She was not the confrontations that erupted a day of 28 - 4 - 2004 between the Thai securities forces and Muslim gunmen they belong to ( a movement the united Ftani liberation Polo ) in Ftani city in south of Thailand ( Batni as the western media names it ) and that through it 108 of the Muslim a young man was killed, except a ring from the rings of the conflict between the Muslims of Thailand demanding the separation and the improvement of their bad living states in the South .


And not is the violence not justified that the Thai securities forces resorted towards the armed Muslim young man who attacked police stations because of the arbitrary security practices against the region Muslims, to bombardment limit of 30 of them to they were fortified inside a mosque and destroyed it on their remains, except an expression of a state from the severe panic on the part of the Buddhist government towards the growth of the role of the Islamic current in this southern region and the benefiting from the atmospheres of the international runner against the Muslims for the repression of any rebellion or a separation the region Muslims seeks it .


Then Ftani region that falls between Thailand and Malaysia and includes 18 % of Thailand citizens ( about 5 - 8 millions Muslims ) that becomes active by him since tens Islamic movement years a strong calls for the establishment of an Islamic state that includes regions ( Yala and Patani and Narathiwat ) with the Muslim majority in the South, and there skirmishes continuous between the Buddhist Thai government and these Muslims arrives to the limit of the flagrant violations to their rights and their torturing .


And happened before that international organizations issued reports about the persecution of Ftani 's Muslims, was their last a report to the rightful group of Human Rights Watch its headquarters is New York in it Thailand called for a start an investigation in what it named the necessity of the high level from the fatal power in the last events where eyewitnesses confirmed that they was possible the settlement of the matter is peacefully and the surrender of the attackers or the abortion of the attack that the securities forces from spies in advance knew of, but the government chose the power style and they destroyed a spherical mosque Si at the top of the Muslims and gathered two complete armored groups in the region for the terrorism of the Muslims .

The tourism is the clash secret !

And regions in south of Thailand are distinguished that it is from the important tourist regions in the countries and western tourists go to them with abundance specially that it falls on the limits with Malaysia the oldest tigers Asia a economic progress, but this tourism relates to the spread of the vice and the trade of the sex that spreads in Thailand in an epidemic way, as relates to hundreds of pubs and the nightclubs that destroy the life of the region Muslims and contradicts the teachings of their religion .


And Ftani ( Polo ) 's liberation movement has sought several times the opposition of this destructive tourism, and the incitement of statement attributed to the Islamic Polo movement - and she is an abridgement to organization of the liberation of the united Patani - Malay nation is in south of Thailand and the Muslims in the countries areas on following the Islamic teachings .


And for example he warned the statement of its spreading the movement site on the Internet 7 may 2004 the Muslims from going places like the bars and the nightclubs and the concerts and requested from them a substitution from that staying in their houses or in the mosques, and it said the statement : if you follow these instructions, you will live in a happiness .


And it appears that the rise of the vice spread is in the Muslim region and the non turn of the government or its consideration the Muslims feelings there that was behind resorting young man from the liberation movement to the last attack on several police stations, the matter that required this violent answer on the part of the Thai army the fear of the collapse of the industry of the tourism in this important region that considers a good tourist place but the region Muslims do not benefit from it .


And several western governments have warned their citizens of the travel to the southern regions from Thailand after these last confrontations, what confirms that the last battle came is on the tourism background in the region despite the attempts of the government there the description of the attackers that they are a group of the thieves and the ways sector, like Taksin Shinawatra 's declaration the Prime Minister : the target from the attack was the theft of the securities forces weapons to their resale !!.

Series of the continuous confrontations

And that the last confrontations are the more dangerous of these confrontations between the Thai army and the region Muslims because of the killing of 108 of the Muslims and an injury and the detention of others, then she not is she the first and not is last because of the historical roots to the problem and that extends to the kingdom of the Islamic Ftani that arose in the eighth century A.H. .


He has preceded this close other confrontations in January 2004, where clashes erupted be not known their reasons led to the fall of about 60 dead in the southern delivered regions parallel to Malaysia, where the Thai army troops launched the campaign of wide detentions that included tens delivered to the suspicion in their relation by terrorists, and they put them under arrest without a trial and he is what raised the anger of the Muslims in the south .


Also Thailand detained a day of 11 - 8 - 2003 the top leader by the Asian Islamic group Radwan Bin Essam Addin known as the Hanbali that Washington accuses that it is the mastermind for the explosions of my mind in October is 2002 and Fndq Mariot in Djakarta in August 2003, and that coincided with raid operations that included a number of the mosques and the schools and a number of the remote villages, and she is the operations that raised a severe dissatisfaction between the Muslims there .


And he has announced that Arifin Ghmah committee president ( Yala ) dominated the Islamic, in a press conference that he held recently, that what the tension in the region supports he is the operations of search and inspection that the authorities launch in the schools and the Islamic buildings searching for the persons that wears white clothes and grow their beards, as a number of the Muslims from the Malaysian border state of Kelantan near to Thailand mentioned that many of the leaders of the Muslims in Thailand showed their fears on their personal security, and sought recently the resorting to Malaysia .


