Myanmar’s religious malaise goes online
Myanmar’s infant information culture is helping to spread high-risk Islamophobia, reports

A FEW weeks ago, I stumbled into a protest on the streets of Yangon, the cultural capital of Myanmar. The march itself was a relatively tame affair, with around 500 people braving the afternoon heat to walk to downtown Sule Pagoda. Despite the calm mood, though, the protest provided a telling glimpse of how an exclusivist anti-Muslim nationalism is mushrooming across Myanmar.

Special Report: Thailand secretly supplies Myanmar refugees to trafficking rings
By Jason Szep and Andrew R.C. Marshall
RANONG, Thailand (Reuters) – One afternoon in October, in the watery no-man’s land between Thailand and Myanmar, Muhammad Ismail vanished.
Thai immigration officials said he was being deported to Myanmar. In fact, they sold Ismail, 23, and hundreds of other Rohingya Muslims to human traffickers, who then spirited them into brutal jungle camps.
As thousands of Rohingya flee Myanmar to escape religious persecution, a Reuters investigation in three countries has uncovered a clandestine policy to remove Rohingya refugees from Thailand’s immigration detention centers and deliver them to human traffickers waiting at sea.

CHINA NOW SPEAKS UP…
In this Buddhist country, monks enjoy a high social status. But their sense of xenophobia is also strong, especially in face of the Muslims which account for less than 10 percent of the total population.
Myanmar has witnessed several instances of bloodshed in recent years. The conflict between monks and the Islamist Rohingya people in Rakhine State last year caused hundreds of deaths and left tens of thousands of Rohingya people homeless.
This March, Myanmar’s central city Meiktila also saw a violent confrontation between monks and Muslims. Raging monks set fire to five mosques and several Islamist communities.

If you want to accuse Muslims as coming in with British Colonialism… Just think a little bit..
India and Burma was the British owned lands, they even combined into one once, they had the right to bring or shift any SERVANTS anywhere…
Why do Bama leaders FAILED TO DEMAND the ruling British before getting Independence that YOU WANT the LAND ONLY not the people on that land?
IF you dare to say that, definitely British would give you the Bama majority areas ONLY as Burma.

Did the gov’t incite the racial violence targeting the Rohingya?
Following this summer’s rioting in western Burma, all eyes have been fixed on the government’s handling of the unrest in Rakhine state. With external pressure mounting, most specifically from the Islamic world, Burmese officials – from President Thein Sein in Naypyidaw to local security troops in western Burma – have been playing ostensibly the “humanist and humanitarian” card with the Rohingya.

“Oppose Islam, the Faith of Animals!
Muslims procreate like rabbits.”(Translated by Dr. Maung Zarni
MYANMAR’S BUDDHIST MONKS INSULT ISLAM WHILE DEMONSTRATING AGAINST THE VISIT OF OIC DELEGATES, ( 15th NOVEMBER 2013, YANGON )
THE POSTER READS AS FOLLOWS: ” OPPOSE THE ISLAM AS IT IS SIMILAR TO ANIMALISM WHOSE BIRTH RATE IS UNCONTROLLED!! “
In Abrahamic religions i.e. Judaism, Christianity and Islam, NO God or Prophet were recorded as ANIMALS or reincarnated as ANIMALS. Just read the Buddhism’s 550 reincarnation of Buddha. So these MONKS should not accuse ISLAM but just read their Buddhist Scripture.

TQ friend. This pic of the Khwe Thar Wirathu alone could become a very strong evidence at ICC to hang him for Meikhtila Massacre. Mandalay Chief Minister Ye Myint and Security Minister ? and other Ministers who talk rubbish to justify the Massacre of Meikhtila Muslims could also be punish at ICC, In Sya Allah. Please search and record all the evidences and if possible publish and share on internet:FB and blogs. President U Thein Sein had also STUPIDLY endorsed that SOB Wirathu as Son of Buddha. That stupidity is already entered in world history.
