26-Jul-13 World View -- Egypt prepares for Friday showdown

"In the case of Burma, the monks rationalize their violent acts based on fear that the country is being overtaken by Muslims, even though the country has a 90% Buddhist majority among its 60 million people, and the Muslims are about 5% of the population, many of whom are both disenfranchised and stateless."
What do you mean by "disenfranchised and stateless"? Could you explain, please?

Well, Buddhists in Burma are far from alone in justifying these kinds of attacks. I saw many comments on the Breitbat articles doing essentially the same thing, stating the Buddhists are merely victims of Muslim oppression. How they can do that while being only a small portion of the population was left unexplained.

Originally the communists in Imperial Russia, and the Nazi in Germany were only a small number, and look how that turned out.Trevor wrote:Well, Buddhists in Burma are far from alone in justifying these kinds of attacks.

I don't support genocide against the Muslims in Burma (or anyone else).
I think what this really points too is this: multi-culturalism (racial, ethnic , religious, whatever) doesn't work. Soon this type of thing will start happening in Greece with Golden Dawn attacking immigrants (including Buddhist immigrants). And no one will stop Golden Dawn from doing it.
I don't really think this is as much about religion as the media is suggesting. The Muslims in Burma are racial dark-skinned, Begali speaking Indians-not Asian (orientals?) like the average Burmese. (I know the British like to refer to Indians as "Asians:, but my point is that the Muslim population of Burma is racially, culturally, and lingusitically different from the rest of the Burmese population in that area.

They start out with 1%, 2% 5% 10% .... as they continue to gain influence and force capitulation of the invaded societies, they begin to assert their will ever more forcefully. Once a tipping point is reached they will take over. Like a virus taking over its host.
I find it amusing that the only society that is willing to stand up to this is a pacifist one.
