All religion is nonsense. Religion is only one facet of the issues in the South. The primary grievance is the issue of recognition. The 2006 report of the National Reconciliation Commission was accepted by the Thaksin government but rejected by the Privy Council, the stumbling block being the recognition of Pattani-Malay (Yawi) as a working language in the region, Prem Tinsulanonda stated "The country is Thai and the language is Thai" so an opportunity for peace was lost.

Same the World over, banks are quick to implement rate hikes on their borrowers, but slow to pass any benefit to their savers.

Well that's because it is an insurgency, an armed rebellion against an occupying force, no one has declared a jihad. This is a dispute about recognition, recognition that the Pattani States have their own history, culture, language and religion. A recognition that the land was carved up and apportioned between British Malaya and Siam with no reference or asking the people that live there and a rejection of the policy of 'Thaification'. Before anyone suggests I condone the violence, no I don't, but I at least understand why the people are angry. .

That's why my master password is a combination of the make, colour and registration plate of the first family car I can remember as a child. One of those things that's stuck in my head more than 60 years, so even if I got Alzheimer's there's a chance I might remember it.
