India and Myanmar working together to combat terrorist threat

[Loki]

While this is a serious injustice, I do see muslim being concerned mainly because Rohingya are muslims and not because they are human. I've even read an article title in a newspaper 'threat of increasing radicalisation muslims in the West over attitude about persecution of Rohingya'. It was a paid-subscribers only article and I hope it's bullshit.
One strategy of Islam namely is to seek out persecution to sell a casus belli, so they can use violence.

That being said, nobody should be treated inhumanely like that of course, not even muslims. Even if their religion has its obvious downsides and dangers.

You are right. This Rohingya affair is very politicized. It wouldn't have reached CNN headlines if it wasn't. There's a lot of hypocrisy coming from those who are calling for help for the Rohingyas, though. I hate hypocrisy.

'Terrorist problem' seem to be a newly designed code for muslim problem in Asia (and elsewhere), that gook lady ‎Aung San whatever the fuck her name is should nobel peace price be taken away, she doesn't deserve any recognition, respect and certainly not highest prize for humanity when she is part of vile human annihilation which takes place in her country.

Ohh come on, should crime not be regarded as crime anymore, if this did happen in opposite direction you'd acknowledge and condemn but since they are muslim something fishy must be concealed on these troubling matter, crime is not a hypocrisy but those who minimize it or ignore it entirely like Myanmar leader is really a hypocrisy and an offence for those affected there.

I knew she was a fake from the beginning. Just another Asian SJW hero being propped up by Hollywood and the Liberal elitists.

She's that one individual when you evaluate wrong person with no criteria or proven humanity work, she had her chance but failed miserably at most basic step to stand up against annihilation of most vulnerable group in her country, what's worse she indirectly accuse Rohingya for sponsoring terrorism and funny enough spreading, fake news....like come on, footage from different news sources now are being staged by forth world Rohingya, I can easily say nobel peace prize has gone to most uncredible person ever.

Aside from the sciences, any Nobel prize for social related issues are politically motivated.

I agree, her case is enough to discredit nobel peace prize because it leaves no space of justification when you give a prize to someone with suspicious past.

I don't have a problem with them reporting this. I have a problem with them NOT reporting other stuff, and turning a blind eye. They have a pick-and-choose mentality.

Absolutely.

This news article is instructive and gives clues to understand today's Myanmar and its raging nationalism and xenophobia, which has it roots in British colonial times.

Initially an Indian province, Burma always nourished a love/hatred relationship with its large neighbor. Burma is predominantly Buddhist and India was the birthplace of Buddhism.

The Burmese (also called Bamas) originally inhabitated the Irrawaddy valley. In 1885, they were defeated by the British army, the monarchy was abolished and Burma was incorporated into the British Raj.
Under the British rule, Rangoon soon became a flourishing harbor, and welcomed many immigrants, especially from India, but also many Chinese coolies. In the late 1920's, Rangoon welcomed almost as many migrants as New York City. Burmese became a minority in their own country.
As a result, Burmese nationalism grew up, and many riots directed against the Indians and the Chinese broke out. The Burmese nationalist movement took its inspiration from the Irish independentist party Sinn Féin, and got inspired by both European far-left and far-right.

In 1937, Burma became a British colony distinct from India, and the following year, the riots started to become anti-Muslim and anti-immigration.
During WW2, the Burmese were allied to the Japanese "liberators" whereas the Karens fought with the British.

In 1947, the country became independent, and many ethnicities like the Shans decided to joined the Burmese in their new state. But the Burmese, after being part of a minority in their own land weren't really willing to be a pluriethnic state.
Today, the regime of Myanmar recognizes 130 different ethnicities, but many people, and the Muslim Rohingyas are the most famous among them, are denied official status.
