I've never heard of survey about that in Malaysia...

but generally, Malaysian Muslims believe that a great majority of Thai Malay Muslims want to live under Thailand... if you see the current status there those militants killed Muslim clerics, Muslim teachers, muslim students too..

And many people know that these militants are not seperatists or islamists... they're just gangsters. that's why they killed lots of Muslim religious teachers..

But in the same time, Thailand govt should give more freedom to the Malays to express themselves whether as Malay Speaking Malays or as Siamized Malays. Thai government is very supportive of propagation of Islam but discriminate the rights of Malays to speak their language.

There are hundreds of thousands of Malaysians that have Thai ancestry (including me) living mostly in the northern states, a great majority of us picked up Malay as our first language and adapted Malay cutures... but there are like 50,000 of us that still using Thai language ... and it's supported by Malaysian government..... and proudly we call Malaysia as home.

Regarding to the Moros in the southern Philippines, there are like 800,000 of them living in the state of Sabah, many got Permanent Residency and some obtained Malaysian citizenship..... Malaysian Muslims dont support Abu Sayyaf as they came to Malaysian area and kidnapped people... I think, just like Thailand... most Malaysian muslims prefer the Moros to be under the Philippines with no more discrimination against them.
 
from the malaysians i have interacted with, i would agree - they are basically very tolerant people. i guess there really aren't any other muslim countries with such a large group of non-muslims.
the survey results were quite a confusing mix!
this one is intriguing:
Sex? What's that? - 0.35%

There is a large Tamil community in Malaysia, although they are traditionally hindu, they are converting in large numbers to Islam by the grace of Allah.

Actually the Labbais (Tamil Muslims) and the Malabaris (Malayalee Muslims) migrated to Malaysia during British period.. in fact the first mosque built in Georgetown, Penang was built by them... as most of them intermarried with Malay girls... they created a very unique community called "Mamak" I think there are 200,000 of them all over Malaysia, mostly in Penang. Many still use Tamil language as their first language.

There are conversions of Tamil hindus to Islam in Malaysia, but not as huge as the Chinese converts. We have Islamic programmes in Tamil Language on TV... and I've heard of Azaan and Islamic songs on Tamil Radio too..

Subhan Allah. From personal experience i know that tamils are very nice and humble people, and they have a very respectful and traditional culture. I always pray that may Allah make the tamils into a Muslim nation, they will be a valuable part of our ummah. ameen.

My uncle is from southern Thailand with Malaysian citizenship. Every year he will go there with his children to visit his relatives there.

He said it is horible there, the authority will shoot the civilians without thinking twice if they assume you're drug addict or terrorist. Military is everywhere, and the muslims are scared to death. It is surprising when you see in media saying the muslims rebel....cause the muslims there are so nice and humble, and don't even talk in a harsh words. They are so friendly and i think they are so much nicer compared to the Malaysian :X

In my opinion, the muslim started rebel because of the previous event where the military shoot and hurt the civilians without any investigation. Hundreds muslim men and died, but did the authority care about them? well...unfortunately not.

But the trucks there are cheap... sorry off topic.

they're triad members, gangsters, drug dealers etc. But thanks to American war on terror.... they use "Islam" to obtain independent from Thailand... at first they kill Buddhists... and now Muslims too... including religious scholars...

I think the Patani Malay immigrants are the most acceptable immigrant group in Malaysia.... they're so humble and friendly.

We have to blame politicians and military for Tak Bai incident...

in the 80s there were Muslim rebels... but in the 90s Pattani Malays have good relationship with the government, and there are no more rebellions... but after 9/11 suddenly southern thailand became chaotic..... because of this stupid gangsters.... and military are influenced by this war on terror ... caught Muslim scholars .. and then Tak Bai happened....

The Thais... both Buddhists and Muslims could only trust one person in Thailand - THE KING.

I'm sad of the conditions of 4,000,000 Muslims living in the south... but remember there are 2,000,000 Muslims living in the central and other areas in Thailand ... and they are successfull people and respectable by other religious group.... in fact thousands of people converted to Islam in Bangkok.

Do you realise that when the crisis in southern Thailand started there are lots of killings happened in Malaysia using guns? Where do you think the guns come from?

And also lots of drugs and prostitutes here.... from where they come from?

THAILAND!!!!

If those drug dealers, arm dealers want their business to be successful ... they have to find some group to be blamed for...

And there is a global war on Muslim terrorists declared by GW Bush.... so they made the military chaing the Islamists here and there.... and those military have no time to take care about those smugglers....

And bad Malaysian gangsters need guns, drugs and prostitutes.... by creating chaotic environment in southern thailand nobody would be looking into their smuggling business.
