Rohingya insurgents Murder Hindu village in Myanmar sparing only those who converted to Islam,

[Lord Coke]

This article is from MAY 22, 2018 / 9:40 AM so fairly recent but still old enough that I would have thought there would be international press on a wide scale about this. I think that this puts a different light on the Myanmar conflict. If Amnesty International is correct and 99 hindus were massacred for not converting to Islam that would suggest to me that the situation in Myanmar is far more nuanced than we have been led to believe. It seems like if the Rohingya are engaged in masscreing others then the government of Burma might be dealing with a legitimate security threat rather than just engaged in some human rights violation.

Rohingya Muslim militants in Myanmar killed about 100 Hindu men, women and children during attacks last August, sparing only those who converted to Islam, according to an investigation by Amnesty International published Tuesday.

A Rohingya armed group brandishing guns and swords is responsible for at least one, and potentially a second, massacre of up to 99 Hindu women, men, and children as well as additional unlawful killings and abductions of Hindu villagers in August 2017, Amnesty International revealed today after carrying out a detailed investigation inside Myanmar’s Rakhine State.

Based on dozens of interviews conducted there and across the border in Bangladesh, as well as photographic evidence analyzed by forensic pathologists, the organization revealed how Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA) fighters sowed fear among Hindus and other ethnic communities with these brutal attacks.

“Our latest investigation on the ground sheds much-needed light on the largely under-reported human rights abuses by ARSA during northern Rakhine State’s unspeakably dark recent history,” said Tirana Hassan, Crisis Response Director at Amnesty International.

Amnesty International has also documented ARSA’s involvement in other killings and violent attacks against members of other ethnic and religious communities.

On 26 August 2017, ARSA members killed six Hindus – two women, a man, and three children – and injured another Hindu woman on the outskirts of Maungdaw town, near Myo Thu Gyi village.

Kor Mor La, 25, was one of two women who survived the attack, along with four children. Her husband Na Ra Yan, 30, and five-year-old daughter Shu Nan Daw were both killed. “The people who shot us were dressed in black. … I couldn’t see their faces, only their eyes. … They had long guns and swords,” Kor Mor Lar said. “My husband was shot next to me. I was shot [in the chest]. After that I was barely conscious.”

The killings came just days after ARSA fighters unleashed a series of attacks on around 30 Myanmar security posts on 25 August 2017, prompting an unlawful and grossly disproportionate campaign of violence by Myanmar’s security forces. Amnesty International and others have documented in detail how this campaign was marked by killings, rape and other sexual violence, torture, village burning, forced starvation tactics, and other violations which constitute crimes against humanity under international law. More than 693,000 Rohingya people were forced to flee to Bangladesh, where they still remain.

What!!!! Muslims killing people for not being Muslims and the media didn’t report it extensively and highlight the violence that comes with this religion?!?!?!?!

I don’t believe it.....

 

[bushman505]

Of course it will all get twisted around by liberals and they will claim these “insurgents” don’t represent the rest of them.

 

[plataoplombo]

Wait, weren't these the same people that were being persecuted and run out of their homes not too long ago.

 

[abiG]

Holy fuck! I would love to know who supports this insanity. Who is their support for money and from where are their weapons?

Sure but they were run out of their homes for trying to topple the government.

Must be the Israelis right????....RIGHT??? Really though how much money do you need to give like 25 untrained conscripts a few guns.

Everyone wants to apply European standards to south east Asia as though the concepts are comparable. War has existed in Burma for 1000s of years, it’s just the way things are.

Read this about a week or 2 ago and was going to make a thread but then forgot.

When I heard the news my reaction was What Fcuk!! The Muslim Rohingya are being slaughtered and raped by the Burmese and yet these Islamist Rohingya decide to slaughter Hindu Rohingya?? The Burmese are killing and cleansing the Rohingya for racial reasons primarily ,so even the Hindu Rohingya would be hated by the Burmese yet these Islamosupremacist rebels still can't resist from their genocidal urges.

A lot of blame for this should fall on Al Qaeda, Saudi indoctrination and not least Pakistan. The later has been sending Jihadist to indoctrinate Bangladeshis.

In South Asia, the Muslims already genocided and cleansed Hindus , Christians and Sikhs from Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh.

Nice group of people I guess.

Not sure, but funny you mention Israel. Since Trump declared the embassy move, the Israelis have massacred even more people and still nothing as the US refuses to allow the world to take action. Very sad, and what's worse is that it is still happening... right this second!

You’d think that when you’re trying to convince a host country to accept thousands of you, you might hold off on the stereotypical violence for a bit.

Its not a secret, nor has it ever been, that the Rohingya have insurgents that commit violence but in terms of scale there's no comparison, the government is overwhelmingly responsible for the violence and ethnic cleansing in the region. Ultimately the responsibility for the conflict rests on the Burmese government, they are the ones pushing out tens of thousands, by this point maybe even hundreds of thousands, of the Rohingyas instead of trying to integrate them into their society.

People seem to want to excuse it because they hate Muslims and instinctively assume that violence against them must be justified without taking into considerations the specifics of conflicts like this.

Sure but they were run out of their homes for trying to topple the government.

That's not what happened, they wanted to secede or gain autonomy because the Rakhine Buddhist majority deny them citizenship even though they've lived in the region for generations. Now the Buddhist government wants to simply ethnically cleanse them instead of giving them citizenship.

Ironically, this is what happened to the Rohingya. Aljazeera has a pretty recent piece on this:
The Rohingya are an ethnic group, the majority of whom are Muslim, who have lived for centuries in the majority Buddhist Myanmar. Currently, there are about 1.1 million Rohingya in the Southeast Asian country....

Due to ongoing violence and persecution, hundreds of thousands of Rohingya have fled to neighbouring countries either by land or boat over the course of many decades....

"Rohingyas have been living in Arakan from time immemorial," referring to the area now known as Rakhine....

After independence, the government viewed the migration that took place during British rule as "illegal, and it is on this basis that they refuse citizenship to the majority of Rohingya," HRW said in a report issued in 2000....

It’s not ironic, it’s exactly what I was saying.
