Popular Post boonrawdcnx Posted September 13, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted September 13, 2018 My friends and family do not include a troublesome migrant group belonging to a religion that does not integrate resulting in conflicts with the host population, so it does not apply. when even passive Buddhist cannot live with Muslims I know where the blame lies. Sounds almost like something out of Hitlers playbook - just replace the “Buddhist” with passive Germans and Muslims with Jews! And there you go - pure Nazi propaganda! And as for the passive Bhuddists in Myanmar I would recommend to read up a bit. Defending torture, rape, murder, genocide because of non-integration and conflicts with the “ master race” host population sounds a bit lame to say the least. I am sure the Burmese murderous generals and their troops - who have robbed, raped and killed in their own country for decades would have preferred a Hitler style “ Endloesung “ in gas chambers but in today’s world it is not that easy anymore to murder undetected - as the exposed Rohingya mass graves - also in this country - show. It’s about time that the international community steps in and sends these murderers in uniform where they belong - to prison!

But there is more than one side to the Rohingya issue, but those points of view are not open for discussion. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the Burmese are not known for creating fake news as a way of justifing its actions nor are the Russian bots writing for MGBA News! What this one chap says goes. Posting news stories from Make Britain Great Again News to justify genocide and crimes against humanity really does show the kind of person you are.

I am British, and am sorry to say you are absolutely correct. The Brits have a lot to answer for in the past. Ask the Tamils in Sri Lanka., same problem. Unfortunately between the 1600 and 1900s the UK set a very bad example ranging from slave trading to to what you outlined. The problem is many other countries in the world looked upon the British example and thought, well thats a nice of making ourselves rich, and have used the persecution of its own people to continue to enrich themselves . Thailand is not excluded either if you read their history from the 1650s onwards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah well, they did define the rights, to which the members signed to: http://www.un.org/en/universal-declaration-human-rights/ Humans as animals don't have any "rights", it's just an agreement between ourselves. The right to die might be an exemption. EDIT: Here's a kicker for ya: Quote Article 20. (1) Everyone has the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association. And yes Thailand is part of UN.

Wahhabism comes to mind. But the overly broad brush-stroke that " But Muslims Don't Want To" -- False - Not all sects of Islam are like Wahhabis. Many sects have a history of co-existing with other religions and even their secular neighbors just fine. So what he says may be true where he lives, or it could be an over-generalization. But if he's making that statement for his entire country or all the countries in the world, then it is a gross over-generalization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
