominantly Buddhist nation. "Thailand annexed the southern region, a former Muslim sultanate, in the early 20th century, fostering a sense of resentment among many Muslims who complain about discrimination and being forced to learn Thai and bow to the power of Thailand's central government. Since 2004, though, the conflict has worsened, claiming the lives of more than 5,000 people. Most of the killings resulted from relatively small-scale, often drive-by, attacks on military targets or other symbols of the Thai government's authority, such as teachers and schools. Occasionally, militants have attacked commercial and tourist targets in Yala, Hat Yai and elsewhere." _____________________________________________ Why do Muslim no matter where they are, seem to find their reasons and motivations to start bombing people. I doubt Thailand will continue to tolerate the attacks by the Muslim population. I doubt truly if the world will continue to put up with it. |

Eventually, the hand of the Thai people will be forced to take action, take a stand and know that in the full spectrum if Thailand wants to retain its peaceful image of a nation that is welcoming to other.. They will have no choice but to deal with this Muslim threat. Other countries are also coming to the same realizations.
