NAYPYIDAW: There is a brand new sign at Thaungtan village’s entrance which reads: “No Muslims allowed to stay overnight. No Muslims allowed to rent houses. No marriage with Muslims.”

According to reports, the post was set up in March by Buddhist residents of the village in Myanmar’s Irrawaddy Delta region, who signed a document stating they wanted to live separately, according to The Guardian.

Anti-Muslim spat: Myanmar’s leader Suu Kyi loses cool with BBC’s Mishal Husain

Aung San Suu Kyi on Sunday addressed controversy over the use of the word “Rohingya” to describe the persecuted and stateless Muslim minority, warning that use of the term risked inflaming communal tensions in Myanmar.

Suu Kyi said her new government was determined to address deep hatreds in western Rakhine State, where tens of thousands of Rohingya are confined to squalid displacement camps after waves of deadly unrest with local Buddhists in 2012.

Buddhist nationalists have staged protests across the country against using the term Rohingya.

They label the group “Bengalis”, casting Myanmar’s more than one million Rohingya as illegal immigrants from Bangladesh.

“The Rakhine Buddhists object to the term ‘Rohingya’ just as much as the Muslims object to the term ‘Bengali’,” Suu Kyi said during a press conference with US Secretary of State John Kerry in the capital Naypyidaw.

The words carry “all kinds of political and emotional implications which are unacceptable to the opposite parties,” she added.

Suu Kyi, who has faced criticism internationally for not speaking up for the Rohingya, pledged to work towards a situation where the communities “live peacefully and securely outside the camps”.

“That is why we say that we need the space to build up trust and security within the community”, Suu Kyi added.

The new government was trying to tiptoe through the deeply controversial subject to find a solution that is acceptable for all, she explained.

Myanmar’s Rohingya population are denied citizenship even though many can trace their roots in the country back generations.

Kerry praised his counterpart for explaining her approach to the incendiary issue.

“At the same time we all understand as a matter of fact that there is a group here in Myanmar that calls itself Rohingya,” he added.

The US says it backs the rights of all ethnic groups to identify as they wish.

In recent weeks Washington has come under pressure from hardline Buddhists after the US embassy used the term “Rohingya” to refer to the persecuted Muslim minority.
 
‘No one told me I was going to be interviewed by a Muslim.’
-Aung San Suu Kyi

I'd say, we sure have a lot of angry pagans in our neighborhood :lol:
 
Don't worry. Muslims doesn't want to go to Myanmar either. It has no value anyway.
 
Knuckle dragging bummer apes are at it again .... Dumb retards
 
Who in his right mind would go to that excuse of a country in my opinion they should go to hell
 
If only they would keep that promise.

Dont get me wrong, I am an atheist, but if Myanmar let this happens in large scale in its own territory then according to the very basics of what constitute a state as a state, Myanmar is practically not a state or stateless country as it is not able to exercise its vertical hierarchy. Thus, Myanmar doesn't deserve to hide behind horizontal anarchy and deserves to be intervened by foreign states.

Well, if that's the case, we'll just have to wait for foreign intervention... once every Middle Eastern country has been taken care of. What a load of crap.

Don't get me wrong, I don't perscribe to these nuts but to say Islam and Bengali overpopulation isn't a threat would be a lackadaisical attitude to take. If the international community disagree then too bad.

Lol don't get me wrong too, I would be happy to see those Arabs being disciplined once for all if they are not able to discipline themselves gradually. Anyway, Myanmar is not that invulnerable against sovereignty breach and intervention, remember EU sanction? If you asked why Myanmar is still at the bottom of the economic rank in SEA and Asia, maybe it begins with the inability of Myanmar to consolidate all resources to build the country and the effects that follow such as sanctions..

Anyway, Islam and Bengali may be a problem for Myanmar, but it is a task for the burmese government and people to find solutions that do not constitute human rights abuse that are being ignored by the state (if not supported). And to be honest, what can a 5% minority that are mostly poor nor strong can do to harm Myanmar as a whole? If you worry about terrorism, you can always ask the Rohingya themselves to cooperate with Myanmar government.
 
When Pakistan was made the Rankine state wanted to join Pakistan to save themselves from the impending doom of an onslaught once the British would quit Myanmar as well.

Our Government at that time never took it seriously.

Maybe it is time to reconsider and given the poor piss status of Muslims in Myanmar; most countries wont intervene if not even support our move.

Every religion is bad and intolerant except Islam!!
Myanmar is bad and intolerant not Buddhism; stop pulling troll statements out of your ***.

Mind your language....it reveals your upbringing....if you don't like something just report!!
And I hope you are not blind....as the article clearly mentions about Buddhists being intolerant with muslims!!
 
If there is no religion in the world, there would not have been so many fights&wars.
I'd love to believe that, but knowing ourselves, we would fight for something else, even more ruthlessly. Humans have fought for many things apart from religion, many atrocities were committed, without religion being brought in.

That snazzy one-liner of yours clearly shows yours. Very well, I'm reporting you.
And stop derailing.
