“Sectarian violence” –sounds familiar?
Illegal Bangladeshi Muslim settlers rob, rape and murder a Arakanese Buddhist girl in Myanmar, and when police arrest the Muslim culprits, they launch “Jihad riots” after Friday prayer, attacking, killing, burning….
- The mob’s members were Muslims.
- the area is 90 percent Muslim.
- Mostly illegal settlers from neighbouring Bangladesh.
- Seven people were killed and 17 wounded in Friday’s violence. (after Friday prayers)
- 494 houses, 19 shops and a guest house were burned down.
- The dead were evidently all Buddhists….
After a Buddhist Mob in Burma beat 10 soldiers of allah to death in retaliation for the rape and murder of a young girl, a ‘backlash’ from the religion of peace should have been anticipated:
YANGON, Myanmar — Security forces in western Myanmar had to open fire on rioters who burned hundreds of homes in sectarian violence that killed at least seven people, state-controlled media reported Saturday, adding that calm had been restored.
The rioting reflected long-standing tensions between Buddhist residents and Muslims, many of whom are considered to be illegal settlers from neighboring Bangladesh. Although the root of the problem is localized — centering on resentment of the alleged cross-border outsiders — there is fear that the trouble could spread elsewhere because the split also runs along religious lines. WAPO on a tip from Vlad
Al Reuters spins it:
Saturday’s television report announced that troops reinforced police in Maungdaw and Buthidaung townships in Rakhine state, where the mobs rampaged. The state-run newspaper Myanma Ahlin said security forces opened fire to restore order. A dusk-to-dawn curfew was applied and public gatherings of more than five people banned.
According to the television report, seven people were killed and 17 wounded in Friday’s violence. It said 494 houses, 19 shops and a guest house were burned down.
Myanma Ahlin daily reported that about 1,000 “terrorists” were responsible for the rampage, which also saw some storm Maungdaw General Hospital. State media did not otherwise identify the rioters, but the area is 90 percent Muslim, and local residents contacted by phone said the mob’s members were Muslims. The dead were evidently all Buddhists, judging by the names of the victims. It was not clear if any of the casualties were caused by the security forces.
The TV report said, without further elaboration, that Myanmar naval forces are taking security measures along the nearby coast on the Bay of Bengal.
The amount of information about the incident released by state media in a timely fashion is nearly unprecedented. Under the previous military regime, such incidents usually went unreported or were referred to only in brief, cryptic fashion.
The elected though military-backed government of President Thein Sein has instituted reforms to try to reverse decades of repression, including allowing a much freer flow of information.
The trigger for the latest round of violence came with the rape and murder of a young Buddhist girl last month, allegedly by three Muslim youths. Some anti-Muslim pamphlets were circulated about the incident, evidently enflaming local Buddhists. On June 3, 10 Muslims were killed by an angry mob who attacked a bus carrying them from a religious gathering in Rakhine’s Taunggup town.
Dozens of Muslims protested peacefully in front of a mosque in downtown Yangon on Tuesday calling for justice for the 10 dead and complaining about terminology used by state-run newspapers they said was derogatory.
This past week the government announced it was establishing a special committee to investigate the bus incident and another unrelated case of violence in Rakhine that occurred the same day. The establishment of such a committee also breaks with past precedent.
Myanma Ahlin reported Saturday that the three rape suspects have been put on trial.
The problems in Rakhine state have long been overshadowed by the conflicts between the government and large ethnic minorities in other border areas who have been seeking greater autonomy. While Thein Sein’s government has concluded cease-fires with several ethnic guerrilla groups, it still face a bitter insurgency in the north by the Kachin ethnic minority.

Saf,
Aussiegirl is on the right path and she is brighter than you. What can you possibly teach her, you ignorant islamic fool. Why dont you try and discover the truth which is not found in your mosque or your pathetic quran. islam is less than a half truth and it is worse than a lie.
The joke is that all can see this except you moronic muslims!!
ZK;
Wou want a war – fine – you muslims are starting a war and when it is over you will be exterminated – do you seriously think that the rest of humanity which has shown far more talent, vitality, inventiveness and courage than you muslim scum is going to be beaten by you islamic morons. No, you will try to conquer and you will die and you will not find paradise. And how dare you insult Sri Lankans and others , you worthless piece of islamic excrement. You have done nothing, you have achieved nothing, you are nothing, and you attitude is your projection onto a world that you are too stupid to understand and value.
“the one”
We should call you “zero” because that is the level of your historical knowledge and your ability to interpet it.
Muslims are ppl of the book(Qur’an), they say they are secular, they say they are non-violent, they say they are gods gift to earth. Then why the fuck does the whole world hate muslims?? why do ppl say that islam is the curse to humanity and global peace?? in every country where evr there are muslims there is terrorism, arson, war, killings, rape etc etc… even in countries where there are onli muslims, there also they are fighting among themselves……i suggest muslim ppl pray for themselves and their survival….the way things are going no one will want to be a muslim…the future generations will have lots of problems….my muslims friends are having trouble getting visas to other countries, even muslim countries are discriminating against them….and treat them like terrorists where evr they go…..plz pray to your allah that muslims all over the are seen as peaceful and loving ppl………stop blaming others….first ya’aall dont give reasons for ppl to hate u every single muslim at a time.
george u dont kinw who we muslims are in each n every corner of the world if we will have the unity know then u wont be able to survive longer n if we will start to war on unity then it will be very harmful for other religions to survive any further but still our religion has not permitted us for that so better u stay in ua well good dude thanks never dare to see the power of muslims ok or else u will have to tolerate a lot
i mean to say we r spreaded in each n every corner of the world
and the whole world hate us just coz they are jealous of us…in the recent past iran has hijacked the spy plane of america did u forget that brother never try to oppose muslims
Sunsasa mohammadrui,
No one is jealous of you (muslims) – you are a joke – but it is our humanity that tells us to give you a chance to grow up and your cowardice and evilness that drives you to destroy what you cannot understand. We are opposing muslims, and if we have to we WILL destroy you. We developed the technology for the UCAV, and we have a lot more that you have no idea about!! You have done nothing but steal!! Do not ever threaten a non-muslim again, you little fool.
just get information about islam and then comment \, i ask all you pople come and accept the true religion of allah and make your next life safe
Hussain,
That is what we are doing, you idiot!!!
How selfish are you muslims – murder and threaten others so that you can feel safe when you die – WHAT A JOKE!!!
See the picture Hussain – you thugs (muslims) murdered this girl, as you have done to countless others.
