Résumé en anglais
There have been several discussions taken placedinternationally 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 wellas to the rest of the world. Arguments from meetings are
the lacking of expertise in such fields as well as thelacking of respect to human rights and cultural rights in
practice. As consequence, interpretation on Islamic cultureoften 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 ongoingThailand Southern Unrest is a case of how a spirit of place
has been influenced by interpretation. Once there is anattempt to diminish a spirit of place of minority group’s
religious icons by a mainstream cultural identity, a selfprotectionto survive their culture takes place in several
forms. This paper attempts to make investigation onunnecessary conflicts that take place in the southern part
of Thailand by using interpretation of Krue Se Mosque tolink to other conflicts.
