Muslims in Burma are being persecuted and murdered by extremist Buddists and the Burmese government and they are being awarded??

[GeorgiaIsOnMyMind]

Aung Sung Suu Kyi is a prostitute of the buddhist extremist aparthied government of Burma.

Ms. 786... I know you're a strong Muslim. You don't see the problem here. One thing for sure is how do you integrate a race who never belonged there in the first place. The first Rohingyas settled in Burma probably long ago but thousands fled into Burma in the last 100 years or so. How do you integrate them so that the vast majority can accept? Give them citizenship and fuel the majority's anger? So naive of you.

[Aung1988]

How do you know that it was completely self-defense? What about the attacks on Rakhine houses? How is it self-defense when half of the houses burned down in the beginning few weeks of the violence were Rakhine houses? Tell me... you will watch the news from Al Jazeera or other Muslim sources and you can find all the bad things done by Rakhines. If you watch Burmese news, you will find the same story on the other end. Which one is right?

You just show your prove that the existence of the name Rohingya in history. Only Rakhine existed. Muslim Retard.

[myothaw]

Of course, I hold the facts and I talk in this way. Muslim International. Do you want to see the evidences?

[786swe]

You think your the propaganda that you read can compete with historical facts written by academics?

[786swe]

Typical bigot. Can't handle facts.
