<span style="color: #454545;">1. As some anxiety is being felt
about the disorders in
North Arakan and as little seems to be known of the factors involved, I
have thought it worthwhile to put on record what I know of the
background. I
must emphasise that this is mainly based on recollections from my own
personal
experience, including two years in the area during the war, and though I
believe all the statements in it to be true, they ought not to be
accepted too
uncritically. I enclose five additional copies in case you think it
worth
sending them to our High Commissions. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<u><span style="color: #454545;">The Area</span></u><span style="color: #454545;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="yiv2088333215msonormal" style="background-color: white; margin: 0in 0in 12pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #454545;">2. North Arakan consists
essentially of three river valleys, the Naaf, the Mayu, and the Kaladan,
which
run roughly in a north-east to south-west direction. The two latter
converge at
Akyab, the political, economic and geographical centre of the area. The
alluvial floors of the river valleys are very fertile and produce large
quantities of rice, vegetables and other crops. The hills between the
valleys
rise to about 2,000 feet, are extremely rocky, steep and broken, and are
for
the most part covered with thick scrub and bamboo jungle. There are no
hard
roads (apart from a short road from Buthidaung to Maungdaw) and the
earth roads
made during the war will, by now, have reverted to jungle. Almost all
the
transport, even between neighbouring villages, is by water. The
Pakistan-Arakan
boundary runs up the estuary of the Naaf river and thence north-eastward
into
the hills.</span><br />

<span style="color: #454545;"> 3.
The Arakanese are Buddhists, and are an offshoot of the Burmese race,
speaking
a strongly differentiated form of the Burmese language. In the 16<sup>th</sup><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>and 17<sup>th</sup><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>centuries, Arakan was a powerful
and
important kingdom, stretching to Chittagong in the north, where there
was an
Arakanese Viceroy, and preying on the shipping of the Mogul Empire in
Bengal.
The kingdom was subdued by the Burmese at the end of the 18<sup>th</sup><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>century, and came under British
rule
in 1825. There is a fairly strong admixture of Indian blood in the
Arakanese,
who are generally regarded as the Scots of Burma. Before the war there
was a small but powerful and influential Arakanese aristocracy who
provided many
of Burma’s ablest politicians and civil servants, and most of her few
successful native business men.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="color: #454545;">4. These are an off-shoot
of the Bengali race, speaking a debased form of Bengali interlarded with
Portuguese, Arabic and Arakanese words. They are much more hard working
and
prolific than the Arakanese and fanatically religious. They are also
great seamen:
Chittagongian “lascars” manned about 20% of the British merchant navy
during
the war. <b>For the last several hundred years, they have been moving
southwards,
gradually displacing and over-running the Arakanese, until in 1941 there
were
only a few scattered groups of Arakanese villages left in the Chittagong
district, and nearly one-third of the 700,000 inhabitants of the Akyab
district
were Moslems, mostly concentrated in the Northern part of the district.</b>
There
was a great deal of inter-marriage between the races, usually between
Chittagongian men who had come South in search of work and Arakanese
women. The
children of these marriages were brought up as Moslems and assimilated
to the
Chittagongian outlook. Every year at ploughing and harvest, about 20,000
Chittagongians from the north moves southward across the frontier and
found
temporary employment in the rice fields of Akyab.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="color: #454545;">5. The barren hill jungles
between the
river valleys are sparsely inhabited by small groups of Hillmen akin to
the
Chins further east. They are extremely timid and seldom approach the
villages
of the valleys. They tend to associate with the Arakanese, to whom they
are
closer by race, rather than with the Moslems.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #454545;">6. The
two communities lived intermingled under British rule for 116 years
without
much incident, though the latent hostility between them flared up into
occasional riots and murders. At the beginning of 1942, the British
administration collapsed, and the Japanese with the assistance of the
Arakanese occupied Akyab early in May. They did not move north of Akyab
until October 1942; and in the meantime, the area of mixed population
was
the scene of repeated large-scale massacres in which thousands of people
perished
or died subsequently of starvation and exposure. Eventually the two
communities
separated into distinct areas, the Arakanese in the south supporting the
Japanese and the Chittagongians in the north supporting the British. The
area
was a battleground for the next two years, and was thoroughly devastated
by
either side. Numbers of Moslems fled northward to their relatives or to
refugee
camps in Chittagong; but the fact is that at no time did the Japanese
succeed
in overrunning the entire area was in great measure due to the staunch
loyalty
to the Allies of the Moslems who remained.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="yiv2088333215msolistparagraph" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white; margin: 0in 0in 12pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #454545;"> 7. In 1945 the British advanced
and drove the
Japanese from Arakan. Contact was made with elements of the “Burmese
National
Army” in Arakan, who as elsewhere in Burma, came over to our side and
were
given arms.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="yiv2088333215msolistparagraph" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white; margin: 0in 0in 12pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #454545;">8. As elsewhere in Burma, the
young men who had
been in the “Resistance” were unwilling to return to their humdrum life
as
cultivators or clerks; the old Arakanese nationalism and impatience of
rule by
Burmese officials flared up, and the whole Division remained in a
disturbed
condition up to the time f the transfer of power (4<sup>th</sup><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>January 1948) since when, by all
accounts, the Government has controlled little outside the main towns.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="yiv2088333215msolistparagraph" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white; margin: 0in 0in 12pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #454545;">9. <b>The
Moslems in the north, finding themselves at the end of the war in an
undisputed
majority in the Maungdaw and Buthidaung Townships, at once turned their
thoughts towards secession from Burma and accession to India (or
Pakistan as
that part of India later became). Indeed, if these thoughts were not
already in
their minds, they were probably put there by a fanatically Moslem I.C.S.
officer who visited the area at the end of 1942, nominally to whip up
support
for the British-Indian war effort. Some of their leaders interviewed Mr.
Jinnah
in 1947, but received no encouragement of any irredentist Moslem
movement in
north Arakan.</b><o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="color: #454545;">10. It appears, however, that
the Burmese,
with little appreciation of the factors involved, made no attempt to
reassure
or placate the north Arakan Moslems. No doubt the congenital
incompetence of minor
Burmese officials made things worse. Eventually, in March or April 1948,
the
area appears to have got out of control altogether, and since then the
Burmese
garrisons have maintained themselves with difficulty in the midst of a
hostile
Moslem population. The leaders of the revolt called themselves “Mujahed”
which,
I believe, means a Moslem refugee from oppression, usually the
oppression of a
non-Moslem Government; their numbers have been put at 3,000 – 5,000 but
they
undoubtedly have the sympathy and probably active support nor only of
the
Moslem population of the area which I suppose must be 100,000 – 120,000
but
also of the Moslems across the frontier in the Chittagong district, with
whom
they are connected by the closest ties of race and religion – the
frontier is
in fact quite artificial at this point.</span></div>

A great deal has been made
in reports of
a Communist menace. Some of the Arakanese rebels further south are known
to be
under so-called Communist influence, though it is doubtful whether their
Communism is more than a mere label. It seems to me unlikely that the
“Mujahed” are Communists. They may have allied with Arakanese Communist
rebels
against the Burmese administration in the hope of establishing an
independent
state in Arakan after the over-throw of the Burmese Government’s
authority by
means of such an alliance; but alliance of this kind must have been
extremely
temporary and could not long withstand the deep racial and religious
jealousies
between them. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #454545;">12. It seems unlikely
that the Burmese Government will be able to restore order in Burma
proper in
the near future, let alone in Arakan. The people and the minor officials
in
Chittagong Division cannot be expected to watch unmoved the struggles of
their brothers
across the frontier against an alien and infidel administration, and
will no
doubt continue to support them. <b>If the
Pakistan (today Bangladesh) Government were driven by events to abandon
their
present correct attitude and to intervene they would I think find it
very hard
to stop short of Akyab, which is the only harbour in the area and the
natural
trade and communications centre; it controls the broad and fertile
Kaladan rice
plain, the source of most of the 300,000 tons of rice which used to be
exported
annually from North Arakan before the War.</b> But this of course is
mere

Since the
disturbances
reignited again in the troubled Arakan our overzealous Army has been
shooting
dead many Yakhine Buddhists, probably just too many, while protecting
the
Bengali Muslim minority from them. <o:p></o:p>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Sittwe Hospital is now filled
with many young Yakhine Buddhist men with gunshot wounds caused by
Burmese
guns, not Bengali guns, and it boils the red hot blood of our Buddhist
monks
all over Burma.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Buddhist monks in Burma
especially the young ones calling themselves “Yahan-Pyos” hate the
Bengali
Muslims and they think the job of Burma army is to shoot the Bengali
illegals
not the Yakhine Buddhist vigilantes killing the Muslims and burning the
Bengali
wards and villages in the Arakan.<br />

One cannot blame the Burmese
Buddhist monks as they know what would happen once the Bengali Islamists
took
over Burma, from their own experiences and the harrowing experiences of
fellow
Buddhists living dreadful lives in Islamic countries like Bangladesh and
India
and Pakistan. <o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Especially in Pakistan and Afghanistan
the Muslims had killed off all the Buddhists, and all their pagodas and
temples
razed to the ground. The Talibans in Pakistan even kill young girls
wanting to
go to school. In their Islamist eyes our Buddhist monks are pure evil
and our
Buddha statues are just evil icons.<o:p></o:p></div>

Yesterday Burmese Buddhist monks
staged a peaceful protest against Burma army killing Yakhine Buddhist
vigilantes
in current Arakan incidents. Hundreds and hundreds of Buddhist monks
gathered first
at Sule Pagoda in Rangoon at about one pm on October 25 and later moved
to the
Rangoon City Hall.<o:p></o:p></div>

Their
particular concern was the army’s shooting of Yakhine Buddhists in
current
Arakan incidents. Many monks said that they were heavily saddened by the
lives
lost of Yakhine Buddhist in the hands of Burma army and they wanted the
army to
immediately stop shooting the Yakhine Buddhists.<o:p></o:p></div>

The same thing happens in
Pakistan, Malaysia, and Indonesia. That typically Islamic approach to
Buddhist-cleansing is called “Letting the Extremist the Free Run in
removing
Infidels,” but our Burmese government has a very different approach. <o:p></o:p></div>

Our beloved president will
rather order the army to shoot the Buddhist crowd to protect the Bengali
Muslims who are more than willing to kill the Buddhists including the
old monks
as they had displayed with ample evidence in last June Bengali riots at
Maungdaw-Butheedaung region, their stronghold of Northern Arakan which
they
brutally captured in 1942 after killing all 100,000 odds Yahine Buddhist
in an
Islamic genocide while the whole Burma was in turmoil during the Second
World
War.<o:p></o:p></div>

Our president and his
advisors seem to worry more about Burma’s image abroad than the survival
of
their people on the western fringe of Burma or the western gateway into
Burma. They
are probably forgetting the population explosion in Bangladesh and there
are
more than 160 million people who have been eagerly eyeing our
deliciously rich
and bountiful country, Burma. <o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Please do not forget the
most important fact that our brothers Yakhines are guarding that western
gateway with their lives so that we have our Buddhist way of life still
thriving in the Burma proper. If they fall we are gonna fall too.<o:p></o:p></div>

