As political heroes go, few rank higher that Burmese opposition leader, Aung San Suu Kyi. Most people know her as a modern-day saint – the diminutive democrat who defied Burma’s ruthless military leaders. Yet an increasing number are beginning to question Ms Suu Kyi’s judgement.
Channel4 News (h/t Jim Y) Remarks made in a BBC television interview this week in relation to that country’s brutal ethnic conflict between Buddhists and the minority Muslims have earned particular criticism. Observers and activists have accused Burma’s “icon of democracy” of factual inaccuracies and a surprising shortage of compassion.
Ethnic violence erupted last year in Sittwe, the capital of Burma’s Rakhine state. Rohingya Muslims bore the brunt of the violence with an estimated 142,000 now living in a series of squalid camps. In April, Human Rights Watch accused government and military officials, as well as local extremist groups, of ethnic cleansing.
When asked about HRW’s findings by the BBC, Ms Suu Kyi dismissed them out of hand. “It’s not ethnic cleansing,” she said. “What the world needs to understand (is) that the fear is not just on the side of the Muslims, but on the side of the Buddhists as well.” This is her standard response to questions about the violence. Nobody bears responsibility. Instead, “fear” is blamed. Everyone suffers “equally”. In Ms Suu Kyi’s world, victims and offenders are the same.
The vast majority of Muslim Rohingya residents in Sittwe have been cleared out while Buddhists remain in their homes. Furthermore, the Rohingya are politically powerless. They are denied citizenship in Burma and face a wide range of draconian restrictions on healthcare, schooling, travel – even their ability to have children. The Buddhist population on the other hand face no comparable restrictions – and why would they? They control the local and state government.
Muslims in Burma were troubled by several other references in her BBC interview. First, a reference to those Muslims who had “managed to integrate” has made many feel uncomfortable. Here’s what she said: “I would like to make the point that there are many moderate Muslims in Burma who have been well integrated into our society….” That’s got many people asking whether she thinks Muslims have to acquire some sort of “Burmeseness” in order to be “accepted”. There is, of course, no such thing as a national identity in Burma. The constitution recognizes 135 different ethnic groups.
Secondly, Ms Suu Kyi seems to suggest that the violence was caused by Buddhists’ fear of what she calls “global Muslim power”, saying: “You, I think, will accept that there is a perception that Muslim power, global Muslim power, is very great and certainly that is the perception in many parts of the world, and in our country too.” This is dangerous territory for the Nobel Prize winner.
The Rohingya have not been linked with any acts of violence – or pan-Arab extremist groups like al-Qaeda – despite the desperate situation they find themselves in (NOT! See links below). If Burmese Buddhists perceive Muslim groups like the Rohingya to be part of a “global Muslim power movement”, it is incumbent on her, as a person with real moral authority, to correct that misconception.
Here’s an article about Myanmar from 2012. Islam is everywhere doing this. https://thebodyoftruth.wordpress.com/2012/08/06/my-personal-view-of-the-myanmar-violence/
why didn’t you put pictures and write about teenager Muslim girls that were raped and killed by the Buddhists, or the millions photo of died muslim babies who have burned alive with their family or the burning houses and mosques if you really really pure heart, human right, peaceful , angel, and non-muslim person?????
answer is you are a hypocrisies anti muslim
Because I never see any. And yes, I AM anti-Muslim. What you going to do about it?
I would suggest you brainless clown are the hypocrite. You are also extremely limited in knowledge. There is now no question that islam is after world domination. Let me recite a message of Ayatollah Khomeini to muslims. He said ‘But those who study islamic holy war (I study it/them) will understand why islam wants to conquer the whole world. Those WHO KNOW NOTHING OF ISLAM pretend that islam counsels against war. Those who say this are witless’. V well said and his honesty is refreshing. I reckon you know nothing about real islam even though you may be one. Muslims are not encouraged to delve too far in the ‘scriptures’. They want you to only know what they will tell you and this v often doctored ( because these are horrendous ‘scriptures, a million times worse than any thing in other religions. I know I’ve read them ALL!
They want to conquer by overbreeding as a first option (which will eventually backfire) and then use their usual technique, attack with extraordinary cruelty and violence. The instructions are all through their Koran and hadith. Its what mohammed did to conquer many cities and further into middle east. Then he moved on North Africa and wanted to take Europe whose Crusades WERE NOT about attacking, they the only defending because islam is totally obsessed with conquering Europe and have tried a multitude times. Islam spread the lies about the Crusaders, that islam was the victim. They love playing victim.The brutal murders and rapes of small children is beyond belief. Theres no concept of paedophila in islam because its everyday behaviour. Sex with children is allowed under islam laws. There are even instructions on how to have sex with small children So evil. .Mohammed married a 6 year and several more after that. He was 53. Scum. You haven’t read a thing I think about islam. You would be deeply in shock.
Horray for the Buddhists. They do the right thing we let the muslim heathens in. Very bad on our part.
Because this isn’t “just” Myanmar. Wherever Islam goes, there is civil war & genocide. This can’t be blamed on the Buddhists. Islam worships death; & followers live only to die & go to paradise for their 72 child sex slaves. Islam allows four wives (age 9+ for intercourse) & unlimited sex slaves (age 1+) so that there will always be a large number of potential martyrs for spreading Islam. There are camps teaching Muslim kids how to kill infidels. You want the world to allow Islam to take over because it sacrifices its own kids? If Islam treats its own that way; no wonder it mandates crucifying, dismembering, beheading, raping, FGM, sexual slavery, etc. Islam “loves death like its enemies love life.” Your complaining about Muslim deaths is taqiyya. You love death; & only use it to manipulate the world.

