its usually pretty hard to upset the buddhists.
there are a lot of other ethnic groups in the area.
what did the rogingya do to incite such animosity?
It's not hard to upset the old boy, Aquascoot. He has the right to not be offended.
What did the Rohinga do?
They made the Burmese military ban them, kill them and landmine their villages so they can't return. Never ever.
Fair's fair. I'm sure that if the Bangladeshis were killing off their Buddhists, you'd be blaming the refugees too, no?
I blame Islam, but that's just me.
but( on song sue chi) won the nobel prize for peace.
she seems like a lovely lady. and she's the boss.
buddhist monks arent exactly reknowned for being uncalibrated hot heads.
i sincerely doubt that the rogingya were just minding their own business when on-song and the monks suddenly had a light bulb moment and decided to become "terrorists".
that scenario doesnt pass the sniff test.
Burma's been a military jaunta for over 30 years, Aquascoot. The monks don't run the army. Neither does Aung San Suu Kyi.
The generals would laugh at you if you thought that passed the sniff test.
and yet i have seen many comments about buddhist monks??
why do the military (the defenders of the nation) wish to evict them??
Not many, Aquascoot - one or two monks have been vocal against the Rohinga, that's all. Referring to the Burmese, the Dali Lama made it clear that Buddhism is not about coming down on people of other faiths. The Dali Lama is not in the Burmese Theravada tradition, but is probably the most revered Buddhist leader in the world.
Monks and Aung Saan Su Kyi have nothing to do with the military, who still run Burma. Remember, oppression is not the way of the superior man. Killing and torturing are not on the "narrow road to success".
The Rohinga are being systematically killed and exiled by the Burmese generals. Call it ethnic cleansing. Sure people fight back - call it resistance.
I have no idea why the generals have declared the Rohinga stateless, and nor does the U.N, the NGOs or ASEAN. The rest of South East Asia is currently taking in the refugees, so tbey're not happy about it.
It's worth noting that, aside from posters on internet forums, no one is blaming Islam. The world is blaming the Burmese generals. Mind you, I have no idea what tbey're thinking inside Burma. The Burmese are still heavily monitored by the secret police there.
And the generals aren't talking.
