So what is your source for saying "Thaksin Shinawatra was thrown out of power last week mainly because of the way he dealt with those Muslim uprisings"?

I think blueangel is a little confused about reality... and maybe spelling. Malay Insurgency doesn't equal Muslim Insuregency, rather the "Malay Insurgency" is about Malay seperatism/independence movement that happens to include some fighters that are Muslim... as well as Bhuddists and Christians.
blueangel is also missing the point about some of the attacks on Bhuddist temples - in that, while yes some have been done by Muslim fanatics, others have been done by Communists, militant Christians, and rival Bhuddist sects.
