Only The Khilafah Could Alleviate The Plights Of The Pattani Muslims

The oppression and violence to which Muslims in Pattani, an autonomous region affiliated to Thailand, are subjected is little known to the world public. But this terrible persecution in these fertile and wealthy lands in Southeast Asia has been going on for some 200 years.

The persecution of the Pattani Muslims began with the Rama dynasty that took over the Pattani administration in 1782. This dynasty made Bangkok the capital and established a centralized administration. It was then that the conflict between the Pattani Muslims and the local people known as the Siamese broke out. Many Pattani towns were burned down and ruined during the conflict, many military defensive positions were destroyed and some 4000 Pattani Muslims were taken captive by the Siamese.

The Siamese inflicted terrible tortures on the Muslims they took captive. They sewed their ears and legs together with a strong cord made of a kind of hemp. The Muslims they brought to Bangkok under that ghastly torture were put to work as slaves digging ditches with no tools or equipment. The sultan of Pattani was savagely killed by the Siamese at the end of the fighting. After the war, Pattani was divided into 7 regions by Thailand and forced to pay taxes and spent the next 70 years under total Siamese rule.

In 1909, the Siamese gave Pattani a kind of nominal independence, but the oppression by the Thai administration continued at the same pace as before. The Muslim Pattani rose up time and time again for full independence, but were savagely put down every time. There was a huge increase in migration to Malaysia at that time.

The Thai administration followed a policy of pressure and assimilation aimed at destroying the Islamic identity of the Pattani people. The first measure was to completely ban the activities of Muslim educational institutions in 1932. In 1944, a wide-ranging campaign of annihilation was initiated, with the leaders of the Pattani Muslims and their families being savagely slaughtered by Buddhists. It was forbidden to obey Islamic laws or engage in Islamic worship, while Buddhist beliefs were also imposed on the people. Buddhism was forcibly taught in schools, and Muslim students were even forced to act according to Buddhist teachings.

The Thai administration also perpetrated terrible mass killings of Muslims at various times. In 1944, 125 Muslim families were burned alive in the Belukar Samak region alone. The Thai administration’s policies of assimilation manifested themselves in all spheres of life. Many mosques in Pattani were torn down.

On the other hand, Buddhists were encouraged to migrate to the Pattani region within the framework of this policy of assimilation, and the ethnic balance of the population was altered. The largest statue of Buddha in Thailand was erected in Pattani. The Muslim population was forced to worship statues of Buddha. Some of those who refused were martyred and thrown into the Kota River. Thousands of Pattani people were subjected to inhuman tortures. Eminent Muslim scholars were martyred for suspicious reasons in health institutions established by the Thai regime and unsolved killings and disappearances became part of the Pattani people’s daily lives.

Today, Muslims are deprived of all political and cultural rights in Pattani, which has an Islamic population of some 5 million. The population is subjected to attacks by Thai troops on an almost daily basis. According to information from leading Pattani Muslims, an average of 7 or 8 Pattanis are martyred by Thai troops every day. Those who are not martyred are either taken off to concentration camps or else disappear, never to be heard of again. Many people are forced to leave their homes, and those who object to enforced migration are martyred. There are some 30,000 widows and 40,000 orphaned children in Pattani, where the great majority of women have been raped, where mosques are demolished and Muslims are tormented by pigs being released into their homes and fields. More than 400 people have disappeared under the martial law enforced over the last 3 years, some 2300 have been martyred and another 4000 detained for illegal reasons. There are currently 30,000 people being held in concentration camps. Conditions in these camps have been described as follows in the press:

Most of the prisoners held naked in the camp bear the signs of blows on their bodies, and the Pattani detainees appear exhausted, weak and sorrowful. In addition, soldiers have written numbers on the detainees’ bodies. When the Thai troops want to address the Pattani detainees they use these numbers instead of calling them by name. Female Pattani detainees are mainly held in a concentration camp near Galuvo Village, affiliated to Narativa. The Pattanis say that women in this camp, which holds more than 100 female prisoners, are systematically raped by the soldiers.

It is forbidden for Muslims to use Islamic names, and some have even been forced to adopt names with pagan meanings. The bans on communications make it difficult for our Pattani Muslim brothers to tell the world of this persecution. The foreign press is forbidden to enter the region and take pictures, while public use of the internet is severely restricted.

Every Muslims Has a Responsibility to Strive for the Liberation of Our Pattani Brothers

Many people in the Islamic world may be unaware of what is taking place in Pattani. But the fact is that our Pattani brothers are trying to survive under severe oppression.

