The consistency and the attachment of the Malay Muslims in the southern border provinces of Thailand to their own customs, traditions, language, culture and religion is an obstacle for an integrated policy. From the 1932 revolution, the integrated policy has mainly been formulated to take account of national security. Many acts relating to the Muslims such as the announcement of the 1946 Islamic Law on Family and Inheritance were formulated by the government officials who do not profoundly comprehend the social problems and background of the Malay Muslims so, the temptation to be patronizing became for “intervention” and “domination” as regards religious activities. This caused the conflicts and the following and on going problems. At the present, many government organizations are trying to unravel the problems leading to the conflicts between the government and the Malay Muslims. Setting up an Islamic teaching curriculum in the government schools, an attempt to help with “patronage” the Pondoks Institutions and a pollcy of hastily teaching Thai to the Malay Muslim youths are all complicated issues and risk being misunderstood, as well as and the government intervention in their internal affairs. This may lead to dissent rather than the unity which the policy makers hoped for.
