Muslim Killing in Burma

Muslims killing in Burma is increasing day by day and on every  social media outlet everyone talking about it. The most shocking thing everyone notices and questioned that why the media observing a criminal silence on this issue? Not only the western world but also the Muslim countries are silent where media even made the minor issue a big chaos for higher viewership. The stories of the merciless killings of Burmese Muslims at the hands of livid Buddhist rabbles and the Burmese Army are heart taking. According to reports, more than 20,000 Muslims have been killed only this month in Myanmar by police, army and Buddhist extremists.

The agitation aroused after the killing of 10 Muslims who were burned alive in a bus after the news of gang raped of Buddhist woman, who died after the incident. The Burmese army was also accused of torching more than 500 villages in Burma. The amazing thing is the United Nations and other human right agencies role is also not visible. Muslim organizations in diverse countries are raising questions on human rights organizations, the United Nations for ignoring this issue and observing criminal silence. They also continually ask the Muslim world why it has stayed insensitive by Muslim genocide.

This unrest on ethnic basis is in Burma from the last one century where Muslims living as minority without having any citizenship rights. They were denied as a being citizens of Burma and the neighbor Muslim country Bangladesh closed their borders on them as well.  Other minority groups as Christians also not recognized in Burma. There are clear violations of rights and recognition in Burma regarding minorities.

The role of UN is very important as the UN should come forward and put force on the Burmese government to grant Christian and Muslim minorities equal citizenship status as that which Buddhist citizens enjoy. There should be some solid moves from the side of government so as the majority should not destroy the minority’s rights. This leads to the peaceful Burma state and also protects the Muslims right over there. The Muslim countries should raise voice on the brutal killing of Muslims as well as media to help the needy Burmese Muslims and stop the innocent killings over there.