It’s significant that we are finally seeing people rise up against Islam in countries like Egypt and Burma/Myanmar. People in the West like that silly twit of an interviewer are still pretending that savages who hack heads in two while screeching “allahuuuuuakbar” can be reasoned with. Suu Kyi has spent a lifetime standing up to ruthless bullies and knows better.
She is one of the few internatonal heroes in the world!
Betcha the liberal (read dhimmi) media will drop her like a hot potato.
Anyone speaking the truth about islam becomes the media’s villian.
Thanks alot BNI now I’ve gotta go boil my eyes from those photos
Sorry, King, but you know what they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.
This is very good news and it only adds legitimacy both to the Burmese Buddhists fighting for their nation and the counter-jihad cause in general. Hard for those dhimmis in the West to argue against a Nobel Peace Prize recipient, because she is an irrefutable symbol of peace and tolerance, and one they themselves probably revered. Ordinary people might take Aung San Suu Kyi’s arguments more seriously, because she has the weight of her coveted Nobel Prize behind her. It might prompt those uniformed about the dangers of Islam to consider, “Well, if someone like her is saying these things, could there be a real reason behind it?”
Good on Ms. Suu Kyi to support her country’s people in their fight for survival. I must confess this is the first time I’m hearing about her, but I like what I’ve read so far. She is truly a person who believes in peace, and because of that, she rightfully recognizes that Islam is the antithesis to peace, both in her nation and globally. I hope we hear more from her in the future, and I hope her message resonates with people who otherwise would not listen to the truth.
Good news. The 6 billion non muslims are beginning to wake up to the threat of the 1 billion muslim savages of islam. With the help of people like Spencer, Geller, BNI, Marine LePen, Greet Wilders and so on that the rest of the world is starting to wake up to the truth that islam is the problem and we will have to join forces as 6 billion Christians, Jews, infidels, gays and so on to survive the blood lust inbred crazyness of the 1 billion muslims of the cult of islam’s effort to take over the world.
I think the number is up to 2 billion now.
LOl. Guys you know wat. I was just reading about Myannmar yesterday afternoon and how the Muslims all Islamic propaganda channels were having a go at this wonderful lady for being reticent about the Muslim plight when they are the ones who started the problem.
there was a piece in the UK telegraph about this a month or so ago, with the writer saying “why on earth doesn’t she say something about the terrible violence against muslims??” I wrote a comment saying “probably because she agrees with it”, which was slated, of course…
Umma-sharia slavery just be abolished worldwide and by all means
Why don’t people open their eyes and realise that where the violence happens the muslim savages are. that idiot who wrote that article was defending them doesn’t have the balls or heart to see the truth for what it is!
Allah Fuckbar !!! Islam is the best religious for terrorists because if they die in the war they still have change go to heaven and get 72 virgin angles. Allah Fuckbar !!!!!
Muslims are DOGS, DEMONIC, SATANIC, EVIL worshipers of a FALSE RELIGION!! Islam is RELIGION NOT PEACE!!!
Kristiann1:
Dogs – and ALL animals in fact!!! – are INFINITELY BETTER than any Moslem who sticks with that SATANIC system!!!! I’m quite upset with your writing what you did, especially as a dog-lover.
Moslems are DEVILS and nothing more, following their chief Antichrist Mohammed and his sock-puppet “allah” (whose real name is Satan!!!)!!!
One sees here how the Communist-owned “mainstream-media” are looking upon Aung San Suu Kyi with a jaundiced eye (and getting ready to dump her into the pot of opprobrium) because she’s going against their collaborationist line with Islam. If she persists like this and they blacken her name, then we’ll know that she’s the REAL McCoy, “echt und edel”…
DEATH TO ISLAM, COMMUNISM, NAZISM and ALL other tyranny and totalitarianism, PERIOD!!!!!
You’re Right!! I like Dogs and Cats a lot!! I just wanted to Say the Islam is a FALSE RELIGION really BAD! I do NOT like Muslims in USA or World!! They are Satanic and Kill People!! God Said, Thou Shalt NOT KILL ( Exodus 20:18 )!!
Muslim are Satan ( the devil )!! They will go in HELL soon!! DO NOT TRUST Muslim!!
Brava for owning up to your error, Kristiann1!
I know how much our Western society has this dichotomy of love/hate with certain animals like dogs, cats, &c., in addition to how some non-Moslem human beings (e.g., my own brother) really neither understand nor value the unconditional love animals give!! [Over 16 years ago I might have slipped into something like what you did – truly, my pet-bitchlet has taught me PLENTY!!!]
[One word that I could scarcely have imagined ending up with such a terrible fate is “bitch”, which traditionally denotes a female dog – instead, it has been used relative to prostitutes of an especially-“low” status (all the more if they speak up for themselves – e.g., to “bitch” about something).]
Yes, you’re very right that Moslems are devils following their Satanic-IDOL Mohammed, who was every bit as extra-EVIL a wretch as Hitler or Stáljin. What’s really remarkable is how he managed to attract ANY following – likely because he started off “mild” and then started to appeal to the viler instincts in Mankind (kill, rape, steal, torture, deliberately lie and play games with truth!) in addition to a certain sort of “class”-appeal where non-Moslems are in essence at best second-class, at worst worse rated than ordinary earth. Also, that he obviously despised women and female-children is most noteworthy…
In essence, they violate ALL TEN of the Ten Commandments – and as such will end up first in Hell and thence (after the Last Judgement) the Lake of Fire… Definitely I’ll NEVER trust especially those who adhere to that cult…
Kr: Reptile would be a good word to use.
