I don't really think it has anything to do with religion anymore, even if it did have in the first place. A lot of these people are about as Muslim as those in Bangkok are Buddhists. It's about (in my view ) drug trafficking, human trafficking, arms, contraband and whatever else is on the agenda that is illegal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PETERTHEEATER Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 At the risk of appearing pedandtic the term 'defuse' in this context is incorrect. It should be 'defuze'. This is a common error by journalists. A 'fuse' (noun) is an electrical component. A 'fuze' (noun) is a explosive component. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
