Organization for the Protection of Buddhism for Peace(OPBP)check the work of ​​Sabida, Minister of Culture, promoting the Quran Museum being listed as a World Heritage Site.

Special Report🙏🙏 Ms. Sabida Thaiset, Minister of Culture, gave an interview to the press stating that she would submit a proposal to the UNESCO World Heritage Committee to promote the Quran Museum as a World Heritage Site on October 18, 2025. She spoke to the press at the Ansarul Islam Mosque in Sadao District, Songkhla Province. 🙏On the same day, Ms. Sabida visited the Quran Museum in Yi Ngo District, Narathiwat Province, and announced her push for the 1,000-year-old Quran Museum to be listed as a World Heritage Site. She stated that the Quran Museum is a valuable cultural asset and is ready to promote it as a new religious tourism destination in Thailand. 🙏This is a significant development in the position of the Minister of Culture. Ms. Sabida had been at the helm for less than a month, but she had already shown her intent to promote Islamic work, forgetting that Thailand has long been a Buddhist country. For this reason, Mr. Prapan Kittirudeekul, Secretary-General of the Organization for the Protection of Buddhism for Peace (OPBP), along with a network of civil society partners, submitted a letter of objection to the Quran Museum's World Heritage nomination at the Ministry of Culture on October 24, 2025. 🙏@“OPBP”urges the Ministry of Culture Stop the Quran Museum's World Heritage nomination 🙏Mr. Prapan Kittirudeekul, Secretary-General of the Organization for the Protection of Buddhism for Peace (OPBP), stated that the OPPS, along with a network of civil society partners, disagree with the policy of promoting the 1,000-year-old Quran Museum as a World Heritage site, taking advantage of Ms. Sabida Thaiset's current tenure at the Ministry of Culture. 🙏"This is because the Qur'anic provisions have been found to... There are numerous surahs and verses containing teachings that prescribe the severity of those who disbelieve in Allah, including life, body, property, division, and conflict, leading to division between us and others, advantages and disadvantages, and uncompromising, leading to or creating incentives for violence and damage in the southern border region, where Thai Buddhists have been a minority for over 100 years. This is despite the state's utmost efforts, with various privileges, such as the issuance of the Hajj Promotion Act of 1981, amended No. 3 of 2016, shortly before the 2017 Constitution of the Kingdom of Thailand came into effect nationwide. This is because Article 67 of this Constitution stipulates that the state should support and protect Buddhism and other religions. There is no mention of promotion, as should be stated in both the Hajj Promotion Act of 1981 and 2016. The Chularatchamontri has the authority and duty to provide advice and opinions to the government on Islamic religious affairs, and to appoint a committee of experts. to provide advice on Islamic precepts and issue announcements regarding rulings in accordance with Islamic precepts. 🙏The OCS should also seek the opinions of all sectors to ensure participation in Thai society to avoid damaging the country's international image before proceeding with such projects. This also aligns with the National Strategy 2023-2027 on building competitiveness in creative and cultural tourism and promoting Buddhist tourism to make Thailand a global Buddhist tourism destination," said Mr. Prapan. 🙏Mr. Prapan further stated that for the aforementioned reasons, he opposes and requests consideration of suspending the proposal for the Quran Museum as a World Heritage Site until the Quran's teachings, which contain provisions that are seriously harmful to humanity, are verified and action is taken within 90 days. 🙏@ Quran found Contains provisions that are life-threatening. 🙏According to the OCS's data collection, several provisions reflect the dangers of the teachings contained in the Quran, including the Holy Quran, with a Thai translation. Published by the Ministry of Islamic Affairs and Religious Properties, with printing overseen by the King Fahd Quran Printing Center in Medina, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and published by the Arab Alumni Association of Thailand. Page 395, verse 167 of Surah 7 states: "Remember when your Lord informed you that He will certainly send over them authority until the Day of Resurrection. Whoever threatens them with severe torture, your Lord is swift in retribution, and He is Forgiving and Merciful." 🙏This verse illustrates why conflicts involving Muslims, both in Thailand and abroad, such as in Israel, can be so brutal. Verse 167 of the Quran confirms that severe torture is forgiveness from the Merciful and Merciful God. 🙏Similarly, page 50, verse 165 of Surah 2 states: "And among mankind are those who take idols besides Allah." They love their partners as they love Allah, but the believers love Allah more. And if the wrongdoers could see, as they witness the punishment, (they would surely realize) that Allah is the Severe Punisher. 🙏This is just a sample of the contents of the Quran, which spans 1,739 pages. Each of these verses contains a number of provisions that continue to disturb humanity. However, these truths have never been revealed and have been rewritten and altered to convince some Thais that there is no violence in the Quran, when in fact there is only one.
