Eight die as Rakhine militants clash with Myanmar army

Armless? 500 wielding spears and knives against a single platoon. I would rather be in the 500.

Infront of a tank u need an another tank. Not a stone.

I see you edited this. Not only is it backwards, I am willing to bet that a majority of your intelligent countrymen on this forum believe islam is dragging your country back. Moreso than they are willing to let on. Pakistan's economy is in the doldrums and its economic growth is far lower than its neighbours. Perhaps instead of ranting and raving you should support proposals to remove islam as the state religion as even the backward bangladeshis are considering doing and reduce the political power religious movements in your country enjoy. Think about it.



Yes we are.

Please quote one person who has said islam is responsible for the ills of our country. Dont quote your own brain farts as statements by others. As for our economy every single global economic institution whether IMF or world bank is praising pakistan on its economic reforms with sharp upward growth trend so i would rather believe opinion of experts rather than your wishfulll thinking.

What effect will removing islam as state religion have on our current situation? You are an ignorant person who is racist to core with zero comprehension of our ground situation. Our security situation is regional not religious which pretty evident as we are the only country with balls to show middle finger to indian dominance.

Myanmar army kills 30 Rohingyas
Reuters | Update:
http://en.prothom-alo.com/international/news/129083/Myanmar-army-kills-30-Rohingyas 17:24, Nov 14, 2016

Myanmar’s military has killed about 30 members of what it has described as a Rohingya Muslim militant group, state media said on Monday, marking the largest escalation of the conflict since fighting erupted in the northwest a month ago.
The weekend’s killings in restive Rakhine state have essentially destroyed any hopes for a swift resolution to the fighting and a gradual restoration of communal ties, observers and diplomats say.
Soldiers have poured into the Maungdaw area along Myanmar’s frontier with Bangladesh in the north of Rakhine, responding to coordinated attacks on three border posts on 9 October in which nine police officers were killed.
Security forces have locked down the area, where the vast majority are Rohingya Muslims — shutting out aid workers and independent observers — and conducted sweeps of villages.
Skirmishes took place throughout the weekend with state media reporting casualties sustained both on Saturday and Sunday. The total death toll from the weekend was unclear, but included at least 28 alleged attackers and two soldiers.
This has increased the number of casualties since Oct.9 to more than 60 for the suspected Rohingya Muslim attackers and 17 for the security forces, according to a Reuters estimate based on reports by state-owned media.
The violence is the most serious to hit Rakhine since hundreds were killed in communal clashes in 2012.
Myanmar’s 1.1 million Rohingya Muslims are the majority in northern Rakhine but they are denied citizenship, with many Buddhists regarding them as illegal immigrants from neighbouring Bangladesh. They face severe travel restrictions.
Residents and human rights advocates have accused security forces of summary executions, rapes and setting fire to homes in the recent violence.
Satellite images showed a widespread destruction of Rohingya villages, including some 430 homes that have been burnt down, Human Rights Watch said on Saturday, adding the destruction was worse than initially feared.
The government and the army reject the accusations, saying they were conducting ‘clearance operation’ in the villages in accordance with the rule of law. They have blamed the ‘violent attackers’ for setting fires to homes.
On Sunday, the military killed at least 19 people after coming under attack from a group wielding machetes and wooden clubs, the state-owned Global New Light of Myanmar said.
On Saturday, the army killed six people and called in helicopters to reinforce, the paper said.
Three more bodies of suspected attackers were found ‘in the aftermath of the clearance operation’, it said.
Rohingya rights advocates have spread online video clips showing what they claimed were civilian casualties of the attacks, calling on the international community to investigate.
Because access for independent journalists to the area has been cut, Reuters could not independently verify either the government accounts or the video clips.

