Champions of Human Rights fail to Address Muslim Massacre in Burma

Champions of Human Rights fail to Address Muslim Massacre in Burma
In an extremely unfortunate chain of series and events, the human rights champions around the world have and are continuing to fail on every angle in order to adequately address the outrageous massacre of minority Muslim’s in Burma.
Countries like the United States, which have always been a part of talks to help out nations like Israel against Palestine, are silenced at a time when Muslims are being killed in broad daylight by their very own government and army.

The Rohingya Muslims of Burma, which are immigrants of people from Bangladesh and China, reside in a large number throughout the nation at an estimated population of 800,000. But surprisingly, their voices are being silenced and life taken away at the demand of being given their fundamental rights.

There is a long history between the Rohingya people in Burma, but instead of looking at the past, nations are failing to look at what currently is going on under the banner. Many killings have been reported on a daily basis, while a huge number is said to be covered up by the Burmese government.

Men with beards, symbolising their Islamic faith, continue to be killed due to their religious affiliation while women wearing the veil are tortured from every corner, including death induced by hunger.

The most recent incident that took place, which has been uncovered by the media, is the daylight murder of 11 Muslims by the national army. It is unclear why the government is acting in such a cruel and biased manner against a helpless minority.

For one, this is a clear violation of every human right imaginable, which makes the silence of the superpowers, especially those a part of the United Nations and people like Burma’s symbol of democracy, Aung San Suu Kyi even stranger and inhumane.

American Buddhists Promote 969 Movement With Website

Irrawaddy News: July 9, 2013 A group of American Buddhists has launched an English-language website promoting the 969 movement, in response to negative media surrounding the ultra-nationalist Buddhist campaign in Burma. The website aims to dispel “myths” about the movement, with a letter from nationalist monk Wirathu to a Time magazine reporter whose article about 969 was banned in Burma.  “We’re not officially endorsed by Ven Wirathu at this time but will send a delegation to his monastery soon,” a spokesperson for the site said via email, adding that the group would create a nonprofit to coordinate “969 activities worldwide in response to religious oppression.”
