Don't question her or you'll get reported!

And I agree it's stupid - it would be like somebody asking me to explain Catholicism in a post about Tanzania.

And yet, you have still failed to come up with support for your (unsupportable) statement that "Thaksin Shinawatra was thrown out of power last week mainly because of the way he dealt with those Muslim uprisings." Quite true that the articles you cite describe the way that Thaksion dealt with the Malay insurgency as part of the reason for dissatisfaction with Thaksin. I still don't see a single one that says it was the main reason for the coup, and I can point to many other reasons that are listed more prominently. What I do seem to see is a desire to blame Islamic fundamentalists-terrorists-jihadists regardless.

Opi has answered your questions in effect by telling you that they aren't worth answering, especially (need I say it again) in an Internet forum thread about Thailand and when those questions appear to be derived from reliance on anti-Islamic websites and to indicate an inclination to believe the worst about Islam, regardless of what Opi or anyone else might say.