Muslim influence in the kingdom of Arakan
Friday, 13 January 2012 14:36
http://www.rohingya.org/portal/inde...uslim-influence-in-the-kingdom-of-arakan.html
14 November 2011

Muslim Arakanese or Rohingya are indigenous to Arakan. Having genealogical linkup with the people of Wesali or Vesali kingdom of Arakan, the Rohingya of today are a perfect example of its ancient inhabitants.

The early people in Arakan were descended from Aryans. They were Indians resembling the people of Bengal. "The area now known as North Arakan had been for many years before the 8th century the seat of Hindu dynasties. In 788 A.D. a new dynasty, known as the Chandras, founded the city of Wesali; this city became a noted trade port to which as many as a thousand ships came annually;… their territory extended as far north as Chittagong; …Wesali was an easterly Hindu kingdom of Bengal following the Mahayanist form of Buddhism and that both government and people were Indian..”[1]

The Burmese do not seem to have settled in Arakan until possibly as late as the tenth century AD.[2] The Rakhines were the last significant group to come to Arakan.[3] They appear to have been an advance guard of Burmans who began to cross the Arakan Yoma in ninth century.[4] And they “could not be genealogically the same as to the people of Dannya Waddy and Wethali dynasties.”[5] In old Burmese the name Rakhine first appeared in slave names in the inscriptions of 12th century. [6] Dr. S.B. Kanango, said the name Rakhine was given by Burman and it was found in 12th to 15th century stone inscriptions of Tuparon, Sagaing. In early days not a single inscription was found in present day speaking Rakhine language. “The scripture of those early days found in Arakan indicate that they were in early Bengali script and thence the culture there also was Bengali.”[7] Hence earlier dynasties are thought to have been Indians, ruling over a population similar to that of Bengal”[8]

But in medieval times there was a reorientation eastward; the area fell under Pagan’s dominance, and Arakanese people began to speak a dialect of Burmese, something that continues to this day. With Burmese influence came ties to Ceylon and the gradual prominence of Theravada Buddhism.[9]

Arabs were the earliest people to travel to the east by sea. They were in contact with Arakan even during the pre-Islamic days. The Arakanese first received the message of Islam from the ship wracked Arabs in 788 A.D. Such ship-wrecks were occurred over and over in the coasts of Arakan and Chittagong.

This Arab presence, with the message of Islam, made up the nucleus of Muslim society in Arakan. Thus in Wesali the Arakanese practised Hinduism, Mahayanist form of Buddhism and Islam. The Burmese military regime affirmed in its official book Sasana Ronwas Htunzepho, published in 1997, “Islam spread and deeply rooted in Arakan since 8th century from where it further spread into interior Burma”. Meanwhile, “the Arab influence increased to such a large extent in Chittagong during mid 10thcentury AD that a small Muslim kingdom was established in this region, and the ruler of the kingdom was called Sultan. Possibly the area from the east bank of the Meghna River to the Naf was under this Sultan.”[10]

Islam developed slowly but surely in natural way. After the advent of Muslim rule in Bengal in 1203, the Muslim population of Arakan increased. Their number grew fast during the Mrauk-U dynasty. There was large scale conversion of Buddhists to Islam during 15th to 18thcenturies. When the Dutch industrialists were ordered by the king to quit Arakan they were afraid of leaving behind their offspring through local wives for fear of their conversion to Islam. “It had been reported at Batavia that these children were being brought up as Muslims, and the pious Dutch Calvinists were extremely horrified”[11]

The relations between Arakan and Chittagong were based on historical, geo-political and ethnological considerations. “The Chittagong region was under the Vesali kingdom of Arakan during the 6th to 8th centuries and under the Mrauk U kingdom of Arakan in the 16th and 17th centuries.”[12] Because of the political, cultural and commercial links between those two territories, Arakan used to be called ‘extended Chittagong’[13].

The 15th century was a great turning point in the history of Arakan; during this time a large contingent of Muslims entered Arakan from Bengal and they went there by invitation of the ruling princes. The cause was political.[14] Here the history of Arakan intersects with the history of India and especially with Bengal. An age old intercourse between Bengal and Arakan has left distinctive marks on various aspects of society, culture and administration of both countries. The Muslims were an integral part in the political entity of Arakan. They were rulers, administrators andkingmakers in Arakan for more than 350 years.

