#1 They better watch their wallets, and everything else for that matter. The Cambodians will strip 'em right down to the bone and have 'em blaming each other...

#2 Yet another syncretic, mystical islamic community under pressure from the "purists" (IE Wahabis). ANd this one weakened by the Communists first. More of the Saudi effort to transform the Islamic world after their own image. Has Steve Schwartz gotten hold of this yet?? (on a related note, anyone noticed Saudi is welching on their commitment to provide $50 million to help Afgan rebuild the Kabul-Kandahar-Herat raod - now its just $30 million, and its a loan instead of a gift. Saudi just cant affrod to help rebuild Afganistan - all their money is going to - er, Uhmm, maybe better not to say where their money is going)

#3 Hey, Bjorn? Looking back on it, when you were making a career choice, do you think you might re-evaluate your pick of "anthropologist who is studying Cambodian Islam"? And I'd be real wary of this "They are very vulnerable, and a lot of people are coming into Cambodia and telling them how to change." There were some very impressive skull piles the last time that happened....
