Sondhi is incredibly well respected and didn't get where he is by chance. He started his career in the military fighting alongside US troops in Vietnam. He went on to head the Thai Army's Special Warfare Command. I know many people who have served under him and they have nothing but respect for the guy.A friend of mine who spends a lot of time in Thailand says pretty much the same thing. But he's a "dirty mohammedan mooselimb" and that is enough to condemn him in the eyes of some here.The posts on FR condeming him are laughable. The posters have no idea what in the world they are talking about. If there is anyone in Thailand who can put an end to the troubles in the South of the country, it is him.
Which, of course, is exactly what the Islamofascists want to happen.

But he's a "dirty mohammedan mooselimb"By "he" I meant General Sondhi. Not my source.

Yes, he's such a reasonable, moderate muslim, the first thing he wants to do is have a dialogue with the terrorist separatists.
The problem with Islam isn't just the "islamofascist" wing. It's the so-called "moderates" who enable and excuse fanaticism.
Where is the voice of moderate Islam? Are there any world figures whose word carries the weight of Osama and Co., or the Iranian mullahs, who are out there ripping and condemning the terrorists? If there are, it sure isn't getting reported, and muslims aren't out in the streets shouting their support of it.
So who the hell wants to hear your assessment of posters here who deride muslims for their widespread support for violence? Especially when you ignore the fact that posters here have questioned this general not merely because he's muslim, but because the first thing he wants to do after his coup is have a dialogue with the terrorists?
