Security officials defend visit to Islamic school in South

[snoop1130]

Spokesman of ISOC’s regional forward unit Col Kiatisak Neewong insists that none of the soldiers visiting the Islamic school in Narathiwat was armed.

 

Local security officials have come in defense of last weekend’s visit to an Islamic school, in the strife-torn southern Thai province of Narathiwat, by a group of soldiers accompanied by a Buddhist monk. The visit touched off a strong reaction from some quarters in the local Muslim community.

 

An opposition MP directed criticism at the government over the incident during the House debate on Thursday.

 

A spokesman for the Internal Security Operations Command’s forward unit in Region 4 said the visit was part of the government’s efforts to promote peaceful co-existence within the country’s pluralistic culture.

No wonder the Prachachart Party sees this as unwelcome. Looks very much like a provocation to bring soldiers and a monk to an Islamic school.

Worse, they were there explaining the symbolism of the Thai national flag.

• The red stripes represent Thailand’s blood spilt to maintain independence
• The white stands for purity and Buddhism
• The blue symbolises the Thai monarchy

Where exactly does a Muslim child fit into there?