According
to Deputy Mayor Hajjah Illiza Sa'aduddin Djamal, the buildings were
illegal
because they lacked the right permit. Under the law, private homes
cannot be

"Aceh is a special territory
that enforces Sharia," she said and home churches violate the law
because
they lack the appropriate building permit (<i>Izin Mendirikan Bangunan </i>in
Indonesian).<br /><a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3134666303268880931" name="more"></a></span><span style="font-size: small;"><o:p></o:p></span>

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">
The issue is more complicated in
the case of Christian places of worship because the latter require the
agreement of a certain number of local residents and that of the local
interfaith dialogue group. Under the pressure of radical Muslim groups,
permits
are often denied.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">
Deputy Mayor Djamal also wants the
authorities to monitor the activities of Buddhist and Christian
communities to
ensure that their services are performed in the right places. This is
necessary, in her view, to "maintain interfaith harmony." At the same
time, "we shall not issue any new permit for other churches or vihara
(Buddhist temples)."</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Local Muslim
extremists welcomed
the decision. Yusuf Al-Qardhawy, head of the Aceh branch of the Islamic
Defence
Front (FPI), called on other jurisdictions to follow Banda Aceh, enforce
Islamic law and stop any non-Muslim worship activity that is not
approved.<o:p></o:p></span>

<span style="font-size: small;">
He said the situation would be
monitored constantly to ensure that rules are respected. Local sources
note
that the municipal order shutting Buddhist and Christian places of
worship
follows a complaint filed by Islamists concerning an "improper" use
of buildings.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">
The province of Aceh, the
westernmost of the archipelago of Indonesia, is also the only one which
is
subject to Sharia. Compliance is ensured by the 'morality police,' a
special
force that punishes violations in dress and behaviour.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

In the past, a relative calm and
religious harmony between the Muslim majority and "foreigners,"
members of various non-Islamic faiths, prevailed under the leadership of
former
guerrilla leader, now Governor Irwandy Yusuf.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">More recently
the situation has
changed however. Attacks against religious minorities have started and

<span style="font-size: small;">
In last April's elections, Zaini
Abdullah, a former guerrilla leader who lived in exile in Sweden, won
promising
to<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>fight corruption and
impose Islamic law. The strict application of Sharia
was one of the conditions separatist rebels imposed on Jakarta to end
their
armed struggle.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">
As a
result of a recent spike in sectarian tensions, the area saw<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><b><span style="font-weight: normal;">violence and attacks against Christian communities</span></b>,
which led to the<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>closure of
places of worship<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>on the
order of the authorities claiming that they lacked
proper building permits.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">(It is a clever and legal way to get rid of infidels the Buddhists
and Christians from the Islamic Republic of Indonesia instead of burning
down their temples and churches and killing them like what has been
happening in Bangladesh and Pakistan.<br /><br />Probably the Muslim Indonesians have learned from the Christians
Aussies in Australia where the development applications for the mosques
and the madrassas are being rejected outright by using overtight
building codes and strict zoning laws while the home-mosques are being
zealously shut down by using the same codes and laws.<br /><br />My fellow Burmese Buddhists, please take note, that's the civilized
way to do it if you want to stop rapid Islamization of Burma by the OIC
and ilegal Bengali Muslims. Use the Municipal by-laws to shut the
mosques mushrooming all over Burma like what Indonesian Muslims are
doing to shut down the Buddhist temples. Stop burning mosques and
killing the Bengali Muslims!)</span></div>

Despite
what officials state, the Islamists of Bangladesh have been violently urging
all non-Muslims to get out of the country. Buddhists, for example, mostly
settled in the southeast part of Bangladesh and less than 1% of the population
of 150 million, have been struggling to survive. More than 1,000 have fled; the
situation is no different for Christians and Hindus.</div>

<b>What is clear is that Rabita Al Alam al
Islami, known as Al-Rabita, a powerful Saudi Arabia-based non-governmenal
organization [NGO] has taken charge of Islamization, especially in the remote
areas. Since 1980, Al-Rabita has been working throughout southeast Bangladesh
to convert the hill people to Islam. There is serious concern that Al-Rabita
has been funding terrorists.</b></div>

Throughout
the area, construction of mosques and madrassas [Islamic religious schools]
continues. There are now 800 mosques and nearly 300 madrassas built by
Al-Rabita. Al-Rabita also has an Islamic Missionary Center with the goal of
converting poor tribal people. This Saudi NGO has been spending millions of
dollar to promote Shariah law and violent Islamism in the country.</div>

And
because Saudi Arabia is one of the top foreign aid donors to Bangladesh -- the
government of Bangladesh has taken no action against this NGO. Saudi Arabia has
also threatened that if it is discontented, it will send back to Bangladesh the

<div class="MsoNormal">
The hell hog is at large, this time positioning for $$s, clients and patrons for power<br /> <br />
In the midst of Buddhist monks and men and women of different race,
religions and socioeconomic ranks peacefully protesting in Mandalay; we
hear some noises not from hell hounds but a hell<br /> hog hunger for $$ and power [1].<br /> <br />
To give some readers a quick background, there are looming threats for
Burma from the western borders of the Burmese nation (Myanmar) posed by
yesterday illegal immigrants, today infiltrators and tomorrow invaders
who nowadays are trying to steal Northern Arakan, Burmese soil for their
co-ethnic and coreligionist brothers across the border. It can only
happen over the dead bodies of Burmese patriots but bad news for those
invaders is that we Burmese are survivors and we will not give up<br /> without a fight. One of the patriots are Venerable <strong>Wira Thu</strong>, the head monk from <strong>Ma Soe Yein</strong>, Burmese version of Westminster Church.<br /> <br />
As a Burmese, I do not see any problem for monks going around Mandalay
chanting and showing their concern and love for citizens. In my opinion,
protesters are expressing rightful concerns about the future of Burmese
state and fates of Burmese. In fact, for Buddhist monks, they can be
indifferent as their occupational demand of monkshood, similar to
Catholic priesthood, will leave no offspring behind. But for they are
patriots, for they are showing their love for us, their care for us,
Burmese and ethnic and religious minorities who live in this country.<br /> <br />
For our children to live, for them to study, work and live peacefully,
to rise their families, to enjoy the security, Burmese have no choice
but to screen and select who are real Burmese citizens and who are
illegals from Bangladesh – a sinking country that is one third of the
size of Burma for its population three or four times of Burma.<br /> </div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Burmese citizens, like people everywhere, have
rights to accept and reject who are citizens and who are not. Our
positions have been very clear, Burmese government has agreed and
honored their agreement that refugees who can prove their citizenships
will be accepted back into Burma. However, it is not<br /> impossible for a
poor country like Burma to bear the burden of Bangladeshi population
crisis. Therefore while Burma has every rights to protect own citizens,
protect the sovereign, what the monks have been doing these days not
only proves that Burma is reforming, citizens are practicing their
democratic rights expressing their citizenship rights. It provides the
much needed legitimacy for the government led reforms happening in
Burmese nation.<br /> <br /> However, we are seeing a hell hog (male pig) at large (escaping and messing around or trying to mess around.) It is <strong>Maung Zarni</strong>,
who cannot differentiate state sponsored fascism vs. the lawful and
righteous expression of concerns via peaceful protests. Should we remind
him that democratic rights are for citizens? We will protect the well
being of those guests, Rohingyas (if they like to call themselves) but
it does not mean we have to grant them citizenship free for everyone.<br /> <br />
There is only one conclusion inevitably can be reached; we can only
speculate that he is merely trying to exploit Burmese crisis. By
painting this peaceful protest into something politically incorrect,
labeling the protests as fascist and racist, he is trying to get the
attention of his possible patrons (Rohingyas, INGOs who needs new fresh
project ideas to waste the money of tax payers in United States, United
Kingdom and western world). Perhaps he is also angling to catch some
fish, his future clients such as naive and gullible activists who will
support the cause of so called Rohigyas who are mainly Bengali descent.
Reading between the lines, whatever he wrote can be summed up as
follows:<br /> <br /> "Hey guys and girls, Daw Su is bad, she is not on the side of very poor Rohingyas<br />
- I know they kill local Arakan natives, I know they are from
Bangladesh, I know the same Bangladeshi illegal immigrants are killing
native Bodos in Assam, India,I know they are funded by Wahabis (in fact
that made me dripping with sliver for those juicy $$$), I know they
fabricated history, I know they are good at acting victims while they
are vicious villains, I know monks are peacefully protesting, but who
cares as long as I can get some grants $$$$$ - so the real progressive
is here Mr. Napoléon, comrade pig as in the George Orwell's "Animal
firm". Shower me with dollars, promote me as your bastard in Burma,
grant me $$ projects such as educating and enlightening barbarian
Burmese with progressive liberal values".<br /> <br /> We Burmese, can
recognize how it will end, he may get some grants he raved, he may
manage to impress right people, he may win the heart of his Rohingyas,
may secure the job at the University of Brunei, but we WTN editors can
read between and lines and interpret accordingly and in this essay we
have expressed our view and we summarized his work in one sentence
below:<br /> <br /><strong> "The hell hog is at large, now positioning itself for $$s, clients, patrons & power!"</strong><br /> <br /> Yours Truly<br /> <br /> Dr. Dote Kyee<br /> <br /> References:<br /> <br /> [1] <a href="http://www.dvb.no/analysis/popular-buddhist-racism-and-the-generals%E2%80%99-militarism/23595" target="_blank">http://www.dvb.no/analysis/popular-buddhist-racism-and-the-generals%E2%80%99-militarism/23595</a></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua','serif';">The
main cause of all that led to those clashes was the permission of
British colonial governors who let Chittagong Bengalis enter into
Rakhine State with no investigation, because of promoting agronomics.
The conditions were clearly recorded in the post-clashes investigation
commission report then. By the time British departure, and Japanese
incursion, the local Rakhine residents had to flee in township scale
under the anarchic conditions. There were causalities and death in most
of the 140 villages under the British reign. Akyab District Gazetteer
Vol.b was ruled by a peace committee formed with Bengalis. The peace
committee is said to manipulate a portion of sovereignty without any
concern. In legal term, it was defiance to sovereignty. The peace
committee then turned into a Mujahidin insurgence organization. They organized as a peace committee on their own without recognizing another one formed by Burma Independent Army (BIA). On 8<sup>th</sup>
June, 1942, about 30 soldiers under the command of Lieutenant Yan
Aung's Rakhine State operation of BIA were assassinated by the
Bengali-formed peace committee during the process of peace talks. The
assassination took place near Maungdaw Kanyindan (now a mosque near the
state high school campus) according to "Life in the
Commune"(bone-bawa-hmar-phyint) by Thakhin Tin Mya.</span></div>

