Slaughter of Muslims in Burma - June 2012
After
reading and watching helplessly the recent massacre of minority Burmese Muslims
by the Buddhist majority, let not another hypocrite sing that phoney and
repugnant 'song' about Buddhists being "peaceful."
In June 2012, hundreds Burmese Muslims have been butchered, and many more
injured and made homeless in Burma as a result religious intolerance by the
Buddhist majority. The Burmese military government, far from trying to resolve
the problem and protect the minority, has been silently conniving with the
rioters by creating greater hardships for the Muslim minority.
The reason of this June 2012 riot is unknown except for the periodical
outbursts of the Burmese Buddhists to show their might and vent their anger on
the helpless minority. It is commonly accepted that the June 2012 massacre of
Burmese Muslims was intentionally orchestrated by the rioters in collaboration
with the government. Yet the world, including the UN, is conveniently silent.
The brazenly hypocritical and unscrupulous woman, Aung San Suu Kyi, is very
prompt at accusing the Burmese military of human rights violations when she is
under house arrest. But she finds nothing wrong when the military helps the
Buddhist mobs to murder the innocent Muslim minority of her country.
As in India, anti-Muslim riots are nothing unusual in Burma. Violence in Burma
against Muslims have been erupting periodically since the 1920s based simply on
religious intolerance by the Buddhist majority.
The Muslims of Burma mainly belong to the Arakan state in western Burma. They
are known as Rohingya or Burmese Muslims. The term "Rohingya" has
been derived from the Arabic word "Raham" meaning sympathy. Muslim
settlements began being established in the Arakan province of Burma since the
arrival of the Arabs in the 8th century. Presently about 800,000 Rohingya live
in Burma. The United Nations describes them as "one of the world’s
most persecuted minorities." Yet it has never bothered to help them.
Religious freedom for Muslims in Burma has been systematically curbed. In the
post 9/11 era, random accusations of "terrorism" against Muslims have
become a common form of persecution and harassment by Burmese Buddhists. Burmese
Government does not consider Rohingya Muslims as citizens and they are hated by
the Buddhist majority. Rohingya Muslims in Burma have long demanded recognition
as an indigenous ethnic group with full citizenship by birthright. But the
Government regards them as illegal immigrants from neighboring Bangladesh and
denies them citizenship.
"Nobel Prize winner," Aung San Suu Kyi, does not consider Muslims as
citizens. Speaking at London School of Economics meeting on June 2012 during
her visit to the UK, she said "Rohingya Muslims should not be considered
citizens." Later during her press conference at Downing Street, she did
not condemn the killings of Rohingya Muslims taking place in Burma. Instead,
she simply said that this "ethnic conflict should be investigated and
dealt with wisdom." It wasn't just an insufficient response but a very
shocking one from someone supposed to have won a "Noble Peace Prize."
The notorious master hypocrite and undercover CIA agent, Dalai Lama, continues
to globe trot without mentioning a single word of the dangerously growing
Buddhist intolerance in Burma, Thailand, Tibet and across the world. Such
intolerance and persecution invariably result in resistance by the oppressed.
Many Muslims have joined armed resistance groups, fighting for greater freedom
in Burma.
On June 3rd 2012, eight Muslims returning to Rangoon in a bus after visiting a
Masjid in the Arakan province were attacked by a mob of hundreds of Buddhists
and slaughtered brutally. An eye-witness reported that after the mass murder
"the culprits were celebrating triumph spitting and tossing wine and
alcohol on the dead bodies lying on the road."
"These innocent people have been killed like animals," said Abu
Tahay, of the National Democratic Party for Development, which represents the
country’s much-persecuted stateless Muslim Rohingya community.
The Rohingya Muslims of Burma have continued to suffer from human rights
violations under the Burmese junta since 1970s. Over the years thousands of
Rohingya refugees have fled to neighboring countries like Thailand, Indonesia
and Bangladesh etc. Even as refugees they have been facing hardships and have
suffered persecution by the Thai government. In February 2009, a group of 5
boats packed with Burmese Rohingya Muslims were taken out and abandoned in the
open sea by the Thai army. Four of these boats sank in a storm and one was
washed ashore near the Indonesian islands. The few survivors who were rescued
by Indonesian authorities told horrific stories of being captured and beaten by
the Thai military and then abandoned at open sea.
Being "peaceful" or "humble" (as claimed by their biased
supporters) is a far cry concerning the Burmese Buddhists. Their vindictive
temperament prowls for vendetta, waiting to use even the most insignificant
occurrence as an excuse to perpetrate violence on Burmese Muslims. At any time,
if there's some ethnic disturbance between Muslims and Buddhists/Hindus in any
other country, the Burmese Buddhists waste no time going on a murderous spry killing
the Muslim minority in Burma. If there is the slightest of trouble between
Muslims and non-Muslims in Indonesia, it's taken as a pretext to kill Muslims
in Burma by Buddhist mobs. The destruction of the statues in Bamiyan
(Afghanistan), created an immediate excuse to commit violence against Muslims
in Burma in 2001. The firebrand Buddhist monks demanded a Muslim masjid to be
destroyed in retaliation. Mobs of Buddhists led by monks, vandalized
Muslim-owned businesses and property in Burma, and attacked and killed Muslims
in Muslim communities.
Gruesome images of murdered Rohingya Muslims in the recent June 2012 riots in
Burma have been circulated on websites, resulting in protests in several Muslim
countries and by various human rights activists around the world demanding
justice & protection in Burma for the minority, but has fallen on deaf ears
as usual, getting little or no coverage from mainstream news channels.
PLEASE SEND THIS AROUND. THE WORLD HAS THE RIGHT TO KNOW THE TRUTH.
