Thai Prime Minister Surayud Chulanont suggested the introduction of Islamic law in the troubled south<\/a>:<\/p>\n

BANGKOK, Nov. 7 (Reuters) \u2014 Prime Minister Surayud Chulanont, in another significant gesture to Muslim insurgents in the far south, said Tuesday that Islamic law should be given a bigger role there.<\/p>\n

He also said the only condition his post-coup government would impose for talks with the insurgents was that there should be no discussion of separation.<\/p>\n

Mr. Surayud told the Foreign Correspondents Club of Thailand that Shariah, or Islamic law, should be allowed in the area, where 80 percent of the people are ethnic Malay and Muslim.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Does the insurgency in southern Thailand revolve around Malay separatism\/nationalism or the demand for Islamic law?<\/p>\n

It might well be both but in my opinion, granting autonomy power to the Malay Thai states would be a better solution to a top down introduction of Islamic law by Bangkok.<\/p>\n

[…] they do not respond to government campaigns and directives. So they have to be shot.<\/p>\n

“I myself have killed, I would say, about 40,000 of them,” Mr. Lim said, working in spare time from his job as a Web site editor.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Alright. Alright. I quoted it out of context. It really was about crows culling. Still, it isn’t too different to Singaporean politics, is it?<\/p>\n

Not to mention the barbaric act of killing itself…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
