Panthay come out and say that they are not ill treated over and over again. So Barmese Buddhist is not directed against Muslims but certain bad element of Muslims who adhere to Islamofascism.
Chinese Muslims are going to show Islamo how to behave, to the chagrin of Islamo who always want bad and who always rant they got discriminated.
The Bangala Muslim should soul search and behave themselves.
Panthay Muslims protect their name
Although Mandalay Region has been the scene of tension between the Buddhist and Muslim communities, such as the violence in Meiktila one year ago, U Maung Maung Lay downplayed concerns that anti-Muslim prejudice affects the Panthay community.
He said the residents of the Panthay quarter on 80th Street worked hard to keep good relations with their Buddhist neighbours, and added that much of the anger ostensibly directed against Muslims was in fact aimed at ethnic Indians.
“There have always been frictions between the Indians [and the Myanmar],” he said, adding the Panthays managed to stay outside the fray.
“The new generation is proud of Panthay culture,” he said. “I call myself Panthay, but my heart is with Myanmar and the Panthays.”
1.In his book, The Great Arab Conquests, Gen Sir Glub Pasha mentions that the monsoon winds was discovered in 50 BC by the Byzentine navigator Hiploatus. Thereafter began the east-west sea trade - between Canton and Aden. In the course of these journeys ships got lost, damaged,etc. Crew got sick. Local or older sailors were required for part of the journey. These resulted in Arabs and semi-Arab colonies coming up at particular points. Arakan coast upto modern Swandip was good halting place to collect additional merchandise from SA. Rich forests provided good timber for repairs and building new ships.
some may be.. but i deny the last word !! they just add another name to call easily in Myanmar community... dude..!! for instance.. My friend from Germany, a German , come Myanmar to meditate every year.. let's say.. his name is Gaius Cornelius . difficult to pronounce and not friendly in Myanmar.. hence he named himself U Kaung Kin( Sky ) to call easily in Myanmar... in this case.. his nationality and religion is not changed.. but just only his name..
There was no Burma as such in 1942. It was been contested by the British and Japanese. The muslims took advantage of this lawless situation to exact a vendetta in 1942.
