Thank ya
Nope there was plenty of substance like every fucking word you said . You literally hang yourself without my help . Thank you for confirming it yourself.
Quote:That was kinda of a bating reply, but it illustrates the point; people read into the very smallest of things what they want to hear to help them make their point.
No that would be you .
Quote:It was a simple statement that based on things that we have seen in the media, given time, the muslims likely would be doing the exact same thing. That is not cheering on one side or the other.
Which does not change the statement in the least.
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.

Tragic. It's a shame she doesn't seem to have learnt a thing.

This reminds me of the Karen people. Maybe it's worse what they went through, but there are definite similarities.

Look we can't rush to judgment on this.
Is there any word on what the Rohingya have been doing to the Buddhists?
Still, a mighty blow to the reputation of little miss Aung sang too kyi.
She was once viewed as this liberal reformer and is later cast as a gross violator of human rights.
Someone should be saying..Awng Sang..What happened?

It's fucking genocide!
I hate that PC sounding term.
I have to wonder, though, if any of the Muslim countries will do anything to help these people?
I don't think they'll do a thing.
The wealthiest (Arabian gulf countries) are busy in the crisis between Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE. Add the terrible war in Yemen to the mix (which most wealthy Muslim states are already a part of), add the Kurdish independence which keeps Turkey occupied and busy and..... IDK but these poor Rohingya seem like alone and forsaken. If they got a Dollar of support from Muslim countries; I'll consider them lucky.
And hey; don't think Muslim states didn't see this coming! What they do in Yemen is similar to what Myanmar is witnessing, it's just so hard to picture them helping anybody after all the crimes each and every state is drenched in to the teeth, and most problems they face are from their own doing. And those who pay eventually are the common people who get their lives taken as a toy; with genocides carried against them just for being weak.

Aung San Suu Kyi apparently thinks the term "ethnic cleansing" is too strong a phrase to describe what's happening. Not only that, she feels that "both sides" are full of fear.
Yeah.
SMH
A person's care for human rights shows it's quality when it comes to pointing out the crimes of their own people. Even the crimes of one's own hands. She should've respected the noble she had; and should've known more than anybody else that the shoe of the oppressed is fit for anybody; she might be in the place of the Rohingya anytime

The upside, is that it's been something to beat smug buddhists over the head with. It's been ongoing for nearly 60 years now.
