    The roots, without getting personal. are in Jihadists following the example of the so called prophet and thinking they can get their own way by murder and terror. 

    Rubbish, you have absolutely no clue about this conflict and your posts showing this lack of knowledge is just embarrassing yourself.

    Tell that to the Russians and Chinese, all big friends of Thailand. 

    Having authoritarian control and forcing people to accept the situation is not assimilation.

     

    I suspect the Chechens are watching with great interest at how the Russian military has been seriously weakened in Ukraine. As there are Chechen units involved in Ukraine, the intelligence on how weak it is at present will be clear to those who strive for independence.

     

    Would not surprise me at all if there is an attempt to exploit its weakened state and achieve statehood in the near future.

    Why is a Buddhist preaching nationalism, it runs counter to Buddhist philosophy. Secondly I suggest you do some research on the deep South conflict before posting again. The link below will assist with your education.

    Some do not want to understand the roots of this conflict, they only wish to view it through jaundiced views and prejudicial thinking.

    She said that earlier she had been in the same area and been angered by a trader.

     

    She returned later to get her money till in a bad mood and said that the mother and daughter were looking at her and smiling.

     

    She claimed that she waved the knife about in the general area of the child and it connected. She didn't mean to do it.

    Psycho.

    This is not about those rights being violated in the common sense, it's about buying stocks and bonds in company's that are not ESG in nature and are used in pension portfolios.  Since gas and energy are not ESG friendly those funds and bonds are being dropped under the ESG platform as well as stocks in gunmakers and military equipment.  Try again.

    What has that got to do with my point that the governors have no case to act against those on Wall Street who state ESG concerns as a reason not to invest in a particular sector/industry?

    100% agree with your post. furthermore, you can add Northeast Issan and Buri Ram, Si Sa Ket, and Surin to that list as well. 

    While these regions I mentioned are considered Thai citizens, the majority are Lao descent and speak Lao/Issan language at home and to each other.  Same thing goes for the Khmer descent in the southeast part of Issan near the Cambodia border. Thailand has attempted in the last 7 decades to assimilate the people in those regions to think and believe they are Thai, but in reality, it hasn't worked so well. 

    Forced assimilation rarely does.

    'Buddhist monk, accompanied by a group of soldiers, has triggered uproar in the Muslim community'

     

    As usual offended by everything, even a monk talking about the Thai flag. Difficult community to live with when they demand everything their way.

    If the visit was forced upon the school, then there is indeed cause for concern. 
     

    It is one thing to invite outside speakers into a school, quite another to be told this is happening.
