THAILAND'S JUNTA - LED BY A MUSLIM - DECIDES TO ALLOW SHARIA

UK TIMES: Coup regime backs Islamic law -

Surayud Chulanont, Thailand’s Prime Minister [PM MY ASS! HE'S AN UNELECTED DICTATOR WHO HAS COME TO POWER THROUGH A MILITARY COUP D'ETAT which was led by General Sonthi - A MUSLIM!!], has publicly apologised for the former government’s hardline policies against an Islamic insurgency. In an unexpected initiative, Mr Chulanont also said that he would urge the limited use of Islamic law in the Muslim- majority south to settle some disputes, especially over inheritance and family affairs.

FT:

The dramatic gesture reflects the military’s concern over the deepening alienation of its Malay-Muslim minority, angry at its second-class treatment by the Buddhist-dominated Thai government.

THAI NATION:

In reaching out to the religious community, Surayud vowed to strengthen the institution of the Islamic courts, known as Sharia, and promised to work with clerics in producing more competent Islamic judges.

THIS REVEALS THE INHERENT FLAW OF ALL ACCOMMODATIONIST POLICIES AIMED AT QUELLING "MUSLIM UNREST":

IT'S PREDICATED ON THE BELIEF THAT MUSLIM UNREST IS A RESPONSE TO THEIR ALIENATION FROM THE WEST, AND THEIR DESIRE TO BECOME LESS ALIENATED AND MORE ASSIMILATED. IN FACT; THEY ARE AGAINST ASSIMILIATION, AND THEIR JIHAD IS - AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN - AIMED AT GETTING US TO ASSIMILATE OR CONVERT TO ISLAM.

THIS IS AS TRUE IN FRANCE AS IT IS IN THAILAND. AND IRAN AND IRAQ. THAT'S WHY WE MUSTN'T APPEASE THEM. AS THAILAND IS DOING. [More here from LGF, and here, a previous post from TAB.]