And the nobles of the region of allegations Ftani have denied the government about the presence of terrorists and said : it is an argument and a chance all of the governments that they have a Muslim minority followed it ( like Philippines and China and other ) for the getting rid of the Islamic liberation movements in these regions under the guise of a slogan ( the fight of the terrorism ) that the United States of America raised !


And in this regard in a region in south of Thailand his saying was been informed from the resident the Muslim Thai writer Mansour Saleh : there are no terrorists in south of Thailand .. As there are no persons close to the rule organizations or the Islamic group - that do not name by the Islamic group by any means - in the region .


And Saleh added that it is not all of the Muslims ( in Thailand ) fighters, but there who they are actually involved in a local organization that called the militants and they are group on the more perfect of the readiness for the death for the sake of the separation case .. And we he does not enable us that we stop that inclination as long as that it there is no the good deal from the development that helps the south Muslims in the progress .


And the matter increased the badness of the spread of nightclubs and pubs and the brothels in a time feels in it Thailand Muslims with the anger with the non recognition of the country officially by their language and their culture the Warqithm of the Islamic Malawian is in spite of a more than passage 102 years on the inclusion of Thailand government ( Siam kingdom at that time ), the Islamic Patani kingdom ( Ftani ) ( in south of Thailand ) to it in year 1902 .

The Muslims from Ftani kingdom are to a minority !

And Ftani region falls between Malaysia and Thailand and returns that arrive its citizens to the Muslim group Almlaiwea, and they speak the language Almlaiwea and write it until now by Arab letters because of their Arab origins since emergence of the kingdom of the Islamic Ftani in the eighth century A.H. .
And the historical references say that the Islam arrived to Ftani by means of the trade in the fifth century A.H. and he started the growth until the region all became Islamic and under the rule of the Muslims in the eighth century A.H. and they became Ftani a pure Islamic and independent kingdom .


And when the crusade Portuguese occupied Thailand they insinuated to Thailand leaders the inevitability of Ftani 's occupation for the eradication of the Islam sultanate by it and for the swallow of its wealths then Altailandon carried out Ftani 's occupation a year of 917 ه but they are what soon that they got out of it after a while under the pressure of the Islamic resistance .


And with the spread of the English occupation in the Asian region, the English entered Thailand and Ftani, and suppressed by their role Ftani kingdom and its Muslims, and weakened the region which the way in front of Thailand kingdom ( Siam kingdom ) for Ftani 's inclusion officially for it in year 1320 paved ه ( 1902 after Christ ) after a long series of the revolutions and the brave resistance from the Muslims and this nominative was a declaration of a new time in the conflict between the Muslims and their Buddhist enemies in Thailand .


And the historical references point that Ftani region did not join easily and is submitted to Thailand kingdom except with an iron fist, where they erupted many of the revolutions that Muslim princes led their last is the revolution of prince Abdelcader, and he is the last kings Ftani Muslim, that presented the command of the revolution in year 1321 ه after a year of one only from the nominative and was exposed to the detention and the revolution erupted by Ftani following that, but the Thais suppressed it with extreme the brutality with a strong aid from the English .


And when he turned the referee my king bestowed to two publics after the military coup in year 1933 DAY ( in year 1351 ه ) the one that overthrew the monarchy and circulated that do Ftani they played a role in its success for the getting rid of the royal regime that persecuted them, and the Muslims of the four Islamic regions sought ( then a suspicious - they wandered - Satol - in Nghara ) with the Muslim majority in south of Thailand for the asking for several rights for them in a petition they offered it to the new government that was more prominent what in it :


1- The appointment of a single ruler on the four delivered departments by means of the countries people and forms a Muslim .


2- 80 % of the two government officials believes in Ftani by the Islam .


3- If the language is Almlaiwea she the education language by the schools and the official language to Ftani 's family .


4- The application of Islamic Sharia .


5- The formation of the council of my highest Islam for the driving of the Muslims affairs .


But she came to the wind by what the Muslims do not desire and the military rule turned to a bitter reality to the Muslims it is not because it neglected their demands, but it sought the metamorphosis of their identity totally and their solution inside the country, where the general ( Snqram ) who undertook the authority in Thailand issued decisions by the change of the names delivered to a Thai and the prevention of the distinguished white garment wearing to the Muslims and the head cover to the women, and the prohibition of the language use is Almlaiwea with the Arab letters, and closed the doors of schools and universities in front of Alftaniin and also the governmental positions and the army and the police, and closed the mosques and the mosques and the notification unlawful and the announcement of the Islam .


And on the Muslim region several revolutions and attempts on the part of the Muslims for the re- asking by their rights have come in succession the authorities faced them there with the repression and the detention to all who led the asking for these rights like the movement of hajji Mohammad Solong one of the Muslim scientists by Ftani who a work demanded the non bringing crops and Ftani 's sources their outside and their consumption are locally and it was detained and judged on it by three years, then killed it !.


And therefore the uprising of the Muslim last young man and the attack of police stations were not only part of the attempt of the sights drawing to the region Muslims case that became not demanding the separation by an amount what demand the less necessary human rights the miserable from them, likened their right in the learning of their religion and the learning by their languages Almlawea and the consideration of their habits and their Islamic traditions .


And the region Muslims will not calm down in spite of the periodic repression of them and the attempts of their case 's settlement totally, and will continue in their struggle for the sake of the getting of their rights .
