Burma in the news

Who would have thought that that little country with the most peaceful of creatures on God's good Earth would be the first ones to show the world how to deal with members of the evil cult of islam?  Kudos to the Buddhist monks.  Wish you every success in your endeavor.  This also re-enforces my belief that good people can recognize evil for what it is and can fight the hardest to stamp it out.

Cult members fight each other in refugee camps.  I hope UN is not twisting Canada's arm to give some refuge over here.  Saudi Arabia has vast lands and neverending truckloads of money.  Send them there.
.... Two people were killed and six wounded    when security forces tried to quell a dispute at a refugee camp housing Muslims in western Myanmar, the U.N. refugee agency said Friday.
Thursday morning’s dispute was apparently triggered by disagreements over how some 4,400 ethnic Rohingya at the camp in Pauktaw township should be resettled, the office of the U.N.

The 969 movement  is a good thing, but of course Reuters thinks it's not.   hahahahha
(Reuters) - The Buddhist extremist movement  in Myanmar, known as 969, portrays itself as a grassroots creed.
Its chief proponent, a monk named Wirathu, was once jailed by the former military junta for anti-Muslim violence and once called himself the "Burmese bin Laden."

But a Reuters examination traces 969's origins to an official in the dictatorship that once ran Myanmar, and which is the direct predecessor of today's reformist government. The 969 movement now enjoys support from senior government officials, establishment monks and even some members of the opposition National League for Democracy (NLD), the political party of Nobel peace laureate Aung San Suu Kyi.
Wirathu urges Buddhists to boycott Muslim shops and shun interfaith marriages. He calls mosques "enemy bases."
Among his admirers: Myanmar's minister of religious affairs.
"Wirathu's sermons are about promoting love and understanding between religions," Sann Sint, minister of religious affairs, told Reuters in his first interview with the international media. "It is impossible he is inciting religious violence."
Sann Sint, a former lieutenant general in Myanmar's army, also sees nothing wrong with the boycott of Muslim businesses being led by the 969 monks. "We are now practicing market economics," he said. "Nobody can stop that. It is up to the consumers.".........

Slime Ragazine banned in Burma
