Understanding the Nature of the Current Violence in Burma

Major section of Burmese society have been brainwashed by the hardcore dictatorship ruling the country for decades. They have been drowned in the delusion of racial purity and religious superiority. As a result, that has led them into being racists and fascists today. They hardly care about anyone and other religions besides their Burman race of Mongoloid origin and their religion Buddhism. For the worse, though they claim to be hardcore Buddhists, they never practice the soul principle of Buddhism, Metta (the loving-kindness). They think Metta is only for their own people or the people of their own kind. They seem to forget humanity. Were Gautama Buddha alive, he would be much disgusted with the skinned-head fascists and bigots in the saffron who falsely claim to preach Metta for humanity.

The violence against Rohingyas and Kamans in Arakan is basically gross human rights violations and ethnic cleansing sponsored by the state. In many aspects, the genocide against them in Arakan is identical to that of Jews in Nazi Germany during WWII, Muslims in Bosnia and Hindus in Sri Lanka. Whoever or whatever Rohingyas are, they are human beings first. That's why all the concerned quarters demand all those countries who care about human rights and human beings to pressure Burmese Authoritarian Regime to stop the violence and to give them their due rights and status.

And today, though the violence seemed to be anti-Rohingyas in the beginning, it seems that it is anti-Muslims. Many estimate that there will be a religious war targeted against Muslims all over the country. There have been recently nation-wide anti-Muslim demonstrations led by the skinned-fascists in saffron who are indirectly supported by the regime. Reports have it that Muslims in other parts of Burma are often targeted by fascist Monks and fanatic Buddhists. Moreover, there have been some reports that two Mosques in Karen state were destroyed by some unknown people using grenades. So, who are behind and what is in the destabilizing Burma? By the destabilizing the country, the ruling regime has been being able to:
- Divert the attention of people from its failures to tackle political and economic crises throughout their long reigns the way the late dictator Ne Win did by creating anti-Chinese violence from 1967 throughout 1970s.
- Depopularise Daw Aung San Suu Kyi nationally and internationally.
- Gain critically required people supports for the next election in 2015.
- Make foreign-based Burmese media and some foreign media (that have long been damaging them) untrustworthy among the Burmese people.
- Easily militarise Arakan to protect foreign investments benefitting them.
- And will finally be able to crawl back to the previous military dictatorships.
However, it will really be dismal to think that the Burmese regime is the sole stakeholder behind destabilizing the country because there can be many sides of a story rather than two. The purpose of the involvements of Rakhine terrorists in the mass-killings of Rohnigyas and Kamans is crystal clear: they want to have a separate and independent Arakan. Yet, there might be many more unseen powers playing to create unrest in the country so that they can take stronger base in the country and defeat one another politically and economically.
As I were saying, though 4% Muslim population in the country can hardly pose any threats, be it to the sovereignty of the nation or to Buddhism, the fanatic and supremacist Burmese dictators and the ultra-nationalist Burmese see the Muslims or Islam as the biggest threat. Therefore, it has become necessary for them to cleanse the Muslims first. The turns of the people of the faiths of Christianity, Hinduism and others etc might be followed.
Therefore, today’s anti-Rohingya and anti-Muslim movements can turn into anti-Indians, anti-Whites and Anti-Semitism tomorrow. Or it can turn into anti-Hindus, anti-Christians and anti-Jews etc when there are no more Muslims in the country. They are implementing their fascist policy step by step. (Note: In the violence in Arakan, many Hindus, too, have been killed together with Muslims because of their same physical appearances with Muslims. Majority of both Muslims and Hindus in Arakan are of Indo-Aryan descendants i.e. Indians. Indo-Aryans are the natives of the place called Arakan today. In the history, they had their own separate kingdoms. Later, Arakan was invaded by a feudal Burman king called Maung Wai and included into the Burma's map.)
After all, Burman ultranationalists carry resentment against British, Indian administrators and soldiers [whom Burman supremacists think inferior to them (Burman)] for dethroning their Supreme Kings. Besides, they were Indian Chettiers or money lenders, most of whom were South-Indian Hindu's, who did take much land used as collateral on loans that defaulted in the post-1900 economic downturn. It subsequently led Burman fanatics to riot against Indians which later came to be known as Kular-Bamar Riot. Thus, Burmese supremacist regime always wants to avenge these inferior creatures who once challenged their supremacy or supreme kingdoms whether or not it is possible. In short, Burmese supremacists are none other than modern Pro-Nazis and Neo-Fascists who want nothing but the sole Buddhism made up with the people of purely Burman of Mongoloid origin.

Thousands of Rohingya Muslim women and under-aged girls have been raped, properties of Rohingya looteted,houses burnt to the ground,Thousands have been homeless and sent to the camps in dire situation and thousands have been including old men,women and infants have been brutally killed by Rakhine-Rakhshak,inhuman monks and bully militaries.But Democracy Icon Aung San Suu Kyi were totally Silent,and now after five months,She's started beating around the bush to cover her silence.To tell the truth, she is tarred with the same brush.To the best of my knowledge,most of burmese buddists are horrible racists,discreminating,torturing,raping and killng innocents of other religion is always on their mind.Basically,they have no common sense to be able to make difference between right and wrong,and they are filthiest animals in the images of human-being on the face of the earth.
