Erian: World Double-Standard Dealing Evident in Failure to Protect Myanmar Muslims

Egyptian Presidential Adviser Erian condemns feeble, inept international efforts to end the plight of Burma’s predominantly Muslim Rohingya people, who have suffered persistent prosecution for long months of continuous bloody massacres.

Dr. Essam El-Erian, Adviser to Egypt’s President Morsi, stressed that “it is a shame on the international community that it has so far failed to stop massacres against Muslims in Myanmar”.

The Presidential Adviser further said, via Twitter: "The continuing inability of the international community to stop the massacres taking place in Myanmar against Rohingya Muslims is clear evidence of double-standard dealing".

Thousands of Muslims in Myanmar have been subject to a systematic and deliberate process of ethnic cleansing, which is a blatant crime against humanity. Meanwhile, Myanmar authorities have gone back on a decision to allow the Organization of Islamic Cooperation to open an office in the capital Rangoon and another in the capital of the Yangon region, where Muslims of Myanmar stay to receive and distribute humanitarian aid and relief assistance.

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.”
