Burma: Why Such Silence Over Muslim Genocide?

PKKH Exclusive | By Aneela Shahzad

Buddha came and went, with his message of peace and love; he preached common-sense humanity. Would Buddha be more concerned with the revering of his towering statues, in decorated pagodas or would he be more eager to hold the hand of a suffering fellow human. Would Buddha not be hurt to see, of all people, those upholding his name, treating fellow beings in the most brutal, inhumane ways?

The Rohingyas are the largest minority of Burma, comprising of ethnically Bengali Muslims who migrated to this land after the British had conquered it, in 1886, as cheap labor and settled in the Rakhine province. The plight of the Rohingya is that the Burmese Buddhist majority has never accepted them as their own; after more than a century and several generations the Rohingya haven’t earned a right to claim Burma as their homeland.

Right from their inception into Burma the Rohingya have been facing hatred and riots against them, the riots have become increasingly systematic and the massacre has been widespread.



The major uprisings against the Muslims in 1930, 1938, 1997, 2001 and now in 2012 have witnessed major human rights violations and among other Muslim of Burma, have left thousands upon thousands of Rohingya massacred. But due to the strict control of the government over the information media the real numbers of killings are never released and estimates may go in the tens of thousands each time.

Each time the Rohingya face these waves of slaughter and are persecuted with murder, enslavement, forced imprisonment, torture and rape in the several days between mass killings, there are apt to flee the country. Devastated by the onslaught the Rohingya families would grab whatever their hands can hold and flee towards the boats; if land cannot give them refuge perhaps the water would. At such time of desperation the Rohingya have one hope in their illusioned hearts; that perhaps they can go back to Bangladesh. But what has happened to them every time is extremely heartbreaking and inhumane.

Each time the Rohingyas are hurled into boats, by the force of the riots and the designs of the Rakhine people, these boats are deliberately escorted by official boats into deep seas and left on their own there. A large number of these boats, laden with hungry, wretched, people sink in the ocean; a few that manages to reach the shores of Bangladesh, are unwelcomed. The Rohingyas are either forced to return or to remain stranded in narrow shore areas by the Bangladesh authorities.

Here are some eye-witness excerpts from a Rohingya blog upon the recent and ongoing 2012 riots against the Rohingyas. The material depicts these riots to be systematically organized genocides.

Excerpt 1:


28 June; Twenty two villagers were arrested from Anukpin Village of Rathedaung Township earlier and on June 27, again 60 villagers were arrested from the said village by army and Nasaka. After arrest, they were sent to Rakhine villages where they were tortured severally by Rakhine villagers. … fate of the arrested villagers is not known to their relatives. The village has about 1000 houses, of them, 60 houses were burned down by Rakhines with the help of army and Nasaka …. Besides, 350 houses from Mozai Dia village and 150 houses of Sarat Pyin village were burned down into ashes by a group of Rakhine extremists in front of army and Nasaka…. They also co-operate with the racist Rakhines for arson attack to the Rohingya villages. The Burmese media also highlighted that the Rakhines are suffering from crisis of food and shelter, showing artificial Rakhine refugees who have been taking shelter in Nasaka camps and Buddhist monasteries…]

Excerpt 2:


[…many Rohingya villagers in Rathedaung Township have been suffering from food, shelter, medicine crisis since the event were broken out…. villagers were flooded by heavy rain fall in Rathedaung. There is no place to take shelter whose houses had already burned down…. the villagers are passing their days and nights with terrible situation for fear of arrest and torture

Besides, the army and Nasaka are arresting the Rohingya villagers continuously, especially from Nurrullah Para, Kilaidaung, Sarcumbo, Horsara and Sombonna villages and other villagers of Maungdaw Township. The authorities are targeting mostly to Rohingya young people even 10-12 year old boys. It is learnt that the young boys were stabbed by Natala villagers, after arrest.
The authorities also took away cattle, goats, rice, fowls and valuables from Rohingya villagers. Every night, the armies, Nasaka accompanied by Rakhines go to the said villages and make arbitrary arrest to the villagers. So, the villagers flee from the villages leaving their family members in the villages. Taking this advantage, the authorities assault the Rohingya women and young girls in the villages. This is the daily basis occurrence in the Rohingya villages.]

