Current situation of Muslims in Burma

on Saturday, September 1, 2012

The world is going through the most uncertain conditions and every country is facing threats from inside as well as from outside. Human right violations are on the peak in every part of the world and in this critical situation all the world authorities have failed to bring the peace. The most troubled areas in the world now days are Syria, Palestine, Kashmir and Myanmar. Myanmar has topped in the human rights violation in the last 2 years. The state of Myanmar is a Buddhist majority state and is ruled by the military for the last 50 years. In the last 50 years the military has committed many human rights violations and the main victims were the Muslims. The Buddhist state rulers claim that these Muslims in Burma are the illegal immigrants from the adjoining countries and they have no place in the Burmese state. The rulers have made it clear to the world authorities that these immigrants are not the responsibility of the state and they should be expelled. The Burmese rulers have requested the UN missions to settle these people in the other countries in order to clear Burma form the minorities.

The reality is opposite because these people are not illegal immigrants but they are living here for many decades. The most problematic area is the Rohingya Muslims area where the life and property of the Muslims are under continuous threat.  They are compelled to stay out of their houses because the military has laid the land mines in their areas.  All the Muslims and other minority areas are deprived of the basic necessities and are not given their basic rights.  In less than two months more than 20,000 Muslims in Burma have been killed in the ethnic clashes. The world bodies have not played their due role in settling this decades old issue and even the United Nations have not come to rescue the people.  The organization of Islamic conference was held in the month of Ramadan which also failed to sort out this issue. The king of Saudi Arabia however offered the monetary help to the Muslims of Rohingya. The reaction of the world bodies has been cold on this which has further increased the hatred of Muslims over the west. This lack of trust and the gap that is developing between the west and east is dangerous and can have very negative consequences.

The feelings of hatred and being ignored are increasing among the Burma Muslims and it should come to an end.  The Muslims all over the world should be given equal treatment and justice should be free and fair.  The situation of Muslims in Burma is critical as the military is not even differentiating between the innocent women and children and the extremists. The innocent Muslims women and children are burned alive; the women are raped and kept under illegal custody. All these situations have compelled the people to settle in the forest and the faraway place where they are living miserably. There should be an end to the Burmese authority atrocities against the humanity and Muslims should be given their valid rights. Every person is born free and no one has right to challenge his or her existence and basic rights.
