Is US security apparatus blind to Buddhist terrorism?
Why has the US security apparatus which sees a Muslim terrorist behind every bush, still not listed Burmese Buddhist monk and convicted criminal Ashin Wirathu, along with the "969" movement led by him, as terrorists?
Even Time magazine ran his picture last year on their cover in every country in the world except the United States, labeling him in the largest typeset that would fit as "The face of Buddhist Terror." Wirathu even calls himself the “Burmese bin Laden.”
Despite spending seven years in prison for religious violence, Wirathu honored with a "freedom of religion" award from the UK's foremost Burmese monastery in the same week that he spread rumors that a Rangoon school would be developed into a mosque. Myanmar's President Thein Sein praises him as a noble person dedicated to peace.
His "969" organization has recently linked up with groups in Sri Lanka and India which are violently pursuing the same anti-Muslim agenda, but the US security apparatus remains entirely silent and the international political apparatus continues its policy of engaging the Myanmar regime in both military and economic matters while praising the regime for its imaginary progress towards democracy.
Meanwhile, the Islamic world is hardly willing to recognize the dark skinned Rohingya as Muslims, despite the fact that they have been a jewel in the Islamic crown since at least the 9th century.
The situation could hardly be worse as roughly a million and half Burmese Muslims face a slow and agonizing extermination.
Quite apart from Wirathu's role in agitating for extreme violence against Muslims, his mouth is a virtual cesspool of hate propaganda. He is on record as having praised the ultra-right wing English Defense League and said at various times:
"Muslim guests (in Burma) are violating, insulting and abusing the hospitality and tolerance of the Buddhist hosts. We have put up with these (Muslim) thieves, robbers abusers and invaders for too long. I don't want to resort to violence. But they continue behave like a band of car thieves. This situation requires radical solutions. We need covert actions like CIA and Mossad. I will make the Muslims of Mandalay starve. I will make them homeless. When I give you all the signal to start this campaign will you be ready to take actions!"
"Once we won this battle we will move on to other Muslim targets and we must keep on moving our (Muslim) targets. Now Moulmein is about to fall into the Enemy’s hand, or the hands of the Kalars (******s), that is, of course, unless we fail to mobilize our Buddhist public’s force."
"Muslims are only well behaved when they are weak. When they become strong, they are like a wolf or a jackal; in large packs they hunt down other animals."
Of course when condemning this terrorist monk, we should not overlook that there are many decent Buddhists; nor should we ignore the fact that fact the Burmese government is 100% behind, involved in and supportive of this racist's agenda of violence. The same holds true for many of the activists who comprised the anti-junta "88 Generation."
Many people ask, what can the US do to legitimately help defuse the dangers faced by Myanmar's Rohingya Muslims? There are of course many things which need to be done but the US can start by officially listing Wirathu and his organization as terrorists in the same way the security apparatus would certainly have already done had they been Muslim rather Buddhist.

PRESS TV??
LOL
Press TV is the propaganda arm of the Iranian Mullahs.

If Press TV told you water is wet, you'd best take a bath to verify it.
Your desperation is becoming obvious when you have to turn to a source like this to try (and obviously fail) to make a point.
And there you have it.....the supporters of Press TV.
Kinda proves my point, doesn't it?
Your point was that RT also is propaganda and not news. Know how many bull**** stories the US has put out in the last year alone let alone in the last 15 years? Were any of those reports false in hindsight? The correct answer is they all turned out to be lies. Does you mom know you visit radical Muslim web sites just so you get the view you desire, the one that allows you to hate as much as you do.And there you have it.....the supporters of Press TV.

I love the title of this thread...

If religion is the cause why is ISIS (for example, robbing banks and taking over oil refineries) as those seem like prizes when riches is the cause of the war. Religious activities would see houses of worship being built. You got any headlines of new ones opening up in the area. You are aware that the ones that make war for good old material things also lie about what is happening just so they can go it longer. With all 3 religions gunning down children is that some sort of 'conditioning' so when it escalates the wrong ones get the blame just long enough to make a good defense virtually impossible.
The fake *** wars and terrorism will end up with Mid-east NG going to Europe and Russian and some Iranian NG going to the Far-east. You seem to be up on China, what technology that is referenced in this vid was passed on to China from the West because China is not going to be repressed any longer and NG is step one out of that hole. If this vid is correct then China went through the same thing the USSR did early in the last century. To get along with the West the USSR gave the contracts to install generators and power lines and the tripled the price on all electrical appliances and restricted access to the better machines that would make them 'productive'. The appliances were purchased with Ukrainian grain and in the early 30's millions died of hunger because of that. Look at China and that same pattern can be found in that the repression was inspired by the west and not as a desire that came from the people inside the country as just being the proper way to run a country. It would certainly explain 50 years of 'complaining' and zero actual effort to fix it (while doing the same and worse in Africa and occupied Iran in that same time.
Sooner or later even you have to admit the whole thing stinks and ours might be the worst instead of the least.

I finally watched that video.
That guy is as much of a tool as Christians who think their own view of their religion is the most accurate one.
No matter what member of whatever group you belong to, you will always find varying degrees of autonomy within that membership.
Unless you are talking about troops in the military.

Those frisky Buddhists!!
The guy is telling you that every Friday prayers are said in every mosque asking Allah for victory over the infidel. That's you and me, Brother.
The idiot Liberal senator challenged him on that, in essence, called him a liar.
This is not something open to interpretation, it is either true, or untrue. Anyone that knows anything about Islam knows it is true.
The imam that was invited to pray at the Vatican prayed for victory over the infidel.
Wake up.
You are being redirected...

That's exactly what you do when it comes to Islamic terrorism, while you pay insipid lip service to pretending to be aware.
You whitewash it.
What region have the KKK taken hold of and are presently employing genocide to rid all other forms of religion from?Yea, the KKK has no religious extremists lol
Though most members of the KKK saw themselves as holding to American values and Christian morality, virtually every Christian denomination officially denounced the Ku Klux Klan.

Gee, I wonder who that sounds like hmmmmmmm.
Let me think.
Oh, right...
Why not, you do it all the time.
Because they simply pale in comparison.
What's yours?
No, it's absolute fact/
On a group you mock people for focusing on.
I love it when you prove me right.
Stop making up arguments, you look stupid doing things you cry like a bitch about.
That's what he does when he's running on empty.
Sorry about the neg rep, screen jumped.