Maungdaw and Buthitaung Townships will full population of Muslims, and
to inaugurate a Muslim State. That was a ruthless conspiracy to force

a separate Muslim country i.e. Pakistan. The movement to build a
separate Muslim country had impacts on Maungdaw and Butheetaung
townships. The condition of high share of Muslims in those two

condition. Muslim elites from Maungdaw performed for that cause
secretly. Since Rakhine leaders detected the condition, it was reported
to General Aung San. At that time, General Aung San is preparing to
visit London, concerning independence of Myanmar, along with the
invitation of British Prime Minister Atlee. U Kyaw Hla Oo, a president
of AFPLO (Minpya Township), recorded, "A group of Muslims in Maungdaw
have close relation with those in Bangladesh. The plan to combine
Maungdaw and Butheetaung townships to forthcoming independence of
Pakistan was informed to General Aung San. In his way to London, General
Aung San went to see Mr. Jinnah in Karachi, and discussed the case. Mr
Jinnah made a response announcing that Pakistan will never try to hold
any part of Myanmar, and will be a good neighbor to Myanmar". (Arakan:

approached to the local authorities to lobby or to achieve their goal in

<span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua','serif';">We all the communal people of diverse ethnic groups including <span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow;">Mro, Thet, Khami, Dinenet,</span>
Rakhine, and Myanmar in Maungdaw, Butheedaung and Yathaedaund townships
were living our lives peacefully in the rules of changing Myanmar
governments up to present, but we obey laws and orders dictated for the
sake of our security entrusting to eternity. Under the rules of
different governments, we experienced difficulties, and will have to. On
northwestern borderline region, the majority in population of
Chittagong-origin Bengali Muslims took upper hand on us by bullying,
robbery, thefts, rape to our ladies, and murders similarly as slaughters
by means of inhumanly slicing the body organs, just like those under
the spell of a curse. (See more in Appendix.<a href="http://www.wontharnu.com/index.php/news/196-report-submitted-to-the-president-of-the-republic-of-union-of-myanmar-by-maungdaw-township-communal-leaders#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3" title=""></a><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua','serif'; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;">[3]</span></span></span>)
It means that we, the communal people are surviving not only on a range
of physical threats and insecurity, but also the trauma or
psychological anxiety and fears. Living on our motherland as scapegoats,
we long suffered the pressure exerted by intruders who are drugging us
down to hell. However, we hold the view of 'we will better survive until
a noble death'; gripping 'two noble things of nationality and
morality', and will remain steadfast with no complaint to the spirit of
unionism, taking the oath of no surrender to them. We vow to sacrifice
ourselves as a human-shield for the sake our union. We are ready to
protect our nationality, religion and union with spiritual strength.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 6pt; text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua','serif';">(5)

<span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua','serif';">(13)
To exercise close supervision on INGO's including UNHCR branch office
with programs and projects favoring Muslims, opened in Butheedaung and
Maungdaw townships. (Firstly, it is because Peter Nicolaus, a Senior
Repatriation Officer in UNHCR, increased the tension of Muslim Problem
in Myanmar by writing a paper, titled unknown. Secondly, certain Muslim
leaders in Butheedaung and Maungdaw townships used devices of
telecommunication from UNHCR branch office and certain INGO's and they
communicate each other and to launch false information on international
media.)</span></div>

areas of our country, and to take serious action on the government
officials who corrupted to let them do. (This must not contradict to

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 6pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua','serif';">Account: The two female, cloth vendors turned back home from their business around 4:30 PM on 8<sup>th</sup>
July, 1995. They were trapped by a group of Muslims, who brought
swords, knives, and wands at Yeewinpyin village ferry gate. They were
brought to a ravine, robbed their belongings, money, earrings, and
raped. Victim#1 was a single, supporting her old aged parents. Victim#2
was a widow with four children, struggling to earn bread for family.
What happened was reported by the ferry rower to Pyuuma village, and the
villagers followed at 5:30PM. Victim#1's corpse was found blood-soaked,
and cloths stripped. Victim#2 was weeping around, with cloths stripped
too. A few villagers from Pyuuma went to Borderline Immigration
Monitoring Unit (Zeepinchaung Outpost) which located two and a half
miles far. The officers from the unit followed to the place, and
recommended to open case in Kyeinchaung Police Station. They were sent
to Kyeinchaung General Hospital, where victim#2's injuries and cuts were
healed, and rape and murder cases were opened at Kyeinchaung Police
Station six miles far. The suspects were arrested and investigated in
Kyeinchaung Police Station, and transferred to Maungdaw Police Station.
Borderline Immigration Monitoring Unit took actively part in the
investigation. But the suspects answered the criminals were fled into
Bangladesh, and the case was closed. Pyuuma Rakhine village once had
over 40 households. However because of the farming animal thefts by
Muslims, Rakhine communal people faced difficulties in farming. After
1942, there was a couple of significant robberies; one is in 2005, and
another in 2008. Because of those criminal cases, the villages
internally migrated to Maungdaw, and now there are only about ten
household in Pyuuma village.</span></div>

