Ten killed in Thai mosque attack

One of the major problems in Thailand is the never ending conflict between the Thai Muslim population and Thai militants. Most recently was the attack on a Thai mosque in the Narathiwat province. A group of militants opened fire on 50 worshippers in a mosque during evening prayers, and ended up killing ten of the worshipers. This is not the only violence that Narathiwat has seen in the past week. Three other attacks have killed three people. Earlier in the day there were also other attacks in the neighboring Rueso district where several soldiers were injured. However it is important to remember that both sides are equally responsible for the 3,700+ deaths in the last 5 years. There have been previous reports of attacks near the Malaysian borders that have been blamed on Muslim insurgents.
The Muslim vs. Thai insurgent conflict has been going on and has become an important part of Thai history. Because the size of the Muslim population is so small compared to the Thai population that the conflicts between the two groups is almost inevitable. Another cause for the conflict is the anti government groups that are on the rise. Often times the Muslims tend target those who are close with the government. The Muslims also try to force the Buddhists from the country and make it an Islamic country.
