I don't think that it's as simple as that and that's certainly a one-sided view but regardless, nothing justifies killing and raping women and children.

I completely agree but the Rohingya didn't get the memo (or laugh and think that doesn't apply to kafurs so continue doing what they have done for decades).

Lets be honest here... It must take an awful lot of **** to **** off Buddhists so much that they forsake the "all living creatures" mantra.

Or their religion is just as much crap as everyone elses and is followed by the same flawed people who do the same flawed things as everyone else
 
Ridiculous that people are claiming that this is just them fighting back against the spread of Islam. These people are not Islamist preachers, nor are they the rebels of 60-70 years ago. They carry a strong stigma there and it is their ethnic group which is being discriminated against more than their religion.

I would also add that people love labelling the Buddhists involved as the can do no wrong type who has had their hand forced. The government has pushed to continually discriminate and defame these people, encouraging discrimination that you would expect from radical extremist preachers rather than governments. This is a country built on a military rule and a heavy handed approach to dealing with anyone not directly supporting them.

The leadership in Myanmar/Burma has created a culture of such strong hate against them for years. Any Rebellious acts that protests this is usually quashed easily and used as ammunition to further increase negative attitudes towards the people.

Myanmar/Burma has never been welcoming to many non Buddhist religion or non Burmese minorities.

Just looking at what they have been legally deprived of or forced to do by the government is ridiculous, let alone what the government turns a blind eye on.

Associating these people with atrocities committed elsewhere in the world in the name of a religion that some of them have is stupid, almost as stupid as justifying the ethnic cleansing and abuse of their women and children because you associate them with rebellious action taken over 60 years ago.
 
Well some of these posts are certainly enlightening! As always with events there are two sides, and as always we're not being told about both.
I wasn't aware of what lead up to this, but no matter what it was the actions taking olace now are not excusible.
 
I think the west is being very quiet because I think they are extremely embarrassed that Un Sung Su Chi is not the saint that they all thought she was.

??? I'm assuming that you think all of those above are fine if it's done to muslims??

I really hope I have assumed wrong, if not then I have absolutely no words for someone that thinks like you.

It was a sarcastic response to the poster I quoted . Who was basically suggesting it's fine "to stop the spread of islam".

Erm... They are fighting back against an expansionist ideology. The event that sparked this whole period was Islamic terrorists attacking a police station.

So in a sense you are actually saying that Buddhists are behaving how Muslims do? A select few hate preachers, calls for violence, violence enacted.... Seems to me the rules of the Islamic game are being used against Muslims and its not fair *stamps feet*

Or maybe... Just maybe the Rohingya Muslims behaviour over years is what is prompting this backlash. Historically speaking Islam has oppressed minorities in virtually every single eventuality. I forget the politician (Jew) who questioned the Arabs demanding to know where the Jews and Christians were in their nations that decades ago number hundreds of thousands and now number handfuls of that. There is good reason the Buddhists are fighting and it certainly isn't because of a power drunk monk wanting a kick

Yes I gathered that from Rambo how they treated all the mercenaries badly

Ahhh so things like this in Indonesia and Somalia are all good because the so called oppressed Islamic minorities are on the sharp end of the stick. I think a short lesson in Islamic history and its relation to 21st Century reality should enlighten you.

Other than this, hope ya ok Avenged, its been a while :)

Very wrong. Quite obviously a very sarcastic answer!
 
After travelling around Myanmar in 2015 just before their election, it's a shame to see what is now happening there. Myanmar in one the most beautiful countries in the world, with some amazing people living there.

Hopefully they can sort this out.
 
RaohNS, the discrimination in Burma has been going on way longer than current events involving the police station shooting. You seem to think this is all connected to current Islamic terrorist because that is all you think about.

The discrimination in the form of forced labour, removal of citizenship, the confiscation of farmland and such has been about for decades. This isn't about your agenda and some sort of Muslim invasion.

Certain ethnic minorities in Burma have had it rough for a while and these people specifically, some of whom are Hindu. These people have are targeted on so many levels socially and economically. You can hardly blame recent Islamic events as the reason why they are not allowed higher education, freedom of movement, citizenship or to have more than two kids per family.

The events going on in Burma is separate to other Islam related violence in the rest of the world. If you are looking for the Muslim bashing thread, it really isn't here. Talking about the history of Islam doesnt stand for much when the history of this country and these people specifically show a more one sided fight, with decades of oppression and discrimination versus some violence easily quashed.

Maybe add an edit to your OP.

There is a sentiment that this can't be done to poor muslim populations, even though it has been done by them, to them elsewhere in the world, and by them to anyone else in basically ever bordering region they encompass.

Eritrea, somalia, north sudan, yemen, qatar, the entirety of north africa, spain in a past age.
This appears to be the one place on Earth that a standard non-peaceful population of muslims is under attack by a non-muslim population.
, rather than another muslim population.