I am
disturbed to see that there is so much deception, fraud, and
manipulation of the media about the situation in Rakhine State, Myanmar(Burma).
So many people - even those who seem to know a lot about Myanmar(Burma) - don’t
know the history, and the truth and reality of the Buddhist Rakhine
people. I am writing this to explain the real reasons, and the truth
about what is happening in Rakhine State, in the western part of Myanmar(Burma). This is based on the history of the region, and upon real
experience in Rakhine State.I was last there about 8 months ago -
November, 2011.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<strong>THE BASIC TRUTH</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
The basic truth (explained below with real history
and facts) is that the Buddhist Rakhine people are under a real and
brutal campaign to seize their centuries old cultural homeland and turn
it into an Islamic State, without other people or religions tolerated.
This has already happened in parts of Rakhine State near the Bangladesh
border in the area of Maungdaw and Buthidaung. The Rakhine have never
taken over or invaded other lands - they have lived in their ancient
homeland continuously. The Buddhist Rakhine people have suffered massive
slaughters, and been forced and burned out of hundreds of towns and
villages in the last 100 years. They know - from bitter experience that
the Muslims have <strong>NO</strong> respect for the Buddhist
people and culture, and will destroy any Buddhist temples, monasteries,
and holy places - as has happened already in parts of Rakhine. Below, I
will explain why even Bangladesh hates the Rohingya, and will not help
them, or let them live in Bangladesh.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
The Rakhine people are in engaged in a struggle that is similar to other struggles in the area:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<strong>Southern Thailand</strong>: about 5000 Thai
Buddhist - including Buddhist monks tortured and beheaded - killed in
recent years by fanatic Muslims trying to drive out and eliminate the
Buddhist population, and turn southern Thailand into an independent
Islamic state.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<strong>Southern Philippines</strong>: constant
kidnappings, beheadings, and killing of Christian Filipino's, goal to
make an independent Islam-only separate country.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<strong>Non-Muslim parts of Indonesia: </strong>hundreds
of Christian churches burned and destroyed, Christian school girls
beheaded walking to school; currently imams and leaders are calling for
Indonesians to go wage holy war on the Myanmar.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<strong>Bangladesh: </strong>fifty years ago it was
about 28% Hindu, after forcing millions of Hindus to flee the Hindu
population is less than 9%, and still becoming smaller. The small
Buddhist population is treated terribly, and Buddhist temples and
monasteries and homes are looted and burned. All the ancient temples,
stupas, and ruins from nearly 2000 years of Buddhist kingdoms have been
completely destroyed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<strong>THE HISTORY</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
The Rakhine area has a history of kings and
kingdoms dating back over 2000 years. It has had a deeply Buddhist
tradition from the early centuries AD. The second largest ruined city
and temple site in Burma - Mrauk U - is in Rakhine State, and is the
spiritual center of the Rakhine identity.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Now I'll skip up to the British days, and how the British, unknowingly, helped create the present problems.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
The British, in Myanmar, Malaysia, Singapore, and
other places, brought in Indian and/or Chinese men to be the plantation
or other business managers. The British brought many Muslim Indians from
Bengal to Rakhine because Bengal was close and convenient. These
managers - instead of hiring local Rakhine people to work - sent for
thousands of their fellow Muslim Bengalis to come and work. Most of
these Bengalis were influenced by the Islamic Faraidi movement in Bengal
at that time (late 1800s) which was based on the ideology of the
Wahhabis of Arabia (this is before the Saudi tribe took over and named
Arabia after themselves). The Bengalis were instructed to build their
own - Muslim only - villages near the water resources (so that they
could later control the water, and deny it to the Buddhist). And, they
were told to prepare to wage a holy war (jihad) when their leaders felt
they were ready and strong enough.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
In the Maungdaw Township alone, around 1910, only
15 Muslim managers brought in thousands of Bengali workers - starting a
huge population shift - and began the campaign against the Buddhist.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
In 1939 The British established a Commission of
Inquiry to investigate the rapid increase of Bengali Muslims in Arakan
from roughly 30,000 in 1825 to 220,000 in 1930. That Commission
concluded that there would be violence in the very near future if the
relentless Bengali Muslim movement across the border wasn't stopped or
at least restricted.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
And the Commission was right.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<strong>WORLD WAR II DAYS</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
In early 1942, as the Japanese were advancing
towards Arakan, the British formed a battalion of Muslims - called the
Bengali V Force - and gave them weapons. The British knew them as better
fighters then the Rakhine. As the British suddenly retreated - the
Bengali Muslims quickly used the weapons - not against the Japanese -
but they used them to slaughter thousands and thousands of Buddhist and
burned down all of the Buddhist villages, pagodas, temples and
monasteries in the Maungdaw and Buthidaung areas. About 30,000 Rakhine
Buddhist were killed in this absolute genocide, and tens of thousands
were ethnically cleansed from their ancestral lands. By late 1942 the
whole Maungdaw-Buthidaung region was firmly in the hands of Bengali
Muslims - who were now well armed with abandoned Japanese and British
weapons.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Since they controlled the border now, the movement
of Muslims immigrants greatly increased - and this area, which had been
almost entirely Buddhist for centuries was violently emptied of Buddhist
in a very short time, and became nearly entirely Muslim - and with
plans to take more land, and to make it entirely Muslim.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
This is quoted from a British officer, at that time
in 1942, who wrote a report: "I have been told the harrowing tales of
cruelly and suffering inflicted on the Arakanese (Buddhist) villages in
the Ratheedaung area. Most of the villages on the west bank of the Mayu
river have been burnt and destroyed by the (Bengali-Muslim) V Force. The
enemy (Japanese) never came near to these villages. Hundreds of
villagers are said to be hiding in the hills. It will be the Arakanese
who will be ousted from their ancestral land and if they cannot win over
(the Muslims) in time, then there can be no hope of their salvation."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
After the Japanese were driven out, Bo Yan Aung,
one of the 'Thirty Comrades' was sent to Arakan to set up the
administration in Sittwe district, and to stop the violence. He sent his
two lieutenants, Bo Yan Naung and Bo Myo Nyunt to Maungdaw to negotiate
with the radical Muslim leaders. Instead of talking to them the Muslim
leaders killed both of them.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
They wanted this land to be their own and they
wanted to create a Dah-rul-Islam - an Islamic kingdom that will join
with others, as Muslims eliminated the non-Muslims everywhere - and
eventually create a world of pure Islam.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Now the Buddhist really saw what was happening -
that they were going to lose their lives, their culture, their ancestral
homeland, and their history if this kept going.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<strong>THE KORAN JUSTIFIES TAKING LAND FROM INFIDELS (NON-MUSLIMS)</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Qur’an 33.27 And He made you heirs to their land
and their dwellings and their property, and (to) a land which you have
not yet trodden, and Allah has power over all things. Qur’an 21:44 Do
they see Us advancing, gradually reducing the land (in their control),
curtailing its borders on all sides? It is they who will be overcome.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
As World War II ended, the British took control
again, but the Muslims would not accept the Buddhist to come back to and
live in their native villages (that they were forced out of). They now
believed that they had their own area now that was to be a strict Muslim
land ruled by Sharia Law, and they would not accept being in a country
ruled by infidel British or infidel Burmese (infidel means non-believer,
or non-Muslim). Instead they planned to join the soon-to-be Islamic
country of Pakistan. As the British were preparing to give independence
to Burma, the Muslim leadership -represented by the Jami-atul Ulema-e
Islam party - made connections with the Muslim leaders of soon-to be
Pakistan and formed an insurgency army - which would invade Arakan and
attach it to East Pakistan (now known as Bangladesh). In 1946 they
formed the Muslim Liberation Organization (MLO) and started their war.
In 1948 they changed the name of the party to Mujahid Party and the
insurgency then became known as the Mujahidin Insurgency. (Mujahadin
means: Muslim fighters engaged in a Jihad). (Jihad means: holy war in
the name of Islam).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
In August of 1947 the Commissioner of Arakan wrote a
report after an official was brutally murdered by Muslims in Maungdaw.
He wrote: "The assassins were suspected to be employed by the Muslim
Police Officer, and have been organizing strong Muslim feelings and
dominating the whole area. This is a direct affront and open challenge
to the lawful authority of the Burma Government, by the Muslim community
of Buthidaung and Maungdaw Townships……Unless this most dastardly
flouting of the government is firmly and severely dealt with, this alien
community will try to annex this territory, or instigate Pakistan to
annex it."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<strong>AFTER BURMA GAINED INDEPENDENCE</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
On January 4, 1948, Burma became independent. This
meant nothing to the Muslims - they had other plans. On June 9, 1948 the
Mujahid Party sent a letter to the new government of The Union of
Burma. It was a list of demands, including:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
1. The areas between the Kaladan and Naaf rivers
must be recognized as the National Home of the Muslims of Burma (and
this is the land they had ethnically cleansed of Buddhist in the last 6
years!)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
2. The Mujahid Party must be granted legal status
as a political organization in the new government of Burma (and this
party preaches holy war against the Buddhist who have lived there for
centuries!)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
3. The Mujahidin fighters who had been captured and
jailed (for slaughtering Buddhist, and burning and destroying villages,
temples and monasteries) must be unconditionally released. and those
were just three of the demands…..</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
The new central government, still trying to recover
from the assassination of Bogyoke Aung San, refused these outrageous
demands, and quickly the Muslims in northern Arakan declared jihad (holy
war) on Burma.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
The Mujahadin launched a vicious campaign and
destroyed all the Buddhist villages in northern Maungdaw Township (the
southern parts had been destroyed 6 years earlier). On July 19, 1948
they attacked Ngapruchaung, and villages around it, and used a new
tactic - kidnapping Buddhist monks, and holding them as hostages, and
killing them if they didn't get the money or conditions that they
demanded.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<strong>U NU MISTAKINGLY FUELS THE PROBLEM</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
During the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, most of Burma
was tangled in rebellions, communist insurgencies, and much strife and
confusion. The new government (after Bogyoke Aung San's assassination in
1947, and up to the coup and takeover by Ne Win in 1962) of the 'Union
of Burma was barely in control and was in danger of collapsing entirely.
The leader - U Nu - at a critical time, was in danger of the parliament
issuing a 'vote of no-confidence' and stripping him of power. To
survive, he needed all the help he could get. He could not count on
support from the Rakhine parliamentarians, because the Rakhine supported
the opposition against U Nu. There were some Muslims in the parliament,
and U Nu was willing to promise them anything if he could get their
much needed votes of confidence. In June 1958, U Nu's faction of the
government, survived the very close vote, because he got the Muslim and
Mon (and some others) to vote for him - because he promised to create
states for the Mon people (on the east side of Burma) and for the
Muslims (on the west side of Burma), and to grant citizenship to the
'Bengali Muslims' in Burma. (The word 'Rohingya' was still not widely
known or used).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
On July 31, 1958, U Nu offered an amnesty to all
Mujahid insurgents who would surrender. Some Mujahid surrendered. They
and other Bengali settlers asked for citizenship, but other events were
quickly beginning to unfold. In September, 1958, high ranking officers
of the Burma Army went to U Nu's residence and gave him an ultimatum -
give up his power and accept the transfer of power to the military or
there will be a military coup against him (which could imprison or kill
him), and in fact these officers already had their troops take the
airport and townships less than 10 miles away.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
U Nu had no choice - he was out of power, and his
promises of statehood and citizenship were out (and realize that these
promises were calculated and made in desperation in order to stay in
power). A military care-taker government, led by General Ne Win took
over and promised elections in two years, and in 1960 held the promised
elections - which actually voted U Nu back into power! He had to give
those who helped him quick thanks, and he forced the reluctant
Voice-of-Burma radio to broadcast a regular program in Bengali language
to partly satisfy the Muslim Parliamentarian members who helped him.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
They wanted more. Thousands and thousands of
illegal Bengali Muslims demanded and received Burmese Identity Cards.
And he established the Maungdaw Special-Border-District which would be
controlled by the Muslims - which meant that the Muslims would now
control the border! It's like the fox being told to guard the chickens!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Now the Bengali Muslim leaders tried to have their
people defined as an 'indigenous ethnic group of Burma' like Kachin,
Mon, Pa-O, Chin, Palaung, etc., and therefore be eligible for
citizenship. Now, instead of using the terms Bengali-Muslim or
Chittagong-Muslim (which indicate that they came from outside Burma)
they generally used the term 'Arakan Muslims' to deceive people, and
convince the world that they, also, are part of the Arakan identity.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
The obvious problem was that all the other
ethnicities had deep roots and long history in their homelands, but the
'Arakan Muslims' did not, and were the only ones who came in huge waves
of immigrants, fought with and took land and property from the real
indigenous people, and had an agenda to have only their own fellow
Muslim people in a purely Islamic State that would not be a part of the
infidel union of Burma. Their demands for recognition as an 'indigenous
ethnic group' was turned down, on the grounds that they were never part
of the indigenous people of Arakan, and that they were quite simply -
recent, or recent enough (a generation or two) immigrants settling on
land they had never been part of. The term 'Arakan Muslim' failed it's
sly purpose, and now the term 'Royingya' started to be used.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
U Nu was, once again, tangled in power struggles, and in the promises he made but couldn't or wouldn't fulfill.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
On March 2, 1962, General Ne Win used this
situation as reason to stage a military coup and seized power. The
constitution was suspended, the Voice-of- Burma radio program in Bengali
language (and in Mon language) were quickly stopped, and U Nu was
imprisoned.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
And, the name 'Rohingya' disappeared for 10 years.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<strong>THE INVENTION OF THE 'ROHINGYA' and THE MANIPULATION OF HISTORY AND FACTS</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
During the 1950's, the term 'Rohingya' was
invented, and it started to spread around, slowly becoming a replacement
word for Bengali-Muslim, or Chittagong-Muslim, but only much later it
became the common name.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
In 1960 the Mujahid insurgency was finally defeated
by General Ne Win. Then the Muslim leadership realized that they needed
a new story about the Muslims in Arakan - and they embraced a new
identity - and they now called themselves 'Rohingya'.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
This new word helped to make it much easier to
manipulate media and opinion. The terms Bengali-Muslim and
Chittagong-Muslim obviously indicate that they came from outside Burma,
and that they had roots in, Bengal or Chittagong.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
The term Rohingya carries no similar meaning,
making it much easier to spread the 'new history' which now says that
the Rohingya actually have been inhabitants of this land for a long
time.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<strong>WHY BANGLADESH HATES THE ROHINGYA, AND WILL NOT HELP THEM</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
When India was granted independence in 1948, the
two Muslim areas - on the west side and the east side of India- but not
joined - were made into the Islamic country of Pakistan. (The Muslims
demanded their own country).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Later, tensions and issues between them blew up
into a bloody war and the eastern part fought to become independent from
the dominant western part.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
In late 1971 the eastern part became the new country of Bangladesh.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
The Muslims in Arakan actually - and strangely -
supported the far western part (Pakistan), and not the neighboring
Bangladesh part, perhaps because they favored the more extreme Islam of
Pakistan.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
After Bangladesh became independent the
Bangladeshis were furious at the Chittagong or Bengali-Muslims living in
Burma, and disowned them, and treated them as traitors, and even still,
now, Bangladesh will not forgive or forget that, and will not accept
them. They ARE the same people - Bengali or Chittagong-Muslims - from
the same area, and speak the same language.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
There is no tribal or ethnic difference. But if
your parents or grandparents supported Pakistan at that time you are not
accepted. Many Rohingya manage to sneak into Bangladesh, and are in
terrible refugee camps, where recently, Bangladesh has banned foreign
aid organizations from helping the refugees!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
So, the Muslims of Arakan needed an identity of their own - and a new word - the 'Rohingya' was invented.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<strong>And, a bit about Bangladesh, and Pakistan… and India -</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Bangladesh and Pakistan are examples of what the
Rakhine Buddhist do not want to see. In East Pakistan (now Bangladesh),
in 1948, the population included 28% Hindu people. Now it is 9%. Why?
Because the Hindus have been slaughtered many times, and threatened and
pressured to leave.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
In Pakistan, in 1948, there were about 20% Hindu,
Buddhist, and Sikh. Now they total about only 1%. India has actually
built a 1790 mile long fortified steel and barbed wire fence along it's
long border with Bangladesh - for the purpose of keeping out Islamic
terrorist, migrant workers taking Indian jobs, and uncontrollable waves
of Royingya or other Muslims.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
India also has a similar 1000 mile long fence on
its border with Pakistan - primarily to keep Muslim terrorist out. Burma
has no such border fence on any of its borders.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<strong>DURING GENERAL NE WIN'S DICTATORSHIP</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
The word 'Rohingya’ disappeared when General Ne Win
seized power in a coup in 1962, then reappeared in 1972, disappeared
again after Muslim demands for an autonomous Islamic State were turned
down (again), reappeared briefly in 1978 after a major offensive by the
Burmese Army against another Mujahid insurgency (and in 'Ne Win style'
it was bloody and severe, with many civilian casualties), and, again, it
reappeared in 1991, after a second major offensive by the Burmese Army.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
On May 13, 1988, the anniversary of the 1942
Bengali V-Force massacre of 30,000 native Rakhine Buddhist, the Rohingya
Liberation Organization (RLO) led 50,000 Bengali-Muslims to try to
quickly and violently take over the Maungdaw Township. They first
destroyed a big Buddhist Monastery and then began to burn all the wards
where Rakhine Buddhist lived, and attempted to kill ALL Rakhine people
in this area. But, their genocidal plan was stopped by the local army
reinforced police force, and ever since then some Burmese Army units
have been permanently stationed there to prevent another genocidal
attack by the Bengali-Muslims.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Disturbing to many is the fact that for several
years leading up to this, Ahmed Shah, the Chairman of the RLO
distributed copies of his cassette tape - for free - urging the Rohingya
in Maungdaw township to drive all non-Muslims out of the district,
basically calling for the genocide of Rakhine Buddhist, and any other
non-Muslims in that area.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
The RLO also made and distributed tens of thousands
of leaflets - with photos of pretty Rakhine girls - to entice the
Bengali-Muslims in Bangladesh to come to Burma, where there was plenty
of food, and every Rohingya man should try to marry four Rakhine
Buddhist Women and convert them into Islam, and help the bigger plan of
making this land an Islamic State for Muslims only.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<strong>AL QAEDA AND TALIBAN TRAINING, EXPLOSIVES AND HEAVY WEAPONS COURSES IN AFGHANISTAN AND LIBYA</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
There have been numerous Rohingya captured in
Afghanistan in battle, or at terrorist training camps. Intelligence
services of several countries have reported such items as: 90 members of
the Arakan Rohingya National Organization (ARNO) were selected to
attend a guerrilla warfare course, explosives course, and heavy-weapons
courses held in Libya and Afghanistan in August 2001. 5 members of ARNO
attended a high-ranking officers' course with Al Qaeda representatives
in May 2000. They discussed military affairs, weaponry, and getting
financial help from Osama bin Laden. Numerous contacts and connections
and assistance from Islamic jihad groups in southern Thailand, southern
Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, Bangladesh and others.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
By now, anybody who has investigated the 'stories'
and 'photos' of recent atrocities against the Rohingya has seen and
heard terrible things - BUT – most people, now, are seeing that it is
all a game of deception, lies, and agenda. The photos, that supposedly
show dead bodies of Rohingya are actually photos taken in Indonesia
after the huge earthquake-caused tsunami, and even more sickening than
that - there are gruesome photos of piles of bodies said to be Rohingya,
BUT ACTUALLY they are CHRISTIAN Nigerians who were killed and burned
recently by Nigerian MUSLIMS! Do your own google searches and you will
see the wicked deception being used, around the world, and in many
languages? (search with the words: Burma, jihad, Myanmar, genocide,
Rohingya, fake photos, media manipulation, etc.).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<strong>WHY THE 'ROHINGYA' SHOULD NOT BE GIVEN CITIZENSHIP IN BURMA</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
The Rohingya, as a collective entity, want
citizenship, but DO NOT want to live in the country of Burma/Myanmar
which is governed and dominated by infidels.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
They have no deep history, or cultural artifacts in
Arakan - different then the many other ethnicities who DO have deep
roots, culture and tradition in their homeland, and importantly, unlike
the Rohingya, the other ethnicities do not have the goal of ethnic
purity and fanaticism to fight holy war for their goals.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
The Rohingya want citizenship, but NOT so they can
happily live with other religions and ethnicities around them, and NOT
so they can enjoy and participate in the other people’s festivals and
traditions. They want citizenship so that they can then DEMAND their own
Muslim State (which will quickly push out or kill the remaining
infidels) and then DECLARE independence from infidel Burma. In other
words, they see citizenship as a way, eventually, to NOT be a Burmese
citizen.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<strong>Giving them citizenship would lead to a
much greater disaster and much more killing, as they believe it is the
duty of Muslims to purify their land by driving the infidels out, and
destroying the remnants of the infidel history. And, the Muslims would
cause the destruction of a recognized and historical Buddhist people and
culture, and world class historical sites, such as Mrauk U.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
They were born into a way of life which makes them
inflexible and intolerant of other people and other faiths. Their faith,
which cannot be questioned or criticized, allows them to do nearly
anything to any non-believer, including killing them, and raping the
women. Rape of Buddhist women is very high in Rakhine State because of
this attitude towards infidel women and these ‘holy verses’ of Allah’s
words. Qur’an 4.24 "All married women are prohibited to you, except
those whom your right hand possesses (a way to say 'Captured') as the
prisoners of war, who Allah has assigned to you.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
They learn that a person who leaves Islam should be killed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Al-Azhar (Cairo) Islamic Research Academy endorsed
manual of Islamic Law, Umdat al-Salik (pp. 595-96) states: "Leaving
Islam is the ugliest form of unbelief (kufr) and the worst....</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
When a person who has reached puberty and is sane
voluntarily apostasizes from Islam, he deserves to be killed. In such a
case, it is obligatory...to ask him to repent and return to Islam. If he
does it is accepted from him, but if he refuses, he is immediately
killed."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Their faith instructs them not to be friends with
non-Muslims, and not to recognize or attend their religious festival and
ceremonies. Qur’an 5:51 "O You who believe, take not the non-believers
(Jews, Christians, Buddhist, Hindu, etc) for friends. They are friends
of each other. And who amongst you takes them for friends he is indeed
one of them.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
And, from a very early age they hear and learn
these 'holy' words - direct from Allah (they believe) that they must
live by, and pursue to please Allah, and they cannot question or
criticize the words of 'Allah':</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Qur’an 8:55 “Surely the vilest of beasts in Allah's sight area those who disbelieve.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">