Excerpt 3:


[According to the information we received in the past 15 days, the death number of Rohingyan is exceeded over 10,000 from Sittwe city alone and similar number from Maungdaw, Rathedaung and Kyauktaw townships. Most of them were shot dead, brutally beaten to death, burnt alive and killings of thousands of the rest of those taken away by security forces into hidden areas. At least, 25,000 of Rohingya houses were burnt down and more than 100,000 are homeless all over Sittwe, Maungdaw, Rathedaung, Rambre Island and Kyauktaw townships.

It is not fighting each other but it is another terror of well planned genocide by Rakhines cooperatively with local armed forces. From the beginning, Curfew and Order are restored only for Rohingya and confined within their homes. While Rakhines are openly allowed to trespass and attack Rohingya villages. Local security forces who are also Rakhine are sided with Rakhine people and explored more brutal crimes that include shooting fires into the houses and letting its partisan Rakhines to torch fire. Again, Rohingyans those came out from homes were brutally beaten and slaughtered and those fleeing were shot fires regardless of women or children. Plus, sexual abuses, looting goods and cash.

In advance, waters, electric, foods are cut-off and restriction imposed in Rohingya villages since 3 June. So, it is all about well-planned ethnic-cleansing pogrom systematically turned into religious violence…. Rohingyans are ending-up between gun-fires of security forces and lethal knives of Rakhine people. This time they can’t escape because security forces rounded up all the way out, those hiding in remote areas were also attacked by Rakhines and security forces and navy forces are patrolling across the beach and eliminating them]

How are hearts turned to stone, how does the Burmese populace and authority alike, fill itself with such hatred, how do the lovers of Buddha harbor such animosity for their neighbours through generations. How do they trample upon and burn religious books, how do they raze mosques to the ground by bulldozers. And how do they push their own people into the dark ocean of death. It is a pity that we, as Pakistani are unable to reach the drowning hands of our brothers and sisters; therefore is this appeal to the Burmese, to please find your Buddha in your hearts and warp these wretched people in the arms of your mercy.

Pakistan is one of the largest refugee holding countries of the world, we have more than 1,900,000 refugees on our land. We never ask them to go back, we never stop them from earning a living, in fact we are fast in forgetting that they are not one of us. Currently Burma ranks as the 4th most highly corrupted nation out of 183 by the Transparency International. Burma’s admittance to ‘Least Developed Country’ status by the UN in 1987 highlights its economic bankruptcy. Perhaps the first step for Burma to enter the community of respectable and prosperous nations is to raise herself in the human-rights index, it doesn’t cost much and strengthens her from the core.

Our final message to the people of Burma and our Muslim brethren there is that they should keep in mind the events of history and how Muslims have answered to the call of their brethren in the past. If Bin Qasim could cross the sea to save the passengers of a ship at Debal and if Pakistan can take a beating for their brothers in Afghanistan then the page of history can turn on Burma too.

Do you also pray for the millions of innocent hindus killed by muslims?

Burma is already a bloody place, so murder of innocent people is not surprising anymore to the west.

^
killing of any innocent soul is not acceptable be the person hindu,buddhist,jew,muslim or christian.that is clear enough in the holy Quran.anyone killing anyone because of the person's beliefs,religion,sect or ethnicity is clearly going against the teachings of Islam.oppression is condemned in islam.

How sad for our brothers in Burma.
may Allah grant them succour and protect them from the oppressors.

LagosShia: ^oppression is condemned in islam.

What do you call slavery? Is slavery haraam?

definitely,if slavery amounts to oppressing another human being who is innocent (note:not a prisoner of war from enemy terrirtory) then it is haram.

Ha ah! I thought Buddhist were all about devotion, inner peace, ying yang stuff. What is happening! Looks like people are abandoning truth and reason.

Who would have thought Buddhist will react this way. Are their monks all gone or what could have made them snap?

Naa wah.

Human beings are capable of the most heinous crimes, it goes beyond religious affiliations.

Stop the Genocide!!!

Burma

^It is okay for you to create awareness about any deplorable situation but go easy on posting graphic content.

