“Pro-Democracy” Groups Behind Myanmar Refugee Attacks

“Pro-Democracy” Groups Behind Myanmar Refugee Attacks | Global Research

In the summer and early fall of 2012 when this wave of violence had again erupted, AFP reported in their article, “Monks stage anti-Rohingya march in Myanmar,” that the marching “monks” supported President Thein Sein’s plan to expel the Rohingya, before paradoxically admitting that Thein Sein has accused the marchers of “kindling hatred toward the Rohingya.”

AFP, in a grave lapse of professional journalism, refers to the leader of this movement as merely “a monk named Wirathu.”

However, this isn’t merely “a monk named Wirathu,” but “Sayadaw” (venerable teacher) Wirathu who has led many of “democratic champion” Aung San Suu Kyi’s political street campaigns and is often referred to by the Western media as an “activist monk.”

In March of this year, Wirathu had led a rally calling for the release of so-called “political prisoners,” so designated by US State Department funded faux-NGOs. Wirathu himself was in prison, according to AFP, for inciting hatred against Muslims, until recently released as part of an amnesty, an amnesty US State Department-funded (page 15, .pdf) Democratic Voice of Burma claims concerned only “political prisoners.”

Something that is not often reported in the West. For all the images of the smiling Dalai Lama, or other "peaceful" Buddhist monks, the Religion of Buddhism can be just as bloodthirsty and tyrannical as any other Religion, as shown by the angry Buddhists in Burma launching a campaign of violence against Burmese Muslims.

But not to worry, we have a good puppet, Aung San Suu Kyi, to clean things up right? :rolleyes:

It's almost as if it were people that were the problem and the religion or belief system was just the justification...