Qur’an 8:59 “The infidels should not think that
they can get away from us. Prepare against them whatever arms and
weaponry you can muster so that you may terrorize them. They are your
enemy and Allah’s enemy.”</div>

THE BUDDHIST HAVE NO SIMILAR TEXT ANYWHERE IN THE BUDDHIST SCRIPTURES</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<strong>OTHER BUDDHIST CULTURES HAVE BEEN DESTROYED THIS WAY</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Remember the 2 giant Buddhist statues carved into a
cliff in central Afghanistan, that were blown up by the Islamic
Taliban? That area, Bamiyan, was one of the earliest major Buddhist
cultures. Other parts of Afghanistan and Pakistan have (or had) ancient
Buddhist ruins, statues, cliff carvings, etc. Even Persia (now Iran)
especially the eastern parts, had significant Buddhist peoples, temples,
monasteries, stupas for many centuries - before the Muslim Arab
invasions.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Why are there no Buddhist people in Iran,
Afghanistan and Pakistan? And, no more Buddhist ruins in Iran and
Afghanistan, and the ones still in Pakistan are being destroyed now?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Because the invading Muslims considered the
Buddhist to be idol worshippers, infidels, and had no respect for
Buddhism, and no need to live together with them. The Buddhist were
forced out or killed down to the last one. And, the holy places were
destroyed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Actually, Bangladesh has had a long and deep
history of Buddhism – starting about 1000 years before Islam even
existed. Based on the Pali texts, Buddhism was thee number one religion
of ancient Bengal (also known as Vanga) as early as the 3rd century BC,
and continued to be until the 12 century AD. There are detailed records
by famous Chinese monk scholars describing many huge monasteries,
intricate stone and brick temples and stupas, and many thousands of
monks. When Hindu armies came to conquer and rule (and the Hindus, then,
were very intolerant of Buddhist) the Buddhist started to leave, and
they moved into the hills and jungles of the Chittagong area. Next came
Muslim invaders - who destroyed the monasteries and temples, killed
thousands of monks, and forced the population to convert to Islam, or
die.</div>

<strong>WHY THE ROHINGYA SHOULD NOT GET CITIZENSHIP</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
SIMILARLY, TODAY, IN MAUNGDAW AND BUTHIDAUNG AREAS,
ALMOST ALL OF THE MONASTERIES AND TEMPLES HAVE BEEN DESTROYED, MONKS
HAVE BEEN KILLED OR DRIVEN AWAY, AND THE BUDDHIST POPULATION OF THESE
AREAS CHANGED FROM MOSTLY BUDDHIST............TO ALMOST <strong>NO </strong>BUDDHIST.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
And if the Royingya are given citizenship then the

and be completely destroyed.</div>

<strong>WHY SHOULD AN ANCIENT AND DEEPLY ROOTED

<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
THE ROHINGYA SHOULD NOT BE GIVEN CITIZENSHIP, AND
THEY DON’T DESERVE CITIZENSHIP, BECAUSE THEY DON’T WANT TO BE A TRUE
CITIZEN. A TRUE CITIZEN SEES HIMSELF OR HERSELF AS AN EQUAL MEMBER OF A
COUNTRY, AND HAS THE DESIRE TO WORK TOGETHER, LEARN FROM EACH OTHER, AND
RESPECT EACH OTHER, AND BUILD A BETTER COUNTRY FOR ALL.</div>

