Re: Muslims. They are there, but seem to blend in. I had wondered how they would attract Buddhists who are so non confrontal that they either won’t answer a question, or even say, “I don’t know”. Or they will say just anything to save face. (really frustrating when seeking directions,) They are not suppose to kill even bugs. They do, but technically are not to take any life. They accept all faiths (at least on the surface) and have no cultural desire to hate, fight, and kill people who don’t believe like they do.. Anyway the Muslims have found a new recruit method. They are going into the villages and paying off debts for a commitment to be a Muslim. Can’t believe that will not cause them problems down the line when the Thai no longer remember the cancelled debt and miss their old way of life.
