It’s nothing new. Throughout history, prominent political and even religious leaders and institutions have kept silent about enormities which they had vehemently opposed in the past.

If Myanmar Muslim race is not allowed many people should not be allowed to enlist as Bamas just because they are Buddhist

Respite from Burma’s Violence

October 31, 2013 by Gerry Boyle ’78

For four days Mya Nandar Aung sat on a wooden plank and held her 2-year-old daughter. Aung was not allowed to stand or lie down. She wasn’t allowed to sleep.

  In this photo taken on Thursday, Oct. 3, 2013, Muslim men sit near a mosque destroyed in an attack by Buddhists in Thabyuchaing village, Thandwe township, Rakhine State, in western Myanmar. Even as President Thein Sein came to western Myanmar to urge an end to sectarian violence, security forces could not prevent Buddhist mobs from torching the homes of minority Muslims or hacking them to death, at times, unwittingly, even encouraging them. That has raised questions about the government’s ability to quench a virulent strain of religious hatred blamed for the deaths of more than 240 people in the last 18 months. The latest attack occurred Tuesday, Oct. 1, in Thandwe township, killing five just hours before President Thein touched down for a scheduled visit. (AP Photo/Khin Maung Win)

Myanmar is transition to a neo-Nazi “Buddhist” Golden Hell

Dr. Maung Zarni

First they came for the Jews.
Then for the Commies.
Then it was the Gypsies’ turn.
Homosexuals were next.
Poles too.
And the disabled.
And the ‘traitors’.

Looks like the only transition in Myanmar is transition to a neo-Nazi “Buddhist” Golden Hell.

“… today’s human rights violations are the causes of tomorrow’s conflicts.” by Mary Robinson, High Commissioner for Human Rights (1997-2002)       

Dear Nan,

We all should follow the wise and compassionate advice of our true Buddhist monk in accordance to the true teaching of Lord Buddha, which I copied from the Feb 21, 2006 (DVB) English news, because I am sure that Intra-Myanmar Internet access to all the opposition web sites are blocked.

The Burmese government has exhibited an “unacceptable measure of support” for a systematic campaign of violence against the country’s Muslim minority, which could lead to genocide if left unchecked, a new report warned on Tuesday.

The study by the New York-based Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) documents “consistent” patterns of abuses against Burmese Muslims, including widespread Islamophobia and hate speech fuelled by government acquiescence and a culture of legal impunity, which could lead to mass atrocities.
