8 concrete actions Myanmar Government need take to address anti-Muslim violence and racism if it is serious about addressing the rise in anti-Muslim violence and genocidal racism in the country
1) arrest immediately "the Face of Buddhist Terror", ulra-racist fake monk Wirathu, defrock him and lock him up until after 2015 and banned from entering any monastery premises;
2) fire, true and lock up ex-colonel Ye Htut and ex-Major Zaw Htay, two president spokesmen using their official capacity to promote anti-Muslim misinformation and hate speech;
3) disband 969 and 'Defence of Buddhism and Bama Race League' and declare them a threat to social harmony;
4) drop the anti-religious conversion bill, drafted under President Nwa Thein Sein's order and sponsored by the ruling military party headed by Thakhoe Shwe Mann;
5) arrest the ruling party Finance Committee chairman Aung Thaung, who patronizes anti-Muslim thuggish group known as Taung Tha Army, named after his birthplace in upper Burma;
6) confiscate any businesses own by cronies who patronize and finance anti-Muslim violence campaign;
7) crack down on Burmese private media outlets that print and promote manufactured anti-Muslim stories; and
8) arrest Nay Myo Wai, crude and thuggish Chairman of Diversity and Democracy Party on charges of openly promoting hate speech and inciting the murder of the country's opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi (Nay Myo Wai has openly called for the destruction of all mosques in Myanmar, illegalization of Islam and the murder of Aung San Suu Kyi).