Thank you.

this is one news that won't make it on the pages of CNN, BBC, or any of the western news organization. it does not help their cause of negating Islam. Any way may The Almighty help the victimes and give the government of Burman a way to handle this crisis.

soooo true and of all God creatures human beings are the only ones that kills their fellow beings for sport or enjoyement. the other creatures do it for need . it makes you question the saying man is the 'intelligent' animal.

it is even more sad when persecution is coupled with poverty and weakness.the world keep going round as if nothing is happening in burma.it is so sad.if these were the so called "islamists" killing and wasting lives,the entire world would have used it to further demonize and tarnish the image of Muslims.but now we have the "spiritual" and "good" buddhists people who are wasting human life like beasts.

People like you harden my heart. Why dont you focus on the innocent christians killed by Boko Haram.


Yes, Burma is deadly place and it is wrong. But your country is facing something similar. Have you made a thread to pray fothe christians killed by Boko Haram? If not, you are a hypo......

^

you like talking nonsense in everything thread and even make lies.you're best ignored.

May almighty Allah protect the muslims in burma and all muslims, and to the dead victims may Allah[swt] grant them Al-Janah

LagosShia: ^

Truth is bitter?

[b]@Maclatunji

please stop hiding the posts of the graphic pictures.it is enough to warn people in the title of the thread that there are graphic pictures.those who use their discretion to view them should take responsibility for themselves.

let the world see the barbarity committed by buddhists,the "peaceful and devotional" people against helpless Muslim civialians who did no harm or crime against them or the country of burma.if these crimes were committed by any Muslim or group of Muslims no matter if they form a minority or differ in views with the majority of Muslims,the world of kufr (disbelief) would not have shied to expose these pictures no matter how graphic and rub them in our faces.

so please Mac,the truth is bitter.please expose those pictures and unhide them let the world see buddhist barbarity and the inhumanity of kufr.these pictures would serve as proof when/if the Muslims in Burma decide one day to take up arms to fight against oppression.those that would call them "terrorists" would be reminded by these pictures of what the Muslims had suffered.[/b]

The ones that have not been hidden here are bad enough. You want to inform people of the situation not make them ill.

lmao. I am not complaining about the pain for the massacre of muslims by extremists in Burma. I am complaining that LagosShia has never made a thread about praying for christians that are murdered by muslims in Nigeria Boko Haram style.



When atheists are massacring christians or jews or muslims pls call me

Burma has a population 75 million with the Muslim population being just 0.7 million. The Burmese Muslims have been under this affliction after 1962 when the Army usurped the power in Burma. It all started on 3rd June 2012 when 11 innocent Muslims were killed by the Burmese Army and the Buddhist mobs after bringing them down from a bus. A vehement protest was carried out in the Muslim majority province of Arakan, but the Protestants fell victims to the tyranny of the mobs and the army.

Trying to elude capture and an imminent killing; Burmese Muslims thronged to the Bangladeshi border, but all they met was dismay. The Government of Bangladesh refused to offer them asylum.

Over 500 Muslim villages have been incinerated hither-to. Thousands have been exterminated. The persecution of the Burmese Muslims at the hands of the Buddhist mobs is at its full swing. Yet all the human rights organizations have maintained a criminal silence up till now. Has the Muslim world become so callous that they remain undeterred by such genocide?

This is not a new thing or an unprecedented massacre. Muslims have been a subject to such hostility even before. If we go through the
annals of history we come to the very tenable conclusion that Muslims were always on the suffering side. Islam is a religion of peace and
harmony. It doesn’t allow its followers to lay-waste any other tenet. This leaves behind a big question mark. Why are the followers
of such a peaceful religion being oppressed from time to time?

The fear stricken faces of the poor Burmese Muslims really cuts one apart. The glimpse of their bruised bodies is a heart rending
spectacle. Where is the UN now? Why isn’t the International media highlighting this issue? Why are the competitive authorities of the
Muslim world procrastinating?

Stop killing the Burmese Muslims. JI did a meritorious job by staging rallies against this brutality. The government of Pakistan should
raise a voice in favor of the poor Burmese Muslims at the international forum. The whole Muslim world should join hands to get
the poor Burmese out of their distress and misery.

In lieu of launching into a tirade against the killings, something should be done on the ground. If we don’t help out our brothers there then we are equally responsible for their bloodshed. We won’t be able to satisfy our conscience, and the abrasive cries of the Burmese Muslims will keep on pinching us throughout our lives.
