Is this a forbidden topic here? I don't remember seeing a thread on this. I just noticed this a few days ago and came here for the usual education (not the biased stint on the MSM).
If not a forbidden topic, what's going on? Seems like some (illegal?) muslims attacked and killed some police / military (primarily buddhist?). And now they are being driven out?
Sounds legit except the MSM is calling for the authorities to stop? But why -- illegals attack the locals and the fault is on the locals? Why not push them out? What's missing?

I doubt if it's forbidden, just not talked about much, by anyone. I'll take a WAG that it's much like Libya was or Syria is now, where the governments are repressive, yet the potential replacement factions are as bad or worse, given the chance. Some people, I'm sorry to say, simply need a jackboot firmly planted on their necks at all times.

repressing muslim attacks with disproportionate retaliation...
Okay by me but I still call it Burma.
"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

My dad was stationed there during WWll. He was a radio operator on a B-17,until he got in theater. Then him and another private and a lieutenant would go up in the jungle and spot enemy aircraft and radio in coordinates and headings. He's still alive at 94 and very independent. So he is why I still refer to that country as Burma.

I have two close friends that were born in Burma. They were part of the guerilla army which fought the General Myanmar regime. I know way more about the issues there than I would openly discuss. The Myanmar regime is brutal and is cleaning out the Rohyinga population. Burma like Cuba are the only two Democratic countries that were overthrown and became dictatorships. My two friends are now proud American Burmese citizens!!!

It seems the Rhoyhingi, or whatever, are bangledeshi invaders.

The Rohingyas are ethnically Bengali, the same ethnicity of the population of Bangladesh. They are also Muslim, Sunni Muslims to be precise. Most of the Rohingyas are the descedants of Bengali Muslims that had migrated to Burma prior to the countries of India, Pakistan, and Burma gaining their independence from the United Kingdom. The Rohingya population always had an adverserial relationship with the majority Buddhist population. They insist on speaking Bengali, and the stay seperate from the Buddhist Burmese. Therefore, the Burmese have always considered the Rohingyas to be illegal immigrants, and treat them as such. Recently, of course muslim youth have formed the "Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army" a terrorist group in Rakaine State, allied with ISIS, and have taken to attacking and killing Burmese Army and Burmese Police units killing a large number of soldiers and policemen. And the Burmese Govt has responded in kind, attacking Rohingya settlements and villages, destroying them, killing a lot of Rohingya. About 300,000 Rohingyas have run away to Bangladesh, and are now in refugee camps, claiming to be the victims of the "racist" Buddhist-led, Burmese State.

One of the dirty secrets amongst global liberal-elites is counting '91 Noble Peace Prize winner and Myanmar native Aung San Suu Kyi, as one of their own. For the last 20-years, she was held up as the paragon of peaceful resistance and standing up against the military dictatorship. The reality is, she's now that country's prime minister while also being it's biggest celebrity, meanwhile she looks the other way as the Ryohingas are systematically slaughtered. Like the Palestinians, they're the dregs amongst the Muslim hierarchical system, the have no home, have historically roamed around while leaching off other dominant cultures.

Corsair- it is not that the Rohingya's have no home. Bangladesh, just next door is their home. They have infiltrated Arakan State or Rakaine State in Burma since the early part of the 20th Century, have and the second wave of illegal immigration was in the 1970 and 1980s. They have been a malovalent presence in Burma, and have attacked and killed Buddhist Burmese by the thousands. No one talkabout it like as if we are not supposed to mention the Rohingya's blood thirsty habits. The Rohingya's are just getting their just desserts, and Aung Sung Suu Ki is right to not interfere with the Burmese military's operations against the Rohingya's.

I have not even a superficial understanding of the situation but that is what it seems like to me.
Hence my confusion on why the MSM (domestic and international like BBC / NHK / others) seems to favor the Rohingya.
