Are you freaking serious? What, people JUST started having issues with Muslims in their countries after Trump was elected? Never before right?

This incident is awful but it's hilarious how you Trump haters use any incident to blame him.

The Nobel committee is fine, but awarding the peace prize to Obama was a complete joke. As, in hindsight, was awarding it to Aung San Suu Kyi.

What do you think people like Trump means? It's like saying "people like Nazis are awful, but not Nazis themselves".

And I don't like Trump so try again.

The violence began last month after Rohingya insurgents attacked dozens of police posts and an army base in Rakhine. The military responded by killing at least 400 people, triggering a massive exodus of Rohingya villagers. The United Nations refugee agency says that more than 123,000 have fled Myanmar – formerly known as Burma – into Bangladesh since the violence broke out. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned the situation could spiral into a "humanitarian catastrophe."

Yes that is correct, they've been trying to get rid of them for years. However the recent real "shit hitting the fan" event that started all this in the last couple weeks was that.

as all things about religion, the religion itself is usually only a part of the issue. you can bet the majority of people in myanmar just follow what their monks tell them to do instead of thinking for themselves. same way random muslim villagers that take up arms at the behest of their imams and other religious leaders do. as usual, religion is being used as a tool to exert power and control