In 1430, after nearly three decades in exile in the Bengali Royal city of Gaur, king Narameikhla also known as Min Saw Mun (1404-1434) returned to Arakan at the head of a formidable force largely made up of Afghan adventurers, who swiftly overcame local oppositions and drove off the Burmans and Mons. This was the start of a new golden age for this country – a period of power and prosperity – and creation of a remarkably hybrid Buddhist- Islamic court, fusing tradition from Persia and India as well as the Buddhist worlds to the east. …This cosmopolitan court became great patrons of Bengali as well as Arakanese literature. Poet Dulat Qazi, author of the first Bengali romance, and Shah Alaol, who was considered the greatest of seventeenth-century Bengali poets, were among the eminent courtiers of Arakan. Mrauk-U kings adopted Muslim titles, appeared in Persian-inspired dress and the conical hats of Isfahan and Mughal Delhi, minted coins and medallions inscribing kalima (Islamic declaration of faith) in Persian and Arabic scripts, spoke several languages.

It was Bengal King Sultan Jalal Uddin (1415-1433 AD) of Gaur, a Hindu convert Muslim who helped Rakhine King Narameit Hla with a strong Muslim force to restore him to his throne in Arakan. “Why Muslim army? Because there virtually was no Rakhaing of prime age left to be soldiers”.[15] So the Muslims were the backbone of the defence “He (Narameikhla) spoke Persian, Hindi, and Bengali on the top of his mother tongue Rakhaing.” [16]

The Arakanese Kings nurtured sincere admiration towards the Muslim communities. “For this reason they entrusted the chief administrative posts of government department including that of the defence to the Muslims.”[17] Burhanuddin, Ashraf Khan, Sri Bara Thakur were distinguished Lashkar Wazirs (Defence or War Ministers); Magan Thakur, Syyid Musa, NavarajMajlis were efficient Prime Ministers; and Syyid Muhammad Khan , Srimanta Sulaiman were capable ministers in Arakan. There were lots of other Muslim ministers, high civil and military officers. They contributed a great deal to the growth of Islamic culture in Arakan.

From 1430 to 1645, for a period of more than two hundred years, the Arakanese kings took Muslim titles and used Muslim names in their coins. They followed Muslim traditions and culture at home, even when there were no good relations with Muslim Bengal. Arakan was turned into a sultanate. Col. Ba Shin, the then Chairman of the Burma Historical Commission states, “Arakan was virtually ruled by Muslim from 1430 to 1531.” [18] It was depicted as an Islamic State in the map of The Times Complete History of the World, showing cultural division of Southeast Asia (distribution of major religions) in 1500.(Edited by Richard Overy, Eighth edition 2010, page 148.)

In accordance with the Muslim tradition like Gaur and Delhi, the whole kingdom of Arakan was provided with the sets of officials by the imperial order. The head of officials was known as Qazi. Some of them were prominent in the history of Arakan. They are Daulat Qazi, Sala Qazi, Gawa Qazi, Shuza Qazi, Abdul Karim, Muhammad Hussain, Osman, Abdul Jabbar, Abdul Gafur, Mohammed Yousuf, Rawsan Ali and Nur Mohammed etc..[19] Gradually a mixed Muslim society and culture developed and flourished around the capital. [20]

This practice was prevalent among the Arakanese kings till the first half of seventeenth century. This was because they not only wished to be thought of as sultans in their own rights, but also because there were Muslims in ever larger number among their subjects. A.P. Phayre observes that the practice of assuming Muslim name and inscribing Kalima in their coins was probably first introduced in fulfilment of the promise made by Mung-Somwun but was continued in later time as a token of sovereignty over Chittagong.[21] He also mentions that “These they assumed as being successorsof Musalman kings, or as being anxious to imitate the prevailing fashion of India.”[22]

