“Unholy Alliance”: Monks and the Military in Myanmar
al Jizz propaganda.
Buddhist monks are murderous thugs, the police, the army & the politicians are united in hate. Bengali Moslem invaders known as “Rohingya” are the victims and the world should pressure Burma to become Islamic. That’s what al Jizz is promoting here.
With almost 90 percent of Myanmar’s population being devoted Buddhists, the religion has been at the heart of the nation’s very identity for centuries. But while the pillars of Buddhist teachings are love, compassion and peace, there is a very different variation to the philosophy being taught at the Ma Ba Tha monastery in Yangon’s Insein township. The monks there are connected to one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises, the systematic persecution and genocide of the Rohingya in Rakhine state.
Al Jazeera’s unprecedented access to the Ma Ba Tha monastery and its leaders offers a glimpse into how their ultra-nationalist agenda is becoming the blueprint for the political structure of the country. Is the joining of forces between monks and generals threatening Myanmar’s young and fragile democracy?
