Thousands of Buddhist Monks March Demanding Justice for
Arakanese Victims
By BDC News (London) 05.09.2012
Tens of thousands of Buddhist monks and people of Burma turn-out to
show their support for President U Thein Sein of Burma who publicly
proposed illegal Bengali foreigners, so-called Rohingya, to put them in the
camps under the supervision of UN and sent them to any third countries
who are willing to take them.
Monks in Burma are not allowed to vote in the elections and they cannot
sit in the parliament according to the 2008 constitution drafted and
adopted unilaterally by previous military regime. Monks are especially nothappy that they are marginalised in Burma since they cannot voice out their
concerns.
Addition, government formed Commission to investigate recent Arakan
conflict faces the criticism of people of Burma since there is no Buddhist
Religious Leaders i.e. Buddhist Monks included even though there are more
than 500, 000 strong Buddhist Monks in Burma.
It is also contrary to see Burma as a Buddhist majority countrymarginalised Buddhist monks in everyday of life by the regime, said a
Burmese scholar who does not want to reveal his name.
He said if we look at other Muslims majority countries such as Maldives --
Islam is the official religion and open practice of any other religion is
forbidden and liable to prosecution.
He went on explained that in Pakistan Islam was declared the state
religion. The Constitution stated Pakistan's official name as the IslamicRepublic of Pakistan. Only a Muslim could become the President or the
Prime Minister of Pakistan. No law repugnant to Islam shall be enacted and
the present laws shall also be Islamised. Addition, Sharia law, an Islamic
law, is above the supreme high court and above all the laws in Pakistan.
People of Burma pointed out that there is no Buddhist Monk included in
the Arakan Investigation Commission even though representatives from all

major religious leaders such as Muslims, Christians and Hindus included in
it.
One of the Buddhist Monk Leaders who joined the mass rally said in the
media interview that We dont have any rights to vote nor we dont haveany place to raise our voice to be heard. This is one of the reasons why we
are demonstrating.
People of Burma are very outraged to learn that Human Rights Watch
(HRW) is acting as the paid machineries for so-called Rohingya Bengali
foreigners. Burmese correctly pointed out the fact that Human Rights
Watch (HRW) is totally biased with so-called Rohingya Bengali.
Burmese said that Human Rights Watch (HRW) got only interest inmaking money so that they favour so-called Rohingya Bengali since they
can be the useful money making tools securing various funding under the
disguising masks of Human Rights.
People of Burma make very clear that recent Arakan conflict is nothing to
do with the religion but everything to do with foreigner Chitagonian
Bengalis from Bangladesh illegally entering Burma killing indigenous
Arakanese of Burma.
For genuine Burmese activists, they are not surprised to see HRW is
becoming a network of the ferocious propaganda mercenaries of so-called
Rohingya Bengali since they have long been brain-washed by various so-
called Rohingya Bengali groups around the world for more than two
decades.
An anonymous comment in response to biased report of HRW put his view
this way that
The story told by the natives must be listened. The reflections of people
of Burma must be respected. Human Rights Watch reports heavily biased
report based on deep hatred towards the Burmese military government,
willingly or unwillingly damaging the nation's culture, identity and the
rights of the native people. Human Rights Watch reports was written by
interview only to Rohingyas (one sided) or using Muslim reporters who
have religious duty to protect fellow Muslims. Human Rights Watch
promotes terrorism, violence by protecting illegal migrants, criminals.

Human Rights Watch reports based on inaccurate history written by
historians who had never lived in the region, ignoring the living history
told by the native Arakanese and the history appears in favour of the
natives. Human Rights Watch interferes with civil society order and a
country's sovereignty by falsify history, legalized illegal migration, inciteviolence by protecting criminals. It is sad to see people died in India,
because of the Human Rights Watch report about Rohingyas in Burma.
At the high of the Arakan crisis, so-called Rohingya exploited the religion
as the tool to do their propaganda promoting religious hatred and religious
intolerance against Buddhist. As the results, a lot of Pakistan based Islamic
extremists networks fan the flame by using doctored images with
fabricated stories spreading lies and hoax rumours.
Sayardaw U Wirathu who led the rally in Mandalay interviews with
France 24 said that it is a question of justice. Venerable U Wirathu said
that
We wanted the world to know that the Rohingya are not among the 135
different ethnic groups that are recognised in Burma. We also wanted to
make sure everyone knew that we, as Burmese people, do not condone their
acts of violence. Lastly, we wanted to highlight the importance of bordersecurity, by pointing out the fact that there have been some on the western
border which runs along Bangladesh in the past who were not concerned
with Arakans security and did their job carelessly. We have lived
peacefully among different religions and ethnicities for years. But we now
have these illegal Bengali immigrants demanding to be recognised as a
native ethnic group and asking to be granted citizenship. We want people
to know the truth, that the Rohingya are not Burmese and that they are not
a peaceful group.
The spark started when three Muslim Bengalis, so-called Rohingya, gang
raped the Buddhist Arakanese girl and murdered her by slitting the throat.
The Arakan crisis started when terrorists Chittagong Bengali Muslims who
labelled themselves as Rohingyas had set fire on Arakanese Buddhist
houses and murdering dozens of Buddhist Arakanese villagers in the area of
northern Arakan state where Chittagong Bengali Muslims are majority of
the populations.

Burma is a nation of various different religions peacefully coexisting for
centuries. Burmese see recent Arakan conflict as the foreigners Bengalis
illegal immigrants so-called Rohingya murdering local indigenous
Arakanese people.
