The role of Islamic education in building of Islamic public value of multicultural citizenship in southern Thailand

Religion-based value administration has been an integral part of all societies since ancient historical periods. The recorded history of past kingdoms and empires offer information about how they organised, governed and administered their societies, rooted in religious values. This chapter is based on research about the, perhaps unconscious, application of Islamic Public Value as an administrative policy. More specifically, the focus is on the role of education in building multicultural citizenship in Thailand's Muslim minority context located in a conflict zone.