<strong>IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF MINORITY BUDDHIST PEOPLE CAME INTO A MUSLIM COUNTRY, AND MADE DEMANDS…..</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Let's say Buddhist starting coming into Bangladesh
fifty years ago, in large numbers, pushing Muslims out of their villages
and towns, slaughtering them, demanding their own independent Buddhist
land? What would happen? Muslim armies would have moved quickly and
killed every single one of them.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<strong>WHY REPORTERS AND OTHERS SEEM TO AUTOMATICALLY SIDE WITH THE ROHINGYA?</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Most reporters are writers, not historians, and
seek the emotional stories of struggle, discrimination, and tragedy.
Some may know about Burma, and Burmese things, but hardly any of them
know about Arakan and the Rakhaing history, and the real history and
massive migration of the Muslims into Arakan.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
The ruling generals and their regimes could never
be trusted, so it was easy to conclude the story of the Rohingya is the
truth - and it had plenty of emotional and tragic stories and photos.
Disturbing to the Rakhine people, most Burmese people, and those of us
Westerners who know the real situation, is how easily many people
believe the incredible propaganda, media manipulation, deception, use of
fake photos, fake stories, etc.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
And, how easy it is for many people - even those
who seem to know a lot about Burma - to quickly blame the Rakhine
Buddhist people, and call them racist, violent, the ‘bad’ Buddhist,
etc., when it is clear to us who know, that the Rakhine Buddhist people
are solidly great people, with deep Buddhist values of compassion,
tolerance, and patience, and that they have a remarkable legacy, and a
unique place in Buddhist history and world history. But, they are
struggling with a force that intends to eliminate them, and erase their
history.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
There is no indication that Muslims - anywhere in
the world - want to learn about, study, admire, or integrate with the
Rakhine. Instead, Muslims worldwide are calling for jihad (holy war) on
the Burmese and the Rakhine, and even threatening Aung San Suu Kyi.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
As the Rakhine now know,<strong> THEY CANNOT TOLERATE THE INTOLERANT!</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
And, few reporters are willing to address the
'elephant in the room' the real force behind what is happening to the
Buddhist people in Arakan and southern Thailand, and to the Christians
of the Philippines and Indonesia, Lebanon and Iraq, Nigeria and Egypt,
and the Bahai and Zoroastrians of Iran - and that force is - Islam.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
In all these cases there is Islam - from which is
drawn the justification to wage jihad on the god-less Buddhist, and the
infidel Christians, and <strong>all </strong>other non-Muslims.
Disturbing to those who know and have seen it, in the towns and villages
where the Rohingya have a majority or near majority women must be
veiled, and will be beaten if they are not veiled enough (and that
includes that non-Muslim women must dress like that also) the parents of
young school age girls are pressured and threatened not to send their
daughters to school, and many other restrictions on women. Boys are
being trained in Islamic madrassa schools in hateful and discriminatory
Islamic fundamentalist dogma, and Islamic supremacy, and being
thoroughly trained from a young age NOT to question or examine the Koran
and the teachings, and that all non-Muslims are to be shunned and
eventually eliminated, and the world will be purely Islamic someday
soon.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
How about some stories on these things?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<strong>NOT ALL MUSLIMS ARE THE SAME, NOT ALL BELIEVE THE SAME WAY</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Of course, I know that all Muslims are not the
same; all Muslims are not extreme, etc. But I have my experience in
Muslim parts of the world: Yemen, Egypt, Turkey, Kurdistan, Albania,
Indonesia, Malaysia, Muslim part of China and India......... and, yes, I
am critical of Islam, and not afraid to examine it, and say so.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Muslims are <strong>people</strong> that follow a <strong>religion. </strong>As I see it, the religion has some disturbing elements to it, and it depends on <strong>how </strong>a person follows these elements or doesn’t follow them.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Most Muslims would not stone a person to death or
cut off their heads, but some would, and in some parts of the world the
majority would. The role of Islam in the Arakan situation cannot be
ignored.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<strong>WHO SHOULD ASSIST THE ROYHINGYA? WHERE SHOULD THEY GO?</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Bangladesh SHOULD be the country where the Rohingya
SHOULD live. But, Bangladesh refuses to let any more of them in,
although many sneak in, and now Bangladesh is refusing to let aid
organizations help or feed the Rohingya.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Bangladesh should be pressured and even somehow
forced to take the Rohingya. There are 57 countries in the Organization
of Islamic Countries (OIC), but despite the wealth of some of them, not
one of them - so far -is offering to pick up, transport and adopt the
stateless Rohingya. What are these Muslim countries doing to help fellow
muslims? Nothing. Shame on them.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Instead they are using all the fake photos and
stories to stir people up, and imams and leaders are calling for severe
action, and jihad against the Buddhist of Burma, and threatening to
eliminate the god-less Buddhist.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Already in Malaysia and other places Muslim mobs
have burst into Burmese restaurants and businesses, destroying the
places and attacking and killing the Burmese. In Indonesia a violent mob
nearly broke into the Burmese Embassy, and if it had succeeded it would
have destroyed it and killed all the personnel.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
THE ROHINGYA SHOULD ONLY BE SETTLED IN A MOSLEM COUNTRY (AND NOT IN A NON-MUSLIM PART OF A MUSLIM COUNTRY)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
It is not right to let them live among non-Muslims,
if that makes them think that for their own goals the other people have
to ‘disappear’. It is not right.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<strong>The Rohingya created their own destiny.
They must deal with what they created, and take responsibility for their
dilemma. It’s possible that they could create a different reality
someday. I hope so.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

May Thingyan Hein(Myitmakha)<br />
<br />
(This is the continued part of “How big is the Rohingya Dispute which can be reached by following the given link.)<br />
<br />
http://on.fb.me/LVJAQp<br />
<br />
It is said that the Rohingya crisis is certainly a big problem for
our country. According to historical backgrounds, this is not just a
regional problem of the Arakan State, but a national problem should not
be forgotten.<br />
<br />
<strong>Who did create the problem?</strong><br />
<br />
I have blamed the immigration department since I heard that in Buthi
Tong and Maung Taw 90% of the locals is Bengalis, 7% is Arakanese and 3%
is other ethnicities. Only after looking the historical facts, I
realized that it is not right to blame the immigration department alone
for such issue.<br />
<br />
In the earlier colonial era, Arakan State has fallen under the control of British and was combined with Bengal State.<br />
<br />
In 1839, the British government announced an agricultural extension,
as a result Bengalis from SistaGung and Suyatis from Madayat entered to
Arakan State as workers, described in historical documentations.<br />
<br />
Before the World War II, Muslims from India asked to create the
eastern Bengali State and western parts of India as Pakistan. According
to a magazine published at the time around 1959-60, the act of
requesting was obvious that the Bengalis tried to get their own country
by working together with Pakistan. In respond, the British government
said that was a wrong thing and suggested them the right things to do.
And they followed the suggestions.<br />
<br />
According to Series 10/1, Acc No.641, NAD, Maung Taw and Buthi Tong
were asked to be included in eastern Pakistan in the report from May 15,
1947. Again in the under the governance of Anti-Fascist People's
Freedom League, Mujahit Party sent a request document, asking to give
them nationality status, to regard them as Arakanese-Muslims and as an
ethnicity, to have the right to hold their own armed group, and to allow
them to involve in government. The demands caused debates in Second
Parliament Conference.<br />
<br />
To win the election the Anti-Fascist People's Freedom League
cooperated with the head of State Department U Amaung (aka) Adu Ladit
and allowed the entering of Bengalis into the country. Also in Buthi
Tong Township, the region chair-person of Anti-Fascist People's Freedom
League Abu Khine and regional immigration offices issued them national
identity cards.<br />
<br />
That was a big mistake the government has done to the country, stated
the report of 0H/p/0360/2009. In the historical review of the
Anti-Fascist People's Freedom League, Muslims were granted to access
into Parliament and some of them also became the heads in some
Ministries.<br />
<br />
After General Ne Win came to power, he rejected their requests and
reduced their nationality status. In respond, the Bengalis from Arakan
State reported they were Arakanese-Muslims. In Maung Taw Township
historical reviews, the report was written former Parliament Member
Gaphar. He held a press conference in 1960, quoting Rohingya ethnicity
and Rohingya language.<br />
<br />
<strong>Naga Min Mission</strong><br />
<br />
According to historical documents, Naga Min Mission was enforced to
drive illegal immigrants out of the country. The mission started in
Northern Arakan State so most of the Bengalis fled into the neighboring
Bangladesh. The exiled Rohingya stated that the government was killing
them as an attempt to wipe them out of the country. Those stories were
described in Bangladesh, Pakistan and Malaysian newspapers and also in
western newspapers.<br />
<br />
<br />
Bengalis number around 15,000 fled to Bangladesh in 1975 and in 1978,
the number was 200,000. In the country the missions were known as ones
to defeat Bengali uprisings. However, Myanmar government and military
were discredited by the international communities.<br />
<br />
After the intervention of UNHCR, the government had to accept them back in the country and they settled in Arakan State.<br />
<br />
<strong>Acts of terror committed by Rohingya before 88 uprising</strong><br />
<br />
The Bengalis took May 13 as the day to defeat Arakanese and in May
13, 1988, at 9 p.m. they started to attack Arakanese and burnt Myothit
Monastery. Polices had to defense the public. During the unrests, their
leader Dr. Htun Aung (Adu Laut) and a Bengali lawyer Shwe Maung stated
Bengalis were Roingya and they were in Myanmar since 680 A.D. and they
should the same rights as Arakanese and they have the right to have
their own autonomy and state. That was written in Rohingya Bengali
uprising page 146.<br />
<br />
<strong>The movements of Rohingya after 1988</strong><br />
<br />
There were also missions to drive Rohingya in 1989, ’91 and ’92. Most
of them fled into neighboring country but later returned after the
interventions of UNHCR and international communities. Since then they
asked to regard them as an ethnicity.<br />
<br />
In 2003, Myanmar Rohingya Association (Japan) published a “Union of
Myanmar and Rohingya Ethnic Minorities”. The book was sold in many
countries and there were literature talks stating that Rohingya exit.<br />
<br />
The international community accepted the idea and forced Myanmar to
accept them. Given that, one can easily understand the current unrests
between Rohingya and Arakanese.<br />
<br />
‘There are no Rohingya in our place, only Arakanese, Myo, Kami,
Kaman, Thet, Dynat and Mayamar Kyi. They are the seven diversities of
Arakanese ethnicity. Rohingya are just illegal immigrants from the
neighboring country.<br />
Both American embassy and government need to know it. It is in fact
an attempt to bring unrests into Myanmar and cause religious riots to
say that Bengalis are one of our ethnicity.Although they sneaked into
our country, we did not refuse them and lived with them peacefully. They
got freedom of religious. But please do not make an attempt to regard
them as one of our ethnicity. Most of the houses burnt are Arakanese
properties. But it is described in Medias that Bengalis were being
tortured.Arakanese died and Bengalis moved to the place. Now they
claimed it is their land. However, we could do nothing to prevent it but
the world has to know the truth.’ said U Aye Thar Aung of Arakanese
League for Democracy.<br />
<br />
For the current government, it’s a problem that should be solved with
great care, taking the lessons from Gen. Ne Win’s acts and the uprising
from May 13, 1988.<br />
<br />
As for me, I suppose this is a national problem. A problem that test our acts of protecting our country.<br />

At the same time, another group of Rohingya advocates, Rohingya
Blogger, which is founded by U Ba Sein, an ex-politician from
Buthidaung, Maungtaw of Arakan State has been spreading fabricating
tales on how the government of Myanmar has oppressed the Rohingya over
the years.<br />
<br />
For the past two year, Tun Khin, the President of
BROUK (Burmese Rohingya Organization UK) has been staging protests to
raise concern for the Rohingya. He did so by the assistance of BCUK
(Burma Campaign UK). The majority of Myanmar netizens have distrust in
the ethic of BCUK and BBC. <br />
<br />
U Ba Sein of Rohingya Blogger and Tun
Khin of BROUK have close contact with Nurul Islam from ARNO. This
explains why the two groups are manipulated by ARNO and are very much
desperate to promote Rohingya even by despicable methods. The photos of
their meeting some time ago is attached with this article as well. On 10
June 2012, U Ba Sein posted a photo of some Bengalis rescued by some
Indonesia navy in 2009 and mentioned that they are Rohingyas killed by
the Rakkhine recently. The men in the photos are actually just lying
down with no blood on their bodies nor cut wounds. In another incident, a
Rohingya advocate media group, Kaladan Press, has published a deceptive
article on how Rohingyas are killed using the photo of the deceased
during 2011's bomb blast in Myawaddy, southern Myanmar. The same piece
of news is published in a Bangladesh newspaper using the very same wrong
photo of last year's bomb blast incident.<br />

