Islamic Media on the Rise in Thailand

The number of Islamic media outlets in Thailand has been on the rise since the events of September 11, 2001 in the US.

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - The number of Islamic media outlets in Thailand has been on the rise since the events of September 11, 2001 in the US. Studies show that the number has significantly grown especially in the cyberspace.  Thai Muslims have had a significant presence in the cyberspace, setting up numerous Islamic news websites.  This shows their sense of responsibility and their eagerness to present the truth about Islam at a time when there is a wave of anti-Islamic propaganda in the world.  Islam is a minority faith in Thailand with statistics suggesting a population of some 1.2 million. Most Thai Muslims live in the southern parts of the country./129
