Abstract (in English)

There have been several discussions taken placed internationally about the Islamic world. The prominent figure, Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC) organises conference to stimulate interests and understanding between people in Islamic societies as well as to the rest of the world. Arguments from meetings are the lacking of expertise in such fields as well as the lacking of respect to human rights and cultural rights in practice. As consequence, interpretation on Islamic culture often being neglected, misinterpreted or swept out by a mainstream cultural identity. The massacre of thirty Muslims at Krue Se Mosque by Thai military men in 2004 and the ongoing Thailand Southern Unrest is a case of how a spirit of place has been influenced by interpretation. Once there is an attempt to diminish a spirit of place of minority group’s religious icons by a mainstream cultural identity, a selfprotection to survive their culture takes place in several forms. This paper attempts to make investigation on unnecessary conflicts that take place in the southern part of Thailand by using interpretation of Krue Se Mosque to link to other conflicts.