Panditta U Oo Tha Aung (Rakhine), honorary archaeological officer of Mrauk-U Museum writes: “Arakan remained vassalage of Gaur until 1531 A.D. In the time of ninth Mrauk-U king, Zeleta Saw Mun, three missionaries, Kadir, Musa and Hanu Meah from the country of Rum Pasha (Delhi Empire) came to Arakan to propagate their religion, Islam. They built mosques all over the country and preached their religion among the people daily. Some people believed in their faith and it spread all over the country. People converted in groups. They gave gifts to the kings and he was very friendly with them. The preachers brought later other ministers from Delhi and Kadir built a mosque at Baung Due, Mrauk-U and other preachers, too, built such mosques through out the country. Their religion flourished much.[23]

By 17th century, the Muslims entered Arakan in a big way on four different occasions; the Arabs in course of their trading activities including the ship wracked ones; the Muslim army, actually two big contingents, in course of restoring the King Saw Mun to Arakanese throne; the captive Muslims carried by pirates in the 16th-17th centuries, and the family retinue of Shah Shuja in 1660 A.D. Of them the army contingents who entered into Arakan with the restored King Min Saw Mun were numerically very great; they also influenced the Arakanese society and culture in a great manner. In the 17th century Muslims thronged the capital Mrohaung and they were present in the miniature courts of ministers and other great Muslim officers of the kingdom.”[24]

According to court poet Shah Aloal, “The Muslim population of Arakan consisted roughly of four categories, namely, the Bengalee, other Indian, Afro-Asian and native. Among these four categories of the Muslims the Bengalee Muslims formed the largest part of the total Muslim population of Arakan. The inflow of the captive Muslims from Lower Bengal contributed much to the ever-increasing Bengalee Muslims in the Arakanese kingdom.”[25]

Thus the Rohingya with bona fide historical roots in the region have evolved with distinct ethnic characteristics in Arakan from peoples of different ethnical backgrounds over the past several centuries. Genealogically Rohingya are Indo-Aryan descendants. Genetically they are an ethnic mix of Bengalis, Indians, Moghuls, Pathans, Arabs, Persians, Turks, Moors and central Asians, and have developed a separate culture and a mixed language, which is absolutely unique to the region. “Dr. Swapna Bhattacharya called this mixed language “Rohingya Bengala”[26]

The picture of the Muslim influence on the King’s Court of Arakan portrayed in the Bengali literature has been presented below:[27]

[“The Arakanese kings could not be free from the influence of the Muslim civilization, politics and culture, which is superior to theirs…They entrusted the chief administrative posts of the government departments including that of the defence to the Muslims. “Lashkar Uzir” or “War Secretary” Asharaf khan was King’s trusted favourite person. The King felt relieved by entrusting all statecraft to him. The Queen also considered him to be more “worth and profoundly learned” than her own son…In fact he ran the country and was the supreme authority. ..Chief poets of the Roshang (Arakan) [when vacant] were not filled without the Muslims. The Muslims were without doubt skilled statesmanship. War Minister of Narapadigyi was Alaol’s first protector and Muslim, Magan Thakur’s father, “Sri Bara Takur”. During Sri Bara Takur’s lifetime, his son “Magan” was holding the post of a minister. King Narapadigyi trusted and loved Magan Takur so much that, at the hour of his death he left his only daughter under Magan’s custody. When this prince became the principal queen of Tado Mintar, she entrusted the Roshang King’s Chief Minister to Magan Thakur realizing the guardianship she enjoyed in childhood.”

