#1 I'd check the Saudi Sex Tour operators. Bring twisted wahabis to Pattaya, get evidence of them with little girls, or even better, little boys.

Tell them we either you join us in jihad as a suicide bomber, or the folks back home get this nasty evicence.

Jihad absolves them of these sins.

This would be an effective recruiting drive.

#2 Here is a good article from May 2004 on the Arab radicalization of Thai muslims: Waking Up to the Terror Threat in Southern Thailand
With more than a dozen Arab teachers from across the Middle East and a seemingly endless flow of funds from Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Kuwait, the college has become the most obvious manifestation of a non-violent Arab threat to the traditionally moderate and tolerant Islamic traditions of southern Thailand (and the wider South-east Asian region).
...
When you enter the college's reception, you feel like you have suddenly been transported to the Gulf. The 1,500 students there dress in Arab-style clothes and are taught a strict interpretation of syariah law in the Arabic language.

The receptionist introduces himself, in perfect classical Arabic, as a graduate of Al-Azhar University in Cairo. The president, Dr Ismail Lutfi, is himself a graduate of a hardline Wahhabi institution, Riyadh's Imam Muhammad bin Saud Islamic University.

#3 Yep, there's nothing like a crackdown on violent jihadis to make them mad. And you don't want to make them mad, because they might get violent. No. Wait. More violent. Yeah. That's the ticket.
In fact, if you utterly crush their little effort, they'll become so mad that they'll do something that will be really, really violent. Or something.

#4 Why isn't Thailand doing a major kickass. Appeasement never, ever works with islam. That theory has been proven by 1400 years of jihad.

#6 The PULO works "hand-in-hand" with groups involved in the fighting, Lukman said, with his organization focused on the political arena although it also has fighters on the ground.

PULO or PLO? What's the difference?

#7 John Sobieski.. ahm, you may want to change the nick, else people may confuse us. Why you and not me? I have a sort of priority here by some 9 months or so. ;-)

Of course, I agree with your assessment 100%.

#8 I was wondering if that was you coming out of the closet, Sobiesky.
