There hasn't been much discussion about the Rohingya problem and Aung San Suu Kyi's continual silence. I think she should hand back her Nobel Peace Prize.

It was said on Radio 4 last week, that when she interviewed by one of the BBC's resident Muslim reporters, at the end of the interview, she was heard to say that "nobody told me that I was going to have to be interviewed by a Muslim"

[Jackdaw33]

She may be de jure leader of Burma but certainly not de facto.

[Stan-Marsh]

Muslims are a minority in Myanmar, the population have refused to bow to their demands, that's why the army is pushing them back into Bangladesh where they belong.

Countries have a right to protect their borders and culture. Europe should be taking a close look at this, because one day they will have to do the same.

[mikey4444]

Stan....you too need to study the facts. The Rohingya have been in Burma for a very long time.

Are you supporting the ethnic cleansing of the Rohingya or not ?

[Togo]

//The Rohingya have been in Burma for a very long time. //

Could you tell us how long Mikey? The Buddhists of Myanmar maintain that they are illegal immigrants from Bangladesh. I accept that religious spats must be difficult for a self proclaimed atheist.

[mikey4444]

Togo...its all contained in the Wiki entry.

"Described by the United Nations in 2013 as one of the most persecuted minorities in the world"

Defend the ethnic cleansing if you like....its up to you.

[Spicerack]

The UN, Lol.
If the people of Burma have had enough, it's their business.

[mikey4444]

Spicey....then you ARE defending ethnic cleansing then, as I thought.

In that case I don't think I have anything else to say to you !

[naomi24]

Mikey, Wiki is useful, but the ‘facts’ it provides are often based on the preferred world view of the author. Careful.

[Togo]

I have advised you before Mikey, do not ascribe a point of view based on your limited judgement. Support for and the defence of "ethnic cleansing" is not implied because I do not follow your knee jerk, and at times hysterical, squint eyed view of world events. I will have a think over whether I dislike your Eeyore persona more than your deliberately insulting, maledictive one. Do not use false postulation, and proclaim it as fact, on a web site that is open to all and liable to be taken as fact by anyone similarly afflicted as yourself. Particularly when it is a devious slur against myself.

Gutted!

I put this last week in the wrong category

Have you even considered why there is constant conflict between the opposing sides mikey?

No, far too much like hard work. He's already found a "good" side and "bad" side and will enjoy the pleasurable act of announcing his support for the goodies and denouncing the baddies (this time including Nobel Laureate Suu Kyi)ad nauseam. Why spoil the fun by an attempt at a critical analysis.

How very right you are Naomi.

//In October 2013, a German Court ruled that the Wikimedia Foundation can be held liable for content added to Wikipedia – however, this applies only when there has been a specific complaint; otherwise, the Wikimedia Foundation does not check any of the content published on Wikipedia and has no duty to do so.//

Enlightening Ichi, you however do not indicate which portions you consider to be the "lies". However, that aside, it may be worth reading to perhaps draw the analogy and comparison with the recent alarming realization taking place across Europe. A huge influx of economic or religious migrants takes place in a prosperous and comparatively peaceful country. They quickly begin to assert their own "ways" and attitudes on the indigenous people causing alarm and discordance. The people who are supposedly, taxed with, or who have seized control of these countries do little to address the issues. This causes further unease within the indigenous people whilst of course giving encouragement to the incomers to increase the flow and intensify their own agenda. Eventually the people who object to the "new" conditions rise up and take matters into their own hands, leaving the rulers with two choices. They either do nothing and let matters take their course or they mobilize the military and police forces against their own people. Scary. We should indeed be watching events in Burma very closely. Whether we have the wit to learn the lesson in time, or have take the crash course in reality remains to be seen. :))[I can do smiley face too]

Little update.

[albaqwerty]

can I ask a simple question? (I'm good at them)

How on earth can someone tell what the religion of a dead body? was ?

[Togo]

//Locals have helped identify 25 of the corpses, according to the government's Information Committee.
Hindus who fled the area have told AFP that masked men stormed into their community that day and hacked victims to death with machetes before dumping them into freshly-dug pits.//
