    Rohingya, Dictators, and Democracy in Myanmar

    First of all, please accept my apology for my Englishs weak points, and request you to be

    patient in reading as I am not a professional writer, nor a politician.

    In Myanmar, whenever government face any political failure, she gear up pressure of

    persecution on Rohingya people or Islam. To do this systematically, the government gives

    training all of her servants including police, immigrations, officers, educators and religiousmonks against Islam and Muslims. Christians are also persecuted but not much like Muslims.

    There was an anti-Chinese riot in 1967, killed many Chinese and looted their properties, later,

    Burmese Buddhists look Chinese as pro-Buddhist partners, and they believe that they can make

    Chinese to be Theravada Buddhists easily.

    Muslims dedicatedly and sincerely worked for Myanmar during the Dynasties periods, colonial

    periods, and parliament democratic periods but in the Socialist government period, the

    government started to restrict Muslims rights, and cleared Muslim history especially primary

    sources such as ancient monuments, books, peoples who were educated. The government hasbeen using divide and rule policy to make Muslims as dangerous threat for the country.

    Immigrations slogan is The earth cannot swallow population, people can swallow Myanmar

    population, it applies for the Muslims only. In the government schools, Buddhist worship-

    rooms are installed and every morning before students start the lessons they should recite

    Buddhist religious saying including the Muslims students, whoever doesnt like to recite got

    punishment.

    After 1988 demonstrations, the government has been encouraging to do Buddhist activities in

    every street, every quarter, and every office. As the same time, she has been warning the danger

    of Islam and Muslims. She uses Immigration law as the main persecution tool. It is very easy toclear all evidences of Muslims but in Arakan State, it is very difficult because there are a lot of

    historical monuments, records, and primary sources. So her main priority target became

    Arakanese Muslims called Rohingya. Firstly, she destroyed and cleared all historical

    monuments which proved that Rohingya are original inhabitants of Myanmar. There are still

    thousands of historical facts that affirmed Rohingyas existence before British occupied

    Myanmar in 1826-1885. If you study Random Houses Compact Atlas of World History, page

    60 and 61, you could find map of Islamic State in the Arakan. Thousands of historians wrote

    including Myanmar historian about Rohingya and Muslims but the government is still denying

    Rohingyas existence. It is like a person who feels suns light and heat, then denies theexistence of Sun.

    There are hundreds of Muslims historical monuments and documents which had already

    cleared; you could find those only in the books. There are many books in which they wrote

    against Muslims and Islam including government publication.

    Now I would like to show you some of Rakhine Bangali Awakyunethas attitude toward Islam

    and Muslims. Could you please let me show you some pictures which are uncivilized but to

    solve the problem, you should keep in mind their attitude.

    1. http://www.facebook.com/komaykoloemuslimmeans Muslims f*** their own mothers.

    2. One forth of World population believes Kabaa as Holy Place but Awakyunetha RakhineBuddhists make it according to their desire shown below.

    3. Muslims are not allowed to eat pork but their desire is to force Muslims eating pork.

    In Burmese, they wrote in this picture that these pigs are for Muslim.

    4. We have been f***ing Muslims Girls; it costs only 5000 Kyat for each.

    5. They insult Muslims in such an inhuman way that no human race in the World human

    history insults another human race.

    Pig Muslim, Penis Muslim, Mother F***er Muslim, Dog Muslim, Muslims must be driven out

    of this country, we dont want dog-Muslims.

    6. Not only in the online WebPages, they have been insulting Muslims and Islam but also indaily newspapers, journals, magazines, and books too, you could find such usage.

    7. The policies using by regime against Muslims and Islam are to make the Buddhist happyand get their support only.

    8. I have read a lot of Buddhist religious books; I havent seen any kind of hatred in theirbooks except Awakyunetha Rakhine Buddhists. Not only in Myanmar but also in

    aboard, Awakyunetha like Dr. Aye Chan have been writing against Islam and Muslims.

    Dr. Aye Chan called Rohingya people Influx Viruses in his book. Hitler killed people

    but he didnt think those as viruses. Dr. Aye Chan like people are worse than Hitler but

    the world did take any action.

    9. Daw Aung San Suu Kyi has been facing a harder time than house arrest; among NLDparty member, there are Rakhine Buddhists who not only deny the existence of Rohingya

    but also hate her for her standing of human right and justice, Rakhine do not welcome her

    as national leader, they call her Kalama, a word they use for a Muslim woman. They

    insult her as if she is a Muslim woman. In the following picture, Hajah Daw Suu and her

    wrong members said we suffered a lot.

    10.Government has been clearing Muslim history and Muslim historical Mosques;programming to hatred Muslims through newspapers, journals, magazines, and T.V

    channels openly and intentionally.

    If the world really wants democracy in Myanmar, the world should give pressure on China.

    China, the most populated country is Myanmars neighbor; Chinese have been entering

    Myanmar and getting Myanmar identities easily if they claimed that they are Buddhist.

    Nearly 40% of Myanmar Buddhists are half Chinese. 60% of Myanmars economy belongs

    to Chinese. Personally, I dont hate China and Chinese, my intention is to figure out

    Myanmars double standard policy. China cannot give up advantages she got from

    Myanmar. So she stands for Myanmar. Muslims world is Chinese close friend; they should

    know Chinese support toward Myanmar and its result toward Muslim of Myanmar. Whoever

    died in Arakan State, Chinese Government, Myanmar Government, and Awakyunetha

    Rakhine like Dr. Aye Maung are responsible for those dead. Because of their selfish desires,

    innocent people are dying, suffering, and starving. They played this game to suffocate Daw

    Aung San Suu Kyis neck. Muslim world blame Daw Aung San Suu Kyi for her silence

    regarding Rohingya people, if she says a word for Rohingyas side she will be house arrested

    again.

    The Whole Muslims World should pressure on China, if they really want to save Islams dignity

    and Rohingyas lives. Muslims World has two options; be tolerated and let Rohingya people

    die, and pressure on China as soon as possible.

    It is the time for International Community to interfere in Myanmar democratic movement and

    support democratic groups spiritually as well as politically. Otherwise, Myanmar will be the

    worse dictatorship in the world in the name of democracy.