“After the death of Thado Mintar, when his son Sandha-thu-dhamma (1652-1684) ascended the throne he had not acquired the skill to run the country yet. Therefore the minor King’s mother ruled as Regent by appointing Magan Thakur as the Chief Minister. After Magan Thakur, Solaiman – another Muslim – filled the position, that is, became the “Prime Minister” (chief counsellor/courtier of the highest rank) of Roshang King Sanda-thu-dhamma. The treasury and general administration of the country was entrusted to this Muslim Chief Minister. During Thanda-thu-dhamma’s rule the important posts of Roshang kingdom were given to the Muslims. Syed Muhammad was his “War Minister” (armed forces minister). Another Muslim named Majlis was “Navaraj” [Nawa-raja] was in the King’s Court. It seems that the civil and criminal courts were run by the Muslim Qazis [judges]. It is known that during that period a man by the name of Saud Shah was a Qazi of Roshang.”]

Followings are some of the developments that reflect Muslim’s influence in Arakan particularly during the glorious period of Mrauk-U dynasty (1430-1784).

1. 1.The Mrauk-U dynasty was a new golden age of power and prosperity with hybrid Buddhist-Islamic court, fusing tradition from Persia and India as well as the Buddhist worlds to the east.
2. 2.Muslim etiquettes andmanners, system of administration copying the imperial courts of Delhi and Guar had been practiced. Taslim or Muslim solution was performed in the king’s palace.
3. 3.The Muslim played the phenomenal roleof kingmakers with Muslim Prime Ministers, Lashkar Wizirs (Defence Ministers), and Ministers, Qadis, other administrators and large contingents of Muslim army.
4. 4.The kings had involuntarily as well as voluntarily to adopt Muslim names and titles “Shah” in addition to Buddhists names and titles. Mrauk-U kings appeared in Persian-inspired dress and the conical hats of Isfahan and Mughal Delhi.
5. 5.Some aristocratic Buddhists, including members of the royal families and class of persons enjoying superior intellectual or social or economic status also willingly adopted Muslim names.
6. 6.Muslim Qazi courts had been set up through out the kingdom.
7. 7.Persian and Bengali languages were patronized and used as the official and court languages of Arakan.
8. 8.Coins and medallions had been struck and issued inscribing “Kalema”, the profession of faith in Islam in Arabic.
9. 9.The people followed the Muslim tradition at home. Buddhist women of those days practice “purda”.
10. 10.Muslim missionary works hit the highest point. People converted into Islam in groups.
11. 11.Muslims were in the control of trade and business. They were the main forces of agriculture. Particularly the alluvial rice-growing valleys of Kaladan River were populated by captives Muslims from
12. 12.Minted coins and medallions inscribing kalima (Islamic declaration of faith) in Persian and Arabic scripts.

Please quote one person who has said islam is responsible for the ills of our country. Dont quote your own brain farts as statements by others. As for our economy every single global economic institution whether IMF or world bank is praising pakistan on its economic reforms with sharp upward growth trend so i would rather believe opinion of experts rather than your wishfulll thinking.

What effect will removing islam as state religion have on our current situation? You are an ignorant person who is racist to core with zero comprehension of our ground situation. Our security situation is regional not religious which pretty evident as we are the only country with balls to show middle finger to indian dominance.

You were bailed out by the IMF only a couple of years ago to prevent a debt crisis and your growth rate is somewhere around 4%. That is anaemic for a developing country in Asia. You are also in the top 20 list of failing states and a notorious proponent of state sponsored terrorism. If you think these issues are unrelated to the level of power your state religion has in your country's hierrarchy then you are deluded.

Not that I care, though, as my gripe is with your former charges (whom you failed as a country to keep in check and failed to govern properly). You should just stay out of this and resist the urge to defend any perceived sleight against your religion of choice with your wailing and hollering.

 

[bluesky]

we Burmese would have pushed into Bengal,

What makes you wait even now? The British are gone long ago, though! Five asses together cannot make a horse. Myanmar will remain the underdog in the ASEAN and a shame to Asia.

Myanmar army has our full support in this endeavour. Please wipe these terrorists out and burn and salt the land where they got support from in any way.

Since when the Indian poor have elected you their representative Prime Minister?

