Thailand is about 4% Muslim, most Thai Muslims do live in the far south, near the Malaysian border. There has been some tension between the Muslim community and the government, recently some violence.

I don't know anything about Thai Muslims in Muay Thai.

There are muslims in Thailand but not like Malyasia!

Would it be that you want to visit Thailand but afaraid of nasty Muslims?

no, i like muslims alot actually and have been growing more and more interested in learning about islam. the reason i ask is because i wanted to know if islam and muay thai had any kind of relation to one another. muay thai has usually been associated with buddhism, so i was wondering if islam and muslims have any role in muay thai.

I think islam and muslims have a stronger role in silat.

I am a Muslim (non observant though) and I have been training in Muay Thai for more than 17 years. As far as I know I have never heard or knew Muay Thai and Islam have any sort of connection.
