Buddhist Terrorism - no longer a myth

[CaPtAiN_pLaNeT]

Can you show me which international media captioned them as "Extremist Monks"?

There is no topic to discuss here, there is no such think as Buddhist terrorism to begin with.

Several article were posted already. These monks are leading this communal violence.

Myanmar is at fault thats why it is not even accepting offer by ASEAN to open up a front for dialogue.

^ that's tragic but how is it relevant to "Buddhist terrorism"? Did a Buddhist suicide bomber blow himself up to sink the boat?

lets set aside religion for a second......arent they also your countrymen?

The apartheid burmese regime back in 1982 has made Rohingya stateless by taking away their citizenship. They are living in ghetto, they have no right on education, job and other civilian rights. Due to not having passport they can not go to other country as well. Thats why their destination is Bangladesh. From here they manage fake passport and go abroad. Around 6 lakh rohingya have gone to middle east like this way alone. I am not sure if this 6 lakh figure is only for Saudi Arabia or not.

Bangladesh needs to arm the rohingyas to the teeth and then set burmese forests on fire then invade the land to gain more land and resources.

This is not the right time. Bangladesh and OIC should at first make a list of all the Rohingyas those who have been driven out by these Burmese Janta and should wait till the total number of Rohingyas cross the 50% mark of the total population in Arakan then should push forward the proposal at UN that they are citizen of Myanmar and they should be allowed to settle in Arakan. If Myanmar government does not comply then there will not be any obligation to arm them and to create an autonomous or independent state in Arakan if not all then at least covering bulk of the Arakan including its northern part.

Though current estimate shows number of Rohingyas are 1.5 million (approx.) but real number is more then 2 million. Making a list of rohingya is a must now.

I dont get buddhist monks, these are wannabe monks. Real buddhist monks sit under a bodhi tree and medidate. In a free arakan, bangladesh will plant thousands of bodhi trees for real buddhist monks. They can seek all the nirvana they want. But these terrorists need to be taken out.

Buddhist were not targeted in Saudi Arabia like the Rohingyas in Myanmar by these extremist monk and apartheid burmese janta. That is the reason why OIC wants to supervise the condition of the Rohingyas.

OIC can go twiddle its thumb.

You dont know about Theravada Buddhism boi.

Don't blame the entire Myanmar for what happened. I don't know whether you're aware of this but please check how this whole seed of discord was sowed when Rohingyas initiated tensions in the region.

Now because of Rohingyas, there is now violence happening even in Ladakh between Muslims and our fellow Buddhists.

Well yeah. I'm not aware about it. Can you post a credible link.

Morals yes, fairy tales, no. You seem to be a agnostic socialist to me rather than a devout Buddhist. Even strong traditions of Theravada would not talk the way you do.

Well I'm not a Buddhist. But I try to follow what Buddha teached.

Theravada Buddhism is a highly developed concept for political expansion unlike the other schools of thought in Buddhism. And Myanmarese are Theravada Buddhists...

Can you point it out more clearly?

I'm not even considering religious grounds. It matters not to me what religion someone is. However, they are not my countrymen neither technically nor theoretically. Whilst very sad, I don't see what it has to do with this notion of 'Buddhist terrorism".

But they are living in Burma for years now, and just because you don't consider them countrymen doesn't mean they have to burn and get tortured. With mentality like that, i can see where this all is coming from.

How can you tell that they are not your countrymen?...do you have any proof?

Who says they do? I don't like what's going on. I don't approve of what's going on. But with respect to their nationality, they don't have citizenship so they are not technically my countrymen and I don't have the affinity for them as I would with a compatriot so they are theoretically not my countrymen.

Do I think they should be forced out? No, I don't. Do I think the Arakanese should be forced to reconcile with them through force? Again, no. Should they be allowed to return to bdesh if they so wish? Yes, I do. This is not some great religious jihad as so many muslims are making it out to be.

They are not Bangladeshi, i think you never read the history of them...you should read it from wikipedia
