@ Richardd: If you're not Thai then you have cranial rectal inversion. The land you claim that was "given" to the Bodes was not but the five provinces in the Thai south (Yala, Pattani Etc.) that are a hot spot was a Malay Sultanate that was "given" to the Thai's by the Brits in 1905 or there about. I worked as a teacher in Thailand and our Thai coordinator was a very educated woman and didn't even know that because it's strangely left out of the Thai textbooks. Why doesn't Thailand give those provinces back to Malaysia?Cambodia remembers its fallen Muslims

excerpt:

PHNOM PENH -

"In September 1975, 2,000 or so Cambodian Muslims picked up their swords and machetes and for several days fought off heavily armed Khmer Rouge soldiers at the village of Svay Khleang. The rebellion was sparked during the holy month of Ramadan in response to Khmer Rouge attempts to arrest Muslims for praying at their local mosque."

"The rebellion was defeated but won't soon be forgotten: a museum that will preserve the stories of Muslim survivors of the Khmer Rouge's genocidal reign of terror from 1975-79 is scheduled to open at the Mabarak mosque outside Phnom Penh later this year.
Between 100,000 and 400,000 Cham Muslims died under the Khmer Rouge regime, according to figures provided by the Documentation Centre of Cambodia, either from murder, starvation or disease. Most of the country's mosques were destroyed or desecrated during the Khmer Rouge's radical attempt to create a communist utopia."

"After the Khmer Rouge put down the Svay Khleang rebellion, the village's women were separated from the men and the revolt's leaders were sent to prison. Other villagers were deported to live in forested areas where many eventually died from malaria or starvation."

"The persecution of Muslims remains an understudied aspect of Cambodia's genocide experience - where as many as two million people perished - but the extent of that suffering is now coming to academic light. According to the Documentation Center of Cambodia (DCC), Muslims who were forcibly relocated from their communities died at a higher rate than any other ethnic or religious group."

If I were a Cambodian I would pray a Thailand stays between them and the Thai / Malay Muslims in the South.

You know what they say about "paybacks" !
