Did you get an answer to this? Is it a Muslim takeover? It's a coup led by a Muslim general. We'll see what that means.

Thank you. I had suspected it somehow. If it were any other identifiable group, the MSM would include it. But all deferential treatment is allowed, even in a coup, for Muslims (or I missed it somehow). Sigh. Thailand is largely Buddhist, except in the far south. I can't see good coming of this, but, we shall see.

Oh please. This coup has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH RELIGION. This has everything to do with people tired of corruption. Yes, Sondhi is Muslim but it is not an issue. Sondhi is a damn good guy. He fought alongside US troops in Vietnam with the Thai Volunteer Force. He used to be head of Thai Army Special Warfare. His credentials are impecable. Those who have served under him have nothing but good things to say about him. This is a non-issue.
