    South violence enters 9th year

    News, Published on 05/01/2012

    » Eight years ago yesterday, Islamic insurgents launched a surprise raid on an armoury in Narathiwat and stole 413 firearms, most of them M16 assault rifles. That daring raid on Jan 4, 2004 marked the start of a renewed insurgency by a new breed of hardcore militants which, sadly, has dragged on till today with no sign of abating, whether in terms of intensity or ruthlessness.

    Demilitarising Muslim politics

    News, Published on 27/01/2012

    All men are not created equal

    News, Voranai Vanijaka, Published on 29/01/2012

    » If a referendum were to be held on the lese majeste law _ Article 112 of the Criminal Code _ the overwhelming majority of people would be in favour of it. They would say there is no need for an amendment, and that it definitely should not be abolished.

The scene at Thammasat University on Thursday was distressing, as anti-Nitirat alumni exalted morality against knowledge, along the way confusing noise with argument and equating what's loud with what's right. It almost turned sinister when a small band of Nitirat supporters showed up, placards ready, and a mini face-off ensued.
