balance is for the cowards who are afraid of taking stands....she is not even politically correct...let alone to have a leadership of any calibre.....if you nust know, read how Gandhi did when there were riots in Calcutta

[@ainshin8667]

+Waseem Akhtar Did Gandhi condemn ONLY one side of the Calcutta riots??? Were he repeatedly asked to do so? And oh, the Calcutta riots were followed by the Noakhali riots, also known as the Noakhali genocide or the Noakhali Carnage: a series of massacres, rapes, abductions and forced conversions of Hindus and looting and arson of Hindu properties, perpetrated by the Muslim community in the districts of Noakhali in the Chittagong Division of Bengal in October-November 1946. What did Gandhi do there? See a particular group’s attitude towards him: “Gandhi's stay in Noakhali was resented by the Muslim leadership. On 12 February 1947, while addressing a rally at Comilla, A. K. Fazlul Huq said that Gandhi's presence in Noakhali had harmed Islam enormously.[54] His presence had created a bitterness between the Hindus and the Muslims.[54] The resentment against Gandhi's stay in Noakhali grew day by day. Towards the end of February 1947 it became vulgar. Gandhi's route was deliberately dirtied everyday and Muslims began to boycott his meetings.[54] Gandhi had brought a goat from India, which he kept with him in Noakhali; local Muslims stole the goat and ate it.”

[@ainshin8667]

+Luv Suneja Extremists will not understand what “balance” means. They won’t understand that more violence will erupt if only one side of the violence is condemned, especially in a situation where there is no rule of law. They will just want to hear what they want, only for their people, and will not have a balanced view.

[@MWAPK]

+Ain Shin Here is the point, Condemning was not Gandhi did, he went in Calcutta and stayed there, and asked everyone to be brother again, this is what this lady is missing regarding what happened in 1946, was returned by Hindus of Calcutta many times over, in 1947. This is about what leaders do. and this lady is sitting on her a$$ and doing nothing, even people listen to her.

[@ainshin8667]

+Waseem Akhtar So, has your point changed from “taking a stand selectively for Muslims” (i.e. condemning according to Husein in this interview) to “asking everyone (both sides of the violence) to be brothers again”? OR has it just been self-contradictory from the beginning? If you think Suu Kyi has done nothing, just google how she has brought a change from dictatorship to democracy for her WHOLE country (I’m sorry it’s not selectively for Muslims). It’s just that it took her nearly 30 years to do so. I’m not surprised Muslims are calling Suu Kyi names as a Calcutta Muslim leader called even Gandhi “that old fraud” :)

[@simbangkwang6650]

The Myammar government had clearly committed actrocities in their acts on the Rohingya people. Ethnic cleansing does not even begin to describe the horrors inflicted on fellow human beings.

Instead the problems should be solved by the military government to bring laws and order to the country irregardless of Muslims or Buddhist. All trouble makers should be brought to justice 。Sui kyi is a very wise political leader. I think just give her some time she definitely can solve the problem. In the meantime, please no foreign intervention in Burma's domestic affairs.

This is genuine proof that what you think is a "great" and "good" leader cannot be universal. All is always based on context.

Every religions, including budhists and monks suffer under military dictatorship. Nothing is new. That’s why I know Aung San Sukyi has nothing to do with the killing, she is just powerless to defend anyone, even she has been jailed for over a decade. She always tell her supporters to not fight back with violence. She doesnt believe in violence. Her father was assassinated by the military officials😪 yes, it’s not “ethnic cleansing”. It’s terrorism. Not just one ethic is being killed, EVERY ETHNICS in the country suffer. We only have hope in her. She is still alive today because all people are standing beside her and the military leaders are scared that if they kill her the people will fight back. Now we are only doing peaceful protest. If she dies, ever civilians, every ethnic armies will attack the military and that’s why they still keep her alive. We don’t want to fight back with violence, because the rest of the world will say its civil war. We want the world to stand with us to fight these military dictatorship so that no more innocent lives are lost, not just Rohingyas.

