Rohingya Muslims: The Hidden Persecution of a People

News:

A reporter toured the lands of a ransacked and poor-stricken Myanmar. He compared the living conditions of the Buddhists to the Muslim population, visiting “normal” camps of the non-Muslim to the horror of the Muslim flimsy shelters. Bringing attention to a rarely covered plight in the media world, he interviewed activists in Muslim organizations and NGO’s operating in Myanmar and the harsh consequences they endure to bring about change for the Rohingya Muslims, faced with fruitless efforts for an unwanted people in their own lands.

Comment:

The Rohingya Muslims have been living under harsh inhumane conditions on a daily basis for the past decades. Local NGO’s and Muslim community groups have tried to help yet failed every time to end to the savagery in Myanmar. As a result of the deep hatred embedded in their (Buddhists and other non-Muslims) hearts against the Muslim population, these type of organizations face abuse, assault and isolation for trying to bring attention to the plight of the Rohingya Muslims and calling for new reform laws. Leading Muslim activists to either give up or take on a more muted non-offensive passive approach towards the government where one chairperson said in the Press TV interview, we thank the government for not killing us. As if that is a government’s main task – persecute its people?!! The media does not focus on this tragedy against humanity, especially in that far part of the world. However the twisted mantra of the western capitalists have been trying to enter through backdoors and loopholes to get a firm standing in cementing lucrative business deals as Myanmar has a great amount of undiscovered potential. Hence we see some light being shed on the human crisis in the Rakhine area against the Muslim population… or is that yet another cover to intrude and plunder the resources of the land with a “legitimate” seal?

Time again and again the western capitalists prove that their lust for undeserved money and power outweighs the value for guaranteeing a people to live in dignity and a state of safety. When the lush Muslim lands of the Khilafah State were once considered the Gardens of Eden on Earth for all of humanity to prosper have become a living nightmare with persecution, hunger, bodies bare to the elements bearing the stamp of the consequences of a man-made regime. The Muslim armies that are a handspan away need to rise up to their Islamic duty to serve and protect their Ummah since it is this force that will rescue and rid the people of their misery with the full implementation of the Laws of Allah سبحانه وتعالى that the Ummah can once again see the beauty of Myanmar.
