Here, let me say this again:

  • Not all of the Rohingya are Muslims.
  • The Muslims aren’t the only ones that are suffering in Burma.
  • Some of the Rohingya are Hindus.
  • Or Sikhs.
  • On general, it’s the people in the Rakhine region who are of Indian /Pakistani /Bangladeshi descent who moved and have been living in Burma for centuries.
  • There’s several ethnic minorities, some who are Buddhist, who’re oppressed under the regime. Like the Karen. Let’s not forget them.
  • Portraying the conflict in Burma as just Muslims suffering just creates more divisions between the Muslims and others in Burma.
  • There’s extremists in South Asia who’re using social media to portray the issue as just one that hurts Muslims.
  • You’re all buying into it.
  • It’s making the other Burmese angry that no one thinks of them.
  • So then the Muslims there are even more alienated instead of being able to work with them against the regime. So they’re probably going to seek the support of the extremists.
  • Muslim extremists in Burma would equal the “war on terror” moving there as in, the US has an easier time in getting its hands on Burma’s oil.
  • There’s two issues in Burma, not one. With the oil and the US looming, I’d say there’s three. Please don’t turn it into such an oversimplified issue. It isn’t helping us.