First get rid of your retard beggar monks then talk about other religion. Burmese are the most fanatics when it comes to religion. You even earned the terrorist stigma for Buddhist religion as a whole. Buddhism should be reverted back from Burmese for giving it bad name.

Our current GDP Projection for next year by world bank is 5.4%. Our GDP is almost 300 billion. The fact that you are ranting about religion non stop shows you have no idea about state of affairs in pakistan. Give me one example where Islam is a driving force of an institution of pakistan. Like i said earlier you a racist bastard with hate for muslims in general. You dont need to declare Religion as state religion in order to be a lunatic. The biggest examples of this are mayanmar and india who masacre minority muslims on basis of twisted budhist and hindu philosphies.

As far as your countrys economic state of affairs are concerned compared to pakistan then all FACTS are staring at your mug which are one search away on google. We are happy with how our country is running as despite fighting repeated wars with india and having a neighbour like afghanistan we are far better than your country so please dont lecture us on economics. What is more pathetic is that Mayanmar which has no enemies whatsoever fares even worse than many african nations so fix your own house first.

Your God Pakistani army considers themselves as Warriors of Allah first than Pakistani soldiers.

It's religion religion religion all over written on military institutions of Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

Jihad-fi-Sabilillah
The real objective of Islam is to shift the lordship of man over man to the lordship of Allah on the earth and to stake one's life and everything else to achieve this sacred purpose. The Arabic word “Jihad” means to struggle “or” to strive. In as much as “Jihad” is a struggle, it is a struggle against all that is perceived as evil in the cause of that which is perceived good, a cosmic and epic struggle spanning time and all dimensions of human thought and action, and transcending the physical universe. The Islamic Law regulates declaration of Jihad as also the limitations are imposed on its conduct. In Chapter II verse 190 of The Holy Quran the reference to the duty of the Muslims to “fight in the cause of God those who fight you and be not aggressors. God loveth not those who are aggressors”.

the GoM falsely claim the Rakhine Muslims are not Arakanese, but Bengali from Bangladesh. This false claim directly involves today's Bangladesh. The Rakhine Muslims are descendants of Muslims from Bengal in 1430. Rakhine is their native country since

GOM was nothing wrong. they are doing what they should be.. dont mix indigenous Rakhine muslims ( Kaman ) with this so-called Rohingya which just cross from bangladesh in last decades.. there is no rohingya even before 1960.. the name 'rohingya ' was made by some people who want to make islamic region in arakan and pretended to be an indigenos race of arakan..


King Min Saw Mon (1404-1434 ) regained his throne with military assistance from sultanate of bangal.. some people of bangal come along with him and ( believed to be served as troops of arakan kings )
Richard, Arthus (2002). history of Rakhine Boston, MD:

In 1663 ,a mughal prince who want to overthrow the king of arakan and his followers inducted into palace guard archer units of arakan kingdom who are from muslim indo-Aryan ethnic group..
(Harvey, G. E. (1925). History of Burma: From the Earliest Times to 10 March 1824. London: Frank Cass & Co. Ltd.)

these people become indigenous muslim race of Arakan.. naming 'KAMAN' ( in persian - bow ).. not LIAR ROHINGYA.. So they already desrved for our indigenous race and already become one of main race in Arakan..

 

[TopCat]

You are correct, rohingyas were never part of Rakhine arakan rather Maungdaw and Budhidaung wrongly given to burma which created all the problem. These two township was always belonged to native rohingyas who never assimilated with rakhine or Burma. My suggestion is that Burma should federally administer this region instead of through Rakhine administration.

 

[Aung Zaya]

Their number grew fast during the Mrauk-U dynasty. There was large scale conversion of Buddhists to Islam during 15th to 18thcenturies.

and they built the temples and Buddha statues all over arakan... lol

He has personal grudge against you people for obvious reasons.(You guys bash India in every occasion and when treated same then cry foul)

Anyway peace should prevail and development is the key.