Since 8 June 2012, thousands of homes have been torched and a
massacred took place during the deadly sectarian violence in Arakan
State, Myanmar. The attackers are illegal immigrants, namely Rohingyas
who claim themselves as an ethnic group of the nation.<br />
<br />
The number
of casualties has been rising despite the declaration of a state
emergency and a strict curfew being imposed. News of the sectarian
violence hit the headlines of the international press and photos of
Rohingyas flooded everywhere.<br />
<br />
I am very disappointed with what I
have been seeing and hearing what the international media channels are
reporting on the Rohingya attack. They are totally blinded, siding with
the Rohingya attackers, and distorting the fact that the Rakkhines are
the real victims. The happenings are not as what they have been
broadcasted. It is not a religious riot. It is not the attack of the
majority Rakkhine to the minority Rohingya. It is, in fact, an invasion;
to be precise, Rohingya invasion into Arakan land.<br />
<br />
According to
some of the reporters from the local media groups who actually are at
the scene of violence, the Rohingyas are committing a massacred and
torching the Buddhist and Hindu temples as well as the houses of the
residents Rakkhine. They are also weaponed with RPGs and guns while the
villagers are holding only kitchen knives and slender bamboo sticks with
sharpened edges to defend.<br />
<br />
What caused all the chaos in the
Arakan State? Well, it all started when a native Buddhist girl was
brutally raped and murdered by three Muslims on May 28. The rapists
recorded the whole process of crime on a mp4 player and spread it among
other illegal immigrants. This incident is followed by a killing of ten
Muslims on Jun 3 where some Rakhines allegedly dragged them out and
killed them. Little did the world media know about the deceased here is
that these men were involved in the rape and murder case of the Buddhist
girl and they were there to offer monetary reward to the families of
the rapist which is why the local Rakhines were furious. During
confrontation, they also threw sarcasm and vulgarity at the locals.<br />
<br />
Most
of the Myanmar netizens know what is really going on in Arakan State
but the world does not. I would firmly say that Myanmar has been
sabotaged by a group of strongly-funded Rohingya advocates and some
foreign-based Myanmar media groups who have agreed to side with
Rohingyas and promote them in return for monetary gain.<br />
<br />
In 2008,
photos of the Chairman of a media group DVB (Democratic Voice of Burma),
meeting with Nurul Islam, the President of ARNO (Arkan Rohingya
National Organization), were made public by their immediate circle. ARNO
is reported connecting with Al Qaeda and funded by Arab nations. Since
last year, the government of Bangladesh has reportedly told the members
of ARNO to leave the country to maintain law and order in the area and
yet, there are eight ARNO bases on Bangladesh land. Since their meeting,
DVB has been promoting Rohingyas and voicing out for them. Shortly
after, Han Yawng Hwe, the Chairman of DVB, was accused of taking bribe
from ARNO for the service DVB has rendered for the Rohingyas.<br />

The international media groups have been unfair to Myanmar and to
the Rakkhine victims of the Rohingya attack. It is obvious that the
Rohingyas are the attackers. Why would the majority Rakkhine leave their
homes, and get their properties torched if they were the attackers? I
strongly feel indignant by how the photos of artifice are flooding the
world media. I am miffed by how the photos of what is really happening
in Arakan State are published nowhere on the world media channels. <br />
<br />
I
would like to ask the international entities who speak up for
Rohingyas. Who would speak up for the Rakkhines whose homes were
ablazed? Who would seek justice for the Rakkhines who were brutally
murdered by the Rohingyas during the Arakan massacred? You suggested the
government of Myanmar of accept the Rohingyas. Were you there when the
Rohingyas raped our women? Were you there when they splashed kerosene at
our homes and burnt them down? Were you there when they brutally murder
our people? Please do not be fooled the Rohingya proganda set up the
group of despicable media groups. Get up and set your foot on our Arakan
land. Hear our cries. Feel our sorrow. Touch our tears. Touch our
blood. See the carcasses. See the faces. It is for real. None of these
are fabricated nor manipulated. The victims are the Rakkhines, the
innocent villagers who were killed by the Rohingya terrorists. Why did
Rohingyas kill the villagers? The answer is simple. It is because
Rohingyas are not one of us, not one of the ethnic group of Myanmar. In
fact, they are terrorists!<br />

<br />
On international medias, news about riots in Arakan State have been
described as sectarian conflicts between Buddhists and Muslims. In fact,
it is not as simple as those reporters described. Nor just racial
conflict as well.<br />
So, in order to trace the culprit behind these riots, we need to know relevant historical background for certain reference.<br />
<br />
Today, what we called Rohingyas are originally Chittagonian Benglis
who are decedents of Bengalis from Chittagong in Bangladesh. After
British occupation in Burma, they migrated to Arakan state in Burma to
be employed on farms. After every season, they usually go back to their
home. During second world war, following Japanese Invasion into Burma,
British troops armed Bengali to support them in case of resisting
aggressive Japanese troops. After that, such armed forces were like
death penalty for local landlords, Arakanese. Bengali forces brutalized
and massacred over 2000 of Arakanese and nearly 300 of villages were
completely burned down. British military officers tried to settle down
every situation. This was the first riot between Arakanese and Bengali,
which left massive casualties on Arakanese side.Such conflicts have
grown as a result of 1839 land law which allowed thousands of Indian
decedent immigrants to stream into Burma, some of them to Rangoon and
some through Burma-India (now Bangladesh) border.<br />
<br />
From that moment, civil clash started to occur and is still unlikely
to end peacefully. After independence from Britain, central control of
Burmese Government was challenged by ethnic rebellions who also gave way
for armed Bengali troops named as Mujaheeden rebellions to claim Maung
Daw and Bu Theedaung districts in Arakan state as their own Islamic
state. In 1978 Burmese military cracked down Mujahedeen rebellions
making them flee towards Bangladesh. During SPDC period, at least three
times of systematic crack down were accomplished by Burmese military
junta which had created serious condemnation from UN and other Islamic
countries. In 1992, probably due to pressures from Islamic countries of
ASEAN, Burma has accepted 230000 of rohingyas in Arakan state.<br />
<br />
Bengali Muslims have very different social,cultural and religious
believes compared to local Arakanese. They are Muslims and such
religious difference may have raised pre-existing tensions amongst local
ethnic groups. Traditionally, Arakan state have Muslim ethnic so called
Kamans whom have been acknowledged by Burmese government although they
are comparatively a minority group. Interestingly, such Muslim Kamans
and Arakanese did not have big racial or religious conflicts. Similarly,
there are also some Muslims living in Arakan state and they don't seem
to have problems with original residents.<br />
<br />
After 1942 massacre of Arakanese, tensions have raised uncontrollably
and intention to claim the own state has created strong suspects on
Rohingyas. Neither of any ethnic group in Burma shows willingness to
accept rohingyas because ethnic law prescribed in 1947 constitution of
Burma has clearly stated that ethnic tribes living in Burma before A.D
1823 can only be listed as ethnic tribes of Burma. This law has been
agreed by all ethnic leaders in Burma and was not denied by even Muslim
leaders like U Razak and U Pe Tin.<br />
<br />
Such suspects and long term social conflicts of very different social
and cultural norms have already led to a nearly erupted problem.
Arakanese may view Rohingyas as invaders who are destroying their
tradition and religion because in every riots religious places are
always targeted and destroyed. And even though there are other bordering
areas in Burma with countries like China and Thailand, such conflict
can be seen but only in Western Burma where Rohingyas are residing. So
this unhealed social wound has spread among local communities for
decades.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, UNHCR and international NGOs recognize rohingyas as
refugees and they provide food,medicine and shelter for rohingyas. And
such organizations pressure on Burmese government to accept them as an
ethnic minority. But Burmese government has denied both proposals
because they are not historically an ethnic group of Burma and can
create a number of conflicts in politically unstable Burma. In such
situations, neglected people are the true owners of this land,
Arakanese. They are not fully protected by Burmese military junta as
they showed strong patriotism on their ethnicity and a rebellion armed
force was formed in post independence period. UNHCR and other iNGOs are
only for rohingyas which is why the gap between the lack of Burmese
government care and NGOs have made Arakanese more vulnerable to every
social problems.<br />
<br />
Border Security Forces of Burma are highly notorious for corruption
which make way for rich Bengali to enter central Burma and in turn those
Bengali can pave another routes with their money. Here is the dilemma.
How can refugees be such rich? Some local resources reported that those
aids are provided by international Islamic organizations to promote
Islam in Burma. Bribery and corruption of security forces and
immigration staff make geographically sensitive area Maung Daw to be
dominated by Rohingya Bengalis.<br />
<br />
The sense of land loss, ignorance by government, poverty, loss of
traditional pride and massacre in history have created socially negative
views in Arakanese mind on Bengali people. Fear from extinction of
Arakanese has intensify their family sense. Desire to sacrifice for
tradition and religion seem to boost their motivation to defend their
communities from aggressive rohingyas. Although some may claim that
Rohingyas are minorities, they are now majorities in Arakan state and
all Arakanese are at risk of being bullied in many ways.<br />
<br />
These social factors have been largely ignored by Burmese Junta and
other Burmese politicians due to unstable local politics. Once erupted,
we can see as riots which are now being described as sectarian
conflicts. In fact, it is not completely true. This is a long lasting
civil conflict rooted from difference in social, cultural and religious
believes. Arakanese people have honorable long history of their monarchy
and kingdom two thousand years ago. They truly believe that they are
belonged to this land. Bengalis are just immigrants with aggressive
behaviors.<br />
<br />
Such social conflicts must be viewed closely. Otherwise, giving too much superficial comments will make situation worse.lammadawphotoathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06333972240675684547noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3134666303268880931.post-68661917380150278392012-06-10T08:10:00.003-07:002012-06-10T08:10:43.738-07:00They Are Not Myanmar,Do You Know About That Maung Zarni?<div style="text-align: justify;">
<img alt="" border="0" src="http://wontharnu.com/images/mk.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dear Maung Zarni,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I would not like spending my time on writing or responding to
Myanmar people and Bengali concern so-called Rohingya’s issue. I feel
like I am being fooled by those Bengali Muslim who call themselves
Rohingya as the name that they made up has never appeared and never
found in the Arakan or world history before Burma's independence. Many
historians and record books that based on Arakan history have already
pointed out that there were very little Muslims living in Maung-Daw and
Bothidaung district around 1960, just 20 years before I was born. I was
born in Pa-Ne-Chaung Island, 40 minutes drive by boat from Site-Tway,
the capital city of Arakan or Rakhine state, Myanmar and have never
heard the name so-called Rohingya through my time in Arakan. We do have
some Muslim villages in my island and I have so many good Muslim friends
as well. However, they have never mentioned that they were Rohingyas
who settled Arakan thousands years ago or <em>a shipwrecked Arab trader as so called-Roingya claimed.</em><em> </em>However,
they simply admit or being proud to be Bengali Muslims and we have been
living there together for many years peacefully.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As I have mentioned in some comments before, the issue that so-called
Rohingya brought to us today is not about creating peaceful community
in Arakan and Myanmar or neither human rights issue but simply having an
intention to establish Islamic state in Myanmar. My dear Maung Zarni,
your accusation of Arakanese being racist is not acceptable and simply
insulting not only Arakanse but people of the whole Myanmar. It seems
to me that you have a strong wish for so-called Rohingya to be
recognized as one of Myanmar ethics but you do not seem to be ware of
the point that Arakanese and Burmese people are making. You should
realize that not just those Bengali are being oppressed or poor in
Arakan and denied basic human right but vast majority of other native
people such as Mro, Khami, Thet, Dainak, chaung thar, Marama and so on
are facing the same problem. You might be aware that Arakan is the
second poorest state in Myanmar. Our new Mr.Thein Sein government is
trying their best but has just a little impact on the situation. There
are on going land confiscation and unemployment and no potential plans
that would create jobs for coming young generations in Arakan. Many
Arakanese are leaving their land in order to find good life, to support
their poor families and becoming slaves of Singapore, Thai and Malaysia.
I wonder why this so-called Rohingya, mutual and educated Bengalis are
not making a single point of it if they love Arakan or do they just
think so-called Rohingya are the only human beings who live in Arakan?
This is very funny attitude of these immigrant Bengalis, attempting to
discriminate Arakanese, the owner of Arakan. Thompon(2001) has said that
beliefs and values are a basic part of racism; that is, racism is an
ideology. I, therefore, would like to encourage you to learn to see who
the racists are.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dear Maung Zarni, you might have heard of that a group of Muslim
risked their life and crossed the sea to find good life in other
countries some years ago but was being arrested by Thai polices. We,
Arakanese, were deeply concerned by Thai police’s behavior because they
pushed them back to the sea. However, what made me really sad was
so-called Rohingya appeared suddenly and took advantage of people in
need. They sealed them as Rohingya and took international attention on
human right issue. In addition, this is a slap by so-called Rohingyas to
Bengali Muslims and taking advantages of Myanmar people as Myanmar is
struggling for instability of politic. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I, therefore, strongly condemn those Bengali who lived outside
Myanmar and keep fooling international communities with their fake and
false of history of Arakan for their racism. Arakan and his people were
civilized more than 5000 years and was a blessed and peaceful country.
Buddha, himself, came to Arakan and world first Mahamuni image was
casted by the requested of our king Sanda-Thuriya.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“The great outstanding feature in the history of Arakan is the
account of Buddha's sojourn in this country and of his supervision over
the casting of his image. The story of his seven day's visit with five
hundred Rahandas--- his lengthly discourse pregnant with prophesy
delivered on the top of the hill opposite the town of Kyauktaw-- His
Journey into the city of Dynnyawaddi at the request of King Sanda
Thurya--- the casting of the image by men and gods, have been very
clearly set fourth by the able researches of the late Dr. Forchammer and
need hardly be mentioned again in the present sketch. The Mahamuni
tradition is the oldest of the kind we have. It permeates the whole
religious history of Arakan and the images that at present sanctify a
thousand temples and pagodas in this country are the replicas of the
first great and only faithful copy of the Master.” “
<strong>(J.B.R.S Vol. 6, Part3. 1916)</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Racism has never practiced in Arakan. You can look at our Arakanese
history of Mrauk-Oo, the forth dynasty of Arakan kingdom from the time
king Saw Mwan who built the city in 1430 A.D to the last king
Tha-Ma-Da-Rar-Zar arrested by Burmese king Bodaw U Wine in AD1784. There
were many foreigners who served for Mrauk-Oo golden place such as
Portuguese, Kaman, Bengalis, Siamese and so on. Some of our kings even
hired Samurais to protect them from assassination. Furthermore, you may
see there are many Mosques ( Muslims’ temple) in Site-Twe, Arakan and
doing their regular prayer every days using loud speakers. We,
Arakanese, never complained about their religious activities even though
these are on going ear-disturbing for the people who do not believe in
Islam. Therefore, your accusation of both Burmese and Arakanese being
racist is rootless.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My dear Maung Zarni, I respect your attitude of anti-racism and we
need to discourage those who misguiding to treat human in a undignified
way. However, I would to add that you are simply missing the point. We
are defending ourselves and protecting our country from intruders
so-called Rohingya who have been insulting our history and using our
Muslims’ brothers for their evil intention of establishing an Islamic
state in Myanmar. This is not simply a human right issue and we are not
encouraging racism in our country but this is responsibility of each and
all communities in Burma to do in order to avoid from having potential

