Arguably, it's not a 'Muslim problem' but a secessionist movement. I've known several ethnic Thai Muslims who do not identify at all with the southern insurgents... remember that they are ethnic Malays who feel no attachment to the state of Thailand. So while they are also predominantly Muslim, we should not assume that religion in the driving force in this conflict (though the religious difference would exacerbate the conflict).

It is not a religion problem mostly, have a look at the History of the region

I read this on the bottom of Channel News Asia on Monday but could find no references till now which is strange. Maybe the government did not release it because it would hurt tourism.
