Have you guys seen the interviews of the Buddhists there? It's chilling stuff. They say some messed up shit to justify their atrocities. Look at Facebook comments on BBC articles about it. They're fucking deplorable people. |

Myanmar is a shithole and shitshow

The lack of intervention by ANY major powers is honestly disgusting Can someone explain to me honestly how it's anyone else's problem.

The lack of intervention by ANY major powers is honestly disgusting They're not letting UN inspectors into the country, so up until recently no country could act without declaring war and invading because there was no hard evidence. Now that the stories are piling up they may be able to force a response, but unfortunately it seems like Myanmar knows how to play their cards just right to delay intervention as long as possible. It doesn't help that the root of the issue is effectively that the two sides fought on opposite sides during WW2 and then after someone (the UK I think?) decided that instead of splitting the country they'd have to live together. You're looking at the equivalent of 50 years of asking the nazis to live next to communists in peace and things exploding. Also, every time the west gets involved, the rest of the world says "leave us alone", so this may be the unfortunate byproduct of most of the world telling the west they're sick of interventions. After 15+ years of "we kill you because you invade our countries" I guess the end result is "deal with it yourself, then"

butthole666 posted...The lack of intervention by ANY major powers is honestly disgusting It's not, really Plus the Muslims there weren't integrating (big surprise). They were trying to force their own belief systems onto the Myanmar people. However, that doesn't excuse ethnic cleansing, so fuck Myanmar. There are better ways to deal with that shit than borderline genocide |

Nah I clearly pointed out that how Myanmar is reacting to the problem is horrible as fuck, so I really don't know what has your panties in the bunch. It's okay buddy, you're allowed to criticize Islam and still be a good person :( |

Samurontai posted...Plus the Muslims there weren't integrating (big surprise). They were trying to force their own belief systems onto the Myanmar people. Myanmar has openly considered them occupying non-citizens since as far back as WW2. It's been 75 years of that: After the Allies won, the Rohingya hoped to win independence or join East Pakistan (today’s Bangladesh), which was also majority Muslim and ethnically similar to the Rohingya. But the British, eager to appease Myanmar’s Buddhist majority, decreed that the Rohingya areas would become part of newly independent Myanmar (then called Burma), setting the Rohingya up for decades of discrimination. Also as the TC's article says: The two main ethnic groups in her village, the Buddhist Rakhines and the Muslim Rohingya, were like two planes drawn to never touch. They followed different religions, spoke different languages, ate different foods and have always distrusted each other. It was always going to come to this, because after 75 years the Rohingya had still not integrated. Let's not forget this all started because Rohingya militants were actively attacking the military in a bid to create their own autonomous region. Again, as others have said, this is an atrocity, but to pretend like this came out of nowhere is to not know the history either.

And, it seems from this treatment, not even human. s0nicfan posted... but to pretend like this came out of nowhere is to not know the history either. I didn't.

Giving up their religion, or at least attempting to follow the cultural customs set by the indigenous people of that land while keeping their faiths? They failed to even attempt any sort of integration since the moment they arrived This is not uncommon when it comes to Muslims who migrate to other cultures lands |

Lots of victim-blaming going on ITT. Remember, if the government treats you like crap, you're not supposed to try to do anything about it, because you might justify them genociding your people. Nobody is victim blaming, nobody is justifying genocide, and nobody is saying that genocide is understandable Are you even reading the same topic? Lmao |
|
There's a difference between saying "Genocide is good" and providing a reason for said genocide.
There was a reason behind the Jewish genocide during WW2, but you do not say anybody "justifies" it by naming the reasoning (which is Germans saw the Jews as the problems behibd their suffering) which is also dumb |

That's not me justifying anything though That's me answering his question of "how do you integrate" Are you so incapable of basic reading comprehension, that you actually see me justifying genocide in that post? Like holy hell dude Edit: didn't see your edit in time Uh, I'm not saying they brought this on themselves at all? Are you trolling right now. Please tell me you're trolling |

And how do you know that they didn't make an effort to follow customs? holy hell dude be more dense |

Did you purposefully ignore the rest of that sentence which suggests that they keep their beliefs but at least attempt to integrate culturally? Also the irony of you calling me dense whole simultaneously also apparently being incapable of reading more than a few words into a sentence at a time, is absolutely hilarious |

Let the Arab oil states help them if they care so much about their "Muslim brothers". I'm perfectly fine with the West staying out of this one. Can't win with the Muslim crowd. Damned if you do help, damned if you don't. All we ever get in return is terrorism. LinkAndEpona posted... Ammonitida posted..."Peaceful" Buddhists.
