Lebih dari itu pemerintah Thailand juga menerapkan kebijakan asimilasi budaya dan menentukan Budha Thailand sebagai budaya dan identitas tunggal nasional. Otokrasi pemerintah Thailand tersebut menyebabkan munculnya berbagai kelompok perlawanan; antara lain Organisasi Pembebasan Pattani Bersatu (PULO) yang didirikan pada tahun 1968. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dari perspektif pemerintah Thailand, PULO adalah pemberontak, separatis dan teroris. Tapi dari perspektif Muslim Melayu di selatan, PULO adalah manifestasi dari Jihad, perjuangan dan kepahlawanan. Pada awalnya, PULO didirikan untuk melawan diskriminasi pemerintah Thailand terhadap Muslim Melayu di Pattani. Namun kemudian, orientasi gerakan PULO berubah menjadi gerakan politik lokal yang mencoba mendapatkan kewenangan untuk mengelola Pattani. Lebih dari itu secara lebih keras mereka juga mencoba mendirikan negara Pattani Darussalam melalui isu politik identitas untuk mendapatkan perhatian publik. Kata-kata Kunci: PULO, Jihad, Politik Lokal, Politik Identitas