The whole Islamic world has a responsibility to strive on behalf of the poor women, children and the elderly literally held captive in Pattani, of the tortured, of those Muslims whose places of worship are destroyed, and of the innocent people ruthlessly forced to labor in the concentration camps. Allah reveals how Muslims have a duty to strive on behalf of those who are wronged in verse 75 of Surat an-Nisa’:

"What reason could you have for not fighting in the Way of Allah – for those men, women and children who are oppressed and say, ‘Our Lord, take us out of this city whose inhabitants are wrongdoers! Give us a protector from You! Give us a helper from You!’?"

I know this horror well. My family escaped Nazi Germany. I have photographs that my grandfather took IN GERMANY of piles of the dead, the same dead that some in the world still deny. They say that the Holocost never took place.


I have NOT read the entire thing and I'm just copy/pasting small parts.....

According to Wikipedia:
History-
A separatist movement now exists, which after being dormant for many years erupted again in 2004. The movement is extremely violent, committing acts such as murdering members of the Buddhist minority, burning public schools, mining roads and ambushing military and police units. Muslims who cooperate with Thai authorities including Thai schooling are also considered fair game for attack.

South Thailand insurgency-
In July 2005 the Prime Minister of Thailand, Thaksin Shinawatra, assumed wide-ranging emergency powers to deal with the insurgency. In September 2006, Army Commander Sonthi Boonyaratkalin, a Muslim, was granted an extraordinary increase in executive powers to combat the unrest.[6]

Identity of insurgency

A resurgence in violence by Pattani guerrilla groups began in 2001. The identity of the actors pushing conflict remains mostly obscure. Many local and regional experts have implicated the region's traditional separatist groups, such as PULO, BRN and GMIP, and particularly the BRN-Coordinate (a faction of BRN) and its alleged armed wing the Ronda Kumpulan Kecil (RKK).[15] Others suggested the violence occurred under the influence of foreign Islamist groups such as al-Qaeda and Jemaah Islamiyah, but since their modus operandi – attacking army depots and schools – is not a similar MO to other groups attacking Western targets, most view the connections as weak.[16]

Some reports suggest that a number of Pattani Muslims have received training at al-Qaeda centres in Pakistan, though many experts believe, to the contrary, that the Pattani guerrilla movements have little or nothing to do with global jihadism. Others have claimed that the insurgents have forged links with groups such as the religious-nationalist Moro Islamic Liberation Front in the Philippines and the quasi-secular Free Aceh Movement (GAM) in Indonesia.

At first, the government blamed the attacks on "bandits," and indeed many outside observers believed that local clan, commercial or criminal rivalries did play some part in the violence in the region. In July 2002, after some 14 policemen died in separate attacks over span of seven months, Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra publicly denied the role of religion in the attacks, and was quoted as saying he did not "think religion was the cause of the problems down there because several of the policemen killed were Muslim" [17]. Interior Minister Purachai Piemsomboon attributed the attacks on the police to the issue of drug control, as the "police are making serious efforts to make arrests over drugs trafficking."

In 2002, Shinawatra stated, "There's no separatism, no ideological terrorists, just common bandits." By 2004 he had reversed his position, and has come to regard the insurgency as a local front in the global War on Terrorism. Martial law was instituted in Pattani, Yala and Narathiwat in January 2004.[18]

In 2005, Bangkok Senator Sophon Supapong accused the United States of being the mastermind behind bombings in Hat Yai. His accusations were seconded by Perayot Rahimmula, Democratic MP and professor at Prince of Songkhla University (Pattani campus), though they could provide no convincing evidence to back up their accusation.[19]

In 2006, Thai Army Chief Sonthi Boonyaratglin, himself a Muslim, suggested that former communist insurgents might be playing a role in the unrest.[20] However, this is unlikely in that many former communists were incorporated into the Thai Rak Thai Party and hence would have provided other communists with a voice. Governors of the southern provinces showed some skepticism over his suggestion, but investigated the connection.

A striking aspect of the South Thailand insurgency is the anonymity of the people behind it and the absence of concrete demands. Thailand held relatively free elections in February 2005, and no secessionist candidates contested the results in the south. However, requests of cultural and religious freedom and the right to use the Yawi language have been presented numerous times. In July, the chairman of the Narathiwat Islamic Committee was quoted as saying, "The attacks look like they are well-organized, but we do not know what group of people is behind them."

Since the 2006 coup that replaced Thaksin, the Thai government has taken a more conciliatory approach to the insurgency, avoiding excessive use of force and beginning negotiations with known separatist groups. However, violence has escalated. This likely backs the assertion that there are several groups involved in the violence, few of whom have been placated by the government's change of strategy.
