This study concluded on: first, The Bangkok Post, represents ISIS identical and just as dangerous as Muslim rebels in southern Thailand. ISIS issue be a way to marginalize the Muslim rebels in southern Thailand region of the country bordering the Malay Peninsula. Second, the Pattaya Mail purposely did not link the issue of ISIS in southern Thailand among the Muslim fighters because they would only weaken efforts to build integration and large associations vis a vis ISIS.
