BANGKOK — Muslim activists asked the junta today to take legal action against a Buddhist group for spreading religious hate speech on social media.
The complaint, filed by a group calling itself Muslims Love Peace, against a Facebook page called Wake Up Buddhists, provided the latest example of the escalating tensions between the two faiths in recent years, expressed both online and offline.
Seri Madtohed, who filed the complaint along with a dozen other Muslims, said the Buddhist Facebook page’s allegations that Muslims are plotting to hijack important institutions and replace Buddhism as the main religion in Thailand risks creating hatred and division.
