While the three Southern provinces we once once part of
a Muslim sultanate, the orign of the Bangkok Muslim community
was a rather privilaged merchant class supported and eventually
related to the royal family. The Muslim enclaves elsewhere were
at one time “Jin Haw” (Chinese merchants who transported goods
to and from China by pack horses). Now Saudi funded Mosques and
Arab / Pakistani jihadists are recruiting and radicalizing like crazy.
