Since January 2004, the violence in the southern provinces of
Thailand has claimed more than 2,000 lives. The violence has also
adversely affected the local economy and quality of life in the
southern provinces. The atmosphere of fear and intimidation is
dividing the society on religious lines, with growing apprehension
that what began as a separatist nationalist conflict might well end
up as a clash between Buddhism and Islam. There is also a strong
potential for the Muslim insurgency in southern Thailand to get
sucked into the global jihad.Rohan Gunaratna and Arabinda Acharya
provide a short history of the conflict, which dates at least to
the early 1900s, as well as an analysis of factors contributing to
the most recent escalation of violence, which began in 2001 but
assumed an alarming proportion in 2004. The authors shed light on
the causes of the Southern Thaiconflict and examine its potential
to spread from Thailand to neighboring countries such as Malaysia,
Singapore, the Philippines, and Indonesia. Even more alarming, the
authors find that there is the possibility that this predominantly
localized conflict could escalate into an international Islamic
jihad. In addition to analyzing the insurgents' capabilities and
opportunities, the authors provide a critique of government
policies and make astute suggestions for resolving the conflict.