On 8 June 2012, a tragedy struck the Arankan State of Myanmar. The
native Arankanese civilians were severely attacked by Rohingya
terrorists, who are the illegal immigrants from Bangladesh. It was a
well-organized attacked by a Muslim insurgent group called Rohingya
Solidarity Organization (RSO). RSO was formed in 1982 by the remaining
Mujahideens who were defeated by the Burmese Army in 1978's Dragon King
Operations. <br />
Over the past decade, RSO has developed connections with similar
Muslim extremist organizations in Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Their aim is to create an autonomous state on Arakan land uniting the
existing illegal Rohingya immigrants in Arankan State and Rohingyas from
Bangladesh. Over the years, RSO gains their finances through criminal
activities such as smuggling of guns and drugs between Bangladesh and
Arakan State. They also receive massive funds from charities from
Islamic organizations from middle east nations.<br /><br />During 1990s,
with the help of an extreme Sunni Muslim Organization HuJI, RSO managed
to connect to Al Qaeda. Soon, thousands of RSO members were sent to
Libya to attend terrorist training courses arranged by Al Qaeda. They
even served in Al Qaeda army as porters and mine clearance specialists.<br /><br />In
2001, the authorities from the United States seized several videotapes
and records from an Al Qaeda base in Afghanistan. One of the records
showed that the RSO of Burma is listed as the followers of Al Qaeda. A
tape which showed a group of RSO participating in the Al Qaeda's
operations was found as well. According to their findings, the US
academic claimed that the largest Al Qaeda cell in South-East Asia is
supposed to somewhere near Myanmar-Bangladesh border. They also expected
that the number of RSO terrorists would grow.<br />

With strong funding from Arab nations, Rohingya advocates have
successfully bribed exile medias of Myanmar and have them fabricated
pathetic tales about how the Myanmar Government violated human rights on
Rohingyas. Evidently, photographs of Han Yaung Wai, the Chairman of
Democratic Voice of Burma, were released. In the photographs, he was
seen signing a suspiciously Rohingya-promotion-agreement with some
Arabs. <br /><br />Due to the massive population growth of Bangladesh, it is
obvious that the Rohingya aka the Bengali of Bangladesh native have
been eyeing the neighboring Arankan land. Over the years, with the help
of corrupted immigration officers, they have managed to infiltrate into
the Arankan State. It was once reported locally that an average of 800
Rohingyas are sneaking into the country a day. These illegal immigrants
bring more harm than benefits to the country by committing gang rapes,
smuggling of firearms and drugs, conducting racial attacks especially on
the Arankan land. However, due to the weak channelling of local medias,
none of the incidents nor the crimes committed by them were made known
to the international entities. The truth about Rohingyas which very few
people know is that Rohingyas are not just stateless refugees. They are
terrorists who try to invade the Arankan State of Myanmar.lammadawphotoathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06333972240675684547noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3134666303268880931.post-83200970181923738252012-06-10T07:55:00.000-07:002012-06-10T07:57:52.701-07:00They Are Terrorize 2<div class="img_caption none" style="float: none; width: 480px;">

<br />
Dozens
of Rakhine people were killed amidst the Rohingya terrorist attacks in
border town of Maungdaw in Rakhine State, the western part of Myanmar on
Friday.<br />
<br />
Due to the violence, hundreds of houses and buildings
were burnt down by mobs.<br />
<br />
The death toll in the incident has reached 20
to 30 until the night of 8 June and the injured persons nearby villages
of Maundaw Township have been taken to Maungdaw hospital.<br />
<br />
The
onset of the violence on 8 June was that the Rohingya Muslims who
returned from the mosque yesterday afternoon started throwing the stones
to the Rakhine houses and buildings in Maungdaw Township, according to
the Eleven Media reporter whose house was also blazed amidst the
violence.<br />
<br />
As the riots could not be controlled, the police forces
took security measures in the town where Muslims are majority and
Rakhine people are minority. Rohingya mobs were setting fire on the
nearby villages of Rakhine ethnics, said a Buddhist monk who resides in
Maungdaw Township.<br />

Due to these unrests, the State-owned media aired the announcement of
Section 144 of the Criminal Procedure Code (Curfew) which states people
are not to go outside between 18:00 pm and 06:00 am in Maungdaw and
Buthedaung townships.<br />
<br />
In contrary to the reporting of foreign
media, the army did not fire at the mobs, but just warning shots to the
riot to help the security measures of police forces, according to the
EMG reporter in Maundaw Township where the clashes are happening.<br />
<br />
Highly
prominent journalist Dr. Than Htut Aung, Chairman and CEO of the Eleven
Media Group said, “Up to now, the handling of army in this violence is
smooth and flexible. It was reportedly known that the military fired
only the warning shots. Although the case seemed to be the problem
between the Muslims and the Buddhists, there may be some incitements
behind the incident.”<br />
<br />
As the Rohingya mobs are approaching to
enter the town and nearby villages, the security forces are taking
places there and conducting warning fires to them.<br />

“The situations in Maungdaw Township are very serious. The problem
should be solved by legal procedures. We do not accept anarchic actions.
Security forces concerned should settle the problem systematically. We
must control the situation not to spread. If the problem becomes bigger,
it is possible to result in series of cases. I warned the possibility
of problems in Maungdaw after the case of Sittway. These attacks would
seriously threaten to Arakanese people not only in Buthidaung and
Maungdaw townships, but also in some areas with minority of them. The
government has responsibilities to calm down the worries of these
people. In the future, the security of border area in Rakhine State
should be taken by Rakhine people, and that of Shan State by Shan
people. Paramilitary forces should be organized to safeguard the
security of respective areas. The government should allow more security
plans. We will also submit these plans to the parliament. If this
incident is similar to massacre of 1942 which was intentionally plotted,
the persons behind the curtain are responsible for the consequences.
Security persons, international figures and religious leaders should not
neglect the case. They should cooperate in solving this problem,” said
Chairman Dr. Aye Maung of the Rakhine Ethnics Development Party.lammadawphotoathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06333972240675684547noreply@blogger.com0
