The “separatist movement” is an Islamic jihad to detach the predominantly Muslim southern region of Thailand from the Buddhist rest of the country.
“ISOC reveals motive behind Songkhla attack that killed one novice monk and injured two others,” Nation Thailand, April 23, 2025 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
The Internal Security Operations Command (ISOC) has revealed the underlying cause behind the recent shooting that targeted Buddhist monks and novices in Saba Yoi district, Songkhla province, resulting in the death of one novice and injuries to two others.
The attack occurred on Tuesday (April 22) morning, when assailants opened fire on a 4-door pickup truck driven by Pol Lt Watthana Chumapan, a police officer from Saba Yoi Police Station. The vehicle was transporting six monks and novices on their morning alms round.
Novice monk Wongsakorn, 16, Watthana’s son, succumbed to his injuries, while novice monk Phokanit, 12, and senior monk Boonsong, 70, sustained minor injuries.
Lt Gen Surathep Nukaew, Director of Coordination Centre 5 under ISOC, on Wednesday revealed that the shooting could be linked to a recent wave of violence targeting civilians in the Southern region.
According to Surathep, the violence stems from the April 18 shooting of Abdulroning Latheh, a former ustaz (Islamic teacher), in Su-Ngai Kolok district, Narathiwat province. Following his death, misinformation spread rapidly through both word-of-mouth and online channels associated with separatist movements, alleging state involvement due to Latheh’s past record with security agencies.
“After Latheh was shot, false narratives quickly emerged blaming the authorities,” explained Surathep. “This misinformation campaign was part of an internal rift within the BRN separatist movement — a power struggle between old and new leadership factions. The conflict led to retaliatory attacks, particularly targeting Buddhists, as a provocative response.”…

Muslims always have a problem with every body in every corner of the world. But, it is always non muslims’ fault, according to muslims and the left.
If you believe that it is the non muslims’ fault, then you are part of the problem.

Thankfully no muslims where killed or harmed so the western leaders won’t send arms and troops tp protect and feed the poor depressed and starving muslim. The other religions and men women and children are on their own.

“The “separatist movement” is an Islamic jihad to detach the predominantly Muslim southern region of Thailand from the Buddhist rest of the country.”
This will eventually happen to all non-Muslim host-countries as the leftwing elites continue to build-up a predominantly Muslim Illegal presence with their continues import and support of the illegal Muslim migration.

The left loves to go on about Empires and how evil they are or were but they never say anything about the Islamic empire. What are Muslims doing in a country thousands of miles away from Arabia? The colonial govts. returned their colonies to their peoples, but the Muslims never give anything back once they get their hands on it.
