As a result of the Thai government’s decision to make the Southern Thailand conflict as part of the ‘War on Terrorism’ we have seen unimaginable crimes being committed against our brothers and sisters in Southern Thailand. However, the worse crime which has been committed in regards to the conflict in Southern Thailand is the crime of silence. The perpetrators of this crime are none other than each and every one of you. In fact if you wanted to see the face of those who have committed this crime you would have to do nothing more then look into mirror. All of us with the exception of very few are guilty of this crime of silence. We have been silent in regards to the conflict in Southern Thailand and have shown very little vocal and moral support for our brothers and sisters involved.
When we speak out against injustice of our brothers and sisters it must be universal. We must move towards a universal political movement, not limited to a specific region. As I had already stated in the introduction of this article, the conflict in Southern Thailand has made the headlines in various media outlets around the world. Each one filled with the usual anti-Islamist rhetoric that we have heard so much of. It is the duty of each and every one of us that we counter this rhetoric with facts and accurate political analysis. To spread awareness and refute the lies of the enemies of Islam is just as important as picking up a gun or grenade and silencing them through other means. My advice to our brothers and sisters out there is to educate themselves on the political history and current condition of each and every Muslim region. Then to create an outlet delivering news, political analysis, and intellectual reviews of the current events taking place in those regions in order to crush the lies and rhetoric of Neo-Imperialists. All in pursuit of Allah’s pleasure.
