Muslim Violence in Southern Thailand
This video shows an important side of the tensions in Southern Thailand but does not do justice in really talking about Thailand’s role in causing the distrust between Thais and Islamic ethnic Malay people. Thaksin Shinawatra, the previous prime minister, did a lot to fan the flames and fomented violence in the south but this is almost glossed over in the video. After all, it is a VOA production, and the US government is on an anti-Islam kick, so I am not too surprised by this.
