Muslims in Bangkok Protest Over Quran Remarks by Transwoman

A group of Muslims gathered at a Bangkok restaurant to confront a transwoman, known as Lor, demanding an apology for alleged insults to the Quran during a social media livestream. The incident attracted widespread attention, leading to heightened tensions at the scene. Lor eventually agreed to publicly apologise and complied with calls to shave her hair as a sign of remorse.

Lor, originally from a Muslim community in Narathiwat, relocated to Bangkok for work. The dispute arose after a social media user, Freece, criticized Lor and friends for their appearance, which was seen by some as contradictory to Islamic teachings. During a livestream discussion, Lor allegedly made offensive remarks and altered Quranic wording, drawing sharp rebuke from the online Muslim community.

As criticism mounted, the president of the Yamilul Mosque arranged a meeting with Lor to discuss the issue. However, news of the meeting prompted a large group to gather outside the restaurant in Ramkhamhaeng. Some protesters demanded further acts of contrition, including self-slapping and hair shaving, which Lor eventually did under pressure.

Police intervened to escort Lor to safety amid attempts by some protesters to approach her as she was led to a police vehicle. The incident sparked debate online, with many criticizing the forced acts and questioning the response to Lor's alleged actions. Debate centred around issues of personal rights, gender identity discrimination, and the balance between religious respect and freedom of expression.

Authorities have not yet disclosed any plans for legal action against those involved in the confrontation or related to the original livestream.

Was there any real need to confront her? So, something was said about the Quran. Any normal person would have dismissed it as an unnecessary remark. But no, this is a Muslim thing, so its almost a case of, 'Where is my bag a large stones!?'

So highly strung, I am surprised they are not hanging from the top most branches of trees.

The trans is a biological man, whatever he wants to call himself. But the physical attacks on him by those religious zealots enforce what many believe to be a violent religion. So much for free speech.

Problem was apostasy not trans, although death is required for both offences.

Strange that a Buddhist culture would turn a blind eye to this. Humm! Let the Muslims duke it out ? Not our problem. Reminiscent of the Satanic verses. Nothing more dangerous than true believers in any religion. If a nation doesn't stomp it out , they will pay the price.

This is not a free speech issue. It is about ideological intimidation and must be constrained.

What's ok for these lunatics? Yes of course it's only a small minority while the large majority remains silent.

Typically when people are secure in their beliefs they're not so easily offended, so one has to wonder why certain groups take such dramatic offense to something so incredibly petty.

In my view this was a kind of lynching and everyone who attacked her should face charges.

He was physically assaulted. I agree. Those involved should be charged.

And hence the problem of free speech in countries like the UK!

Where is it stated that 'Buddhist culture' has to tell others to pull their head in?

Constrained ideology? Does it need a Crusade then?
