#1 Denaturalize the Thai Muslims - I'm sure the Malaysians should have no problem accepting them as citizens, since they care so much about their foreign Muslim brethren. Maybe that will solve the problem - the entire Muslim population of Thailand can resettle in Malaysia.

#2 Muslims have long complained of discrimination and of being made to feel they are not equal to other Thai citizens.

Which is why they started beheading people...

#5 Moslems don't feel they are the equal of other in Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, either. It's not equality they want.

#7 The origami - or carrot - phase, was heavily advertised. The stick phase involves abduction, torture, summary execution and cadaver disposal (of suspected terrorists). You won't hear much about it up front - but this is the back end of it - people related to the terrorists will run for their lives. It ain't pretty, but brutal suppression generally works - it worked for Thailand in the past - as it has worked for communist and non-communist regimes* alike. It's a question of how squeamish the rulers are.

* Indonesia reputedly slaughtered millions of communists and sympathizers in the 1960's - communism hasn't been a problem since. China is said to have tortured and executed the male relatives of suspected Muslim terrorists, as well as their respective mullahs - Islamic terrorists aren't a huge problem there either.

#8 Yeah, well, having your local mullah tortured to death and dumped in a garbage heap does tend to put one off of religion. At least public religion.

They're not too nice to other religions either, I understand, and the Tai Chi folks are apparently the next best thing to Cacodemons to the ChiCom high command...
