I think the Muslims have backed themselves into a corner of proof this time. Year after year, country after country, Muslim leaders tell us that it's the fault of [insert other race/religion here, depending on region] for all the civil unrest. They blame the Isrealis, they blame Indians, Pakistanis, Kurds, Russians, and of course, Christians. Time and again, there is a slight sliver of plausability in their agruments, since every one of the races or religions they blame have a history of bloodshed. You know that the Isrealis and Christians are more than capable of slaughtering and burning.

But this time, the civil unrest is in Thailand, which is predominantly Buddhist, with a small minority of Muslims. And there is civil unrest.

"Senior Thai officials, including Interior Minister Wan Muhamad Noor Matha who is himself a Muslim, have also expressed concern that Islamic schools in the south could be breeding grounds for militancy."

They have no choice but to admit fault, because I sincerely doubt the trouble is the Buddhists. That would be like blaming the Quakers!
