Muslims in Thailand:

One of those countries is Thailand, located in Southeast Asia. It is bordered with Laos and Cambodia to the east, and the Gulf of Thailand and Malaysia to the south. It is bounded with the Andaman Sea and Myanmar (Burma) to the west. Thailand was known in the past as "Siam" and the proportion of Muslims in Thailand has reached 25%.

Islam was introduced to Thailand in early times, like the rest of East and Southeast Asia, and it had a notable effect on the Buddhist people of Thailand. Those who embraced Islam among the people of Siam were called "Samsams”. Some tribes that were living in this region converted to Islam as well. It is said that the Muslim Arab and Persian traders brought Islam to these areas from the fourth century AH - the tenth century AD.

However, the most significant expansion of Islam in this region was due to the influx of migrants from the people of Malaya (present day Malaysia), which began in the eighth century AH - fourteenth century AD.
Thailand is considered an occupying state as it colonizes Pattani, which was a Muslim country for a long time. Therefore, the methods that Thailand uses to fight Muslims are not much different from those of the colonial crusades against Africa, Asia and other Muslim countries.
