Abstract
History of separatistic movement of the Malay community in Thailand comprises following stages: rise of fight in the first half of
XX century; shaping of the combat Muslim groups followed by armed clashes with the government’s forces after the WWII; standstill in the 1980s; local outbreak of terrorism with the global radicalisation of Islam. The major trigger of separatism of the Thailand’s Malays is nationalistic policy of official Bangkok aimed at their conversion into Buddhism and Thai cultural identity. Despite all its efforts in southern provinces the government has not yet solved the conflict and danger of military clashes in these parts still persists.
