The extremists, yes.

Indeed. Sorry, had 4 posts in a row. Thought that people could figure from the other posts that 'some' meant 'the extremists'.

Hey, many non-muslims really, really hate those mosqes with those loud prayers multiple times a day. But will they move? Nope. Everyone just has to be the way Muslims want it to be but never the other way around. 

Don't get me wrong tho. There are many friendly Muslims that I know. The thing is always those fanatics. 

Wouldn't it be funny if this 200 meter statue came equiped with loud speakers truning on 3 times a day that shows her listening to what she stands for as in listening to the cries and prayers of all in this world. I don't think the statue will last long either way if have speakers or not. It probably might be tumbled to the ground. The statue represents good, but not in these peoples minds.

How many Thai Muslim suicide attacks in Thailand - none?

Let's assume for the sake of argument that it's true that there have been no suicide attacks. I provided you with a search for stories about "insurgents", which are basically all stories about shooting attacks and explosions and such carried out by Muslims for reasons related to Islam. Are you trying to mount a defense for this by saying that none of the attacks were suicide attacks?

If you are unable to accept Thai Muslims

The statue in the OP planning to be built in a Thai Muslim area

It's as if you think that Muslims get to say what happens with regard to everything in "their area", not just the property they actually own. Why do they get this special claim over the property of others? Would Muslims respect the wishes of Buddhists and decline to build a mosque if Buddhists protested it being built in "their area"?

I believe they wouldn't be able to do so. i.e. you do know the Thai government contributes funding for the building and maintenance of mosques, including funding to translate the Koran from Arabic to Thai?

You seem to have minimal knowledge of Thai Muslim history;.before commenting further how about doing some research. e.g.
