Stop killing of Muslims in Burma....!!!

Burma has a population 75 million with the Muslim population being just 0.7 million. The Burmese Muslims have been under this affliction after 1962 when the Army usurped the power in Burma. It all started on 3rd June 2012 when 11 innocent Muslims were killed by the Burmese Army and the Buddhist mobs after bringing them down from a bus. A vehement protest was carried out in the Muslim majority province of Arakan, but the Protestants fell victims to the tyranny of the mobs and the army.

 Trying to elude capture and an imminent killing; Burmese Muslims thronged to the Bangladeshi border, but all they met was dismay. The Government of Bangladesh refused to offer them asylum.

 Over 500 Muslim villages have been incinerated hither-to. Thousands have been exterminated. The persecution of the Burmese Muslims at the hands of the Buddhist mobs is at its full swing. Yet all the human rights organizations have maintained a criminal silence up till now. Has the Muslim world become so callous that they remain undeterred by such genocide?

 This is not a new thing or an unprecedented massacre. Muslims have been a subject to such hostility even before. If we go through theannals of history we come to the very tenable conclusion that Muslims were always on the suffering side. Islam is a religion of peace andharmony. It doesn’t allow its followers to lay-waste any other tenet. This leaves behind a big question mark. Why are the followersof such a peaceful religion being oppressed from time to time?

 The fear stricken faces of the poor Burmese Muslims really cuts one apart. The glimpse of their bruised bodies is a heart rendingspectacle. Where is the UN now? Why isn’t the International media highlighting this issue? Why are the competitive authorities of theMuslim world procrastinating?

 Stop killing the Burmese Muslims. JI did a meritorious job by staging rallies against this brutality. The government of Pakistan shouldraise a voice in favor of the poor Burmese Muslims at the international forum. The whole Muslim world should join hands to getthe poor Burmese out of their distress and misery.

In lieu of launching into a tirade against the killings, something should be done on the ground. If we don’t help out our brothers there then we are equally responsible for their bloodshed. We won’t be able to satisfy our conscience, and the abrasive cries of the Burmese Muslims will keep on pinching us throughout our lives.
