The muslims have been persecuting the Buddhists for quite some time, i always think there are 3 sides to every story,in this case we have the Buddhists and the muslims with the truth being an independent 3rd side.

So why did the Buddhists wait so long to retaliate after this long list of incidents caused by muslims?
Scroll down page to find a long list of incidents where muslims target buddhists.

The war criminal Bosnian Nasser Oric started the conflict with the Serbs then claimed they were the victims when the Serbs retaliated to muslim aggression, there is a pattern here with muslims starting trouble then claiming to be the victim when the other side fights back.

Gandalf- Do you think muslims and Islam have an ingrained victim mentality?

The Rohingya in Burma are a vulnerable and impoverished minority, who are systematically persecuted and dehumanised. This has resulted in at least two major and by all accounts coordinated massacres and ethnic cleansings in the last 15 years. The idea that this minority is persecuting the privileged majority is pure fiction. And attempting to deflect the discussion by bringing up totaly unrelated episodes of persecution by muslims won't change this fact.

I see you are trying to justify the massacres and persecution of these people adamant. Thats your prerogative of course - but please don't come back and claim you are doing anything else.

Also, I would heartily support muslim nations taking them in. It will certainly require something as drastic as this if the apologists for persecution like yourself continue with your apologetics, and something akin to a "final solution" is carried out by the Rakhine mobs in close collusion with the Burmese authorities. You'll no doubt giving us a highly relevant lecture about "the history" while people are being massacred in their thousands.

So lets get this straight - if Bangladesh refuses to take them in, that makes the persecution and massacres by the Burmese ok does it?

Exactly what did you expect me to say about Bangladesh? Yes its bad if they don't protect them. But thanks for the strawman.

It's where they came from Gandalf, why don't they want to go home?

If Thein Sein decided that Rohingya leaders had entered into negotiations with enemies of the state, would it be reasonable for him to execute every adult male Rohingya? Or does it only work if an angel tells you to?

It must be hard for Muslims to stand up for the rights and freedoms of other people, who always just happen to be Muslims, when people keep noticing their hypocrisy.

This generation born in Burma, perhaps. The last generation born in Bangladesh, following its War of Independence in 1971.

The generation before that born in East Pakistan, following partition in 1947.

And the generation before that born in the British colony of India. Before that, a succession of dynasties and kingdoms going back 2000 years.

Burma, or Myanmar, is equally up for dibs. Burma is a collection of ethnic tribes, held together by the agreements of warlords and various occupiers from the Japs to the British. The current occupiers, the SLORC generals, are existentially held together by various wars with the Shan and Karen peoples, and even the anti-Communist Chinese guerrillas, the Kuomintang.

The SLORC, paradoxically, are now allied with Communist China. Go figure. They were once funded by the CIA to do the exact opposite.

The entire region, from the Salween River in the Golden Triangle to the Indian Eastern frontier, is run by tribes, warlords and a handful of generals. Much of it is lawless. Most of it is inaccessable to tourists. Myanmar is only now opening its borders - its Thai land borders in November, 2013.

There are few patriots in these parts. Hardly anyone gets a passport, and elections are a joke. Religion and ethnicity is all anyone there has.

As some here call them - brown people, rubbish people, the tinted races.

Stop the boats indeed.