According to what Buddha Gautama taught his followers years ago, we are living in the third era also known as "Age of Dharma Decline". It means Buddhist followers and Buddhist monks forget or ignore a lot of Buddha's preaching, and they commit what their master told them to avoid. The Rohingya's incident is a good example for this period. Real Buddhist cannot even kill a tiny ant, but what these monks doing is against their belief. I think this incident is more political than religious because Rohingya people are miserable rather than dangerous to Myanmar. These monks may want to revenge to what Timur and Tamerlane did with Buddhists in north India in 1300s.

Like I read it somewhere, tragic ridden Myanmar has been suffering for centuries; first under British Colonialism, when the nation was placed inside Greater India, thus around 8 millions immigrants moved into small homogeneous country in long Colonial era; secondly through boycotted by the West, as impoverished Myanmar turned to Socialism for a relief. In fact, Myanmar has a sad saying that goes 'A poor young girl got raped and got hurt twice', referring to their nation's double tragedies. Present ongoing ethnic crisis in Myanmar is a product of British Colonialism, when the nation was placed inside Greater India, thus several millions immigrants poured into small homogeneous country in long Colonial era, including those from populous but tiny Bangladesh which has a population of 180 million, that had been sending millions of illegal immigrants into Myanmar for ages that Myanmar has declared national emergency in Rakhine State ever since early 1980s, but the West & their Western news medias ignored it all, eversince Myanmar had been boycotted by the Capitalist West, when impoverished country turned to Socialism after long painful Colonial era; and as a result, hardly any one out of Myanmar knew truths. Moreover, Myanmar endured the worst immigration onslaught under long & painful Colonialism, when several million immigrants poured in, as a small homogeneous country was put inside Greater India; while neighbors such as Laos, Cambodia & Vietnam under French Colonialism had no immigration issue at all. Like I said, there's hardly any Muslim, Hindu or Christian in Myanmar up until Colonialism. More at, blog.chinadaily.com.cn/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=742201

Here's the issue; why on earth is some of these out crying Muslim nations, especially those wealthy Arab Muslim nations in Arabian Peninsula not taking in some of these Muslims from Burma since a good many of them, Muslims in South Asia are ethnically, culturally and religiously similar to general population in Arabian Peninsula; thus easier for them Muslims to assimilate into mainstream population. The hidden truth is that here's hardly any Muslim, Hindu or Christian in Burma up until notorious Anglo British Colonialism.

You have to know that there are 135 ethnic groups in Myanmar. Killing is never new in Myanmar but to the world, only when Rohingyas are attacked people raise their voice, as if the rest of ethnicity dont exist. We exist too... 😪 Every ethnic suffers under military dictatorship, not just Rohingya people. I am a Christian in Chin State, Myanmar. Every religions, including budhists and monks suffer under military dictatorship. Nothing is new. I am a Burmese citizen and I know wat’s inside my country. That’s why I know Aung San Sukyi has nothing to do with the killing, she is just powerless to defend anyone, even she has been jailed for over a decade. She always tell her supporters to not fight back with violence. She doesnt believe in violence. Her father was assassinated by the military officials😪 and yes, it’s not “ethnic cleansing”. It’s terrorism. Not just one ethic is being killed, EVERY ETHNICS in the country suffer. We only have hope in her. She is still alive today because all people are standing beside her and the military leaders are scared that if they kill her the people will fight back. Now we are only doing peaceful protest. If she dies, ever civilians, every ethnic armies will attack the military and that’s why they still keep her alive. We don’t want to fight back with violence, because the rest of the world will say its civil war. We want the world to stand with us to fight these military dictatorship so that no more innocent lives are lost.

@John Lakatos For those of you who are saying She deserves this because of what happened to the Rohingya people. You have no idea what you're talking about. Myanmar was under an authoritarian rule of the Junta for many years and she fought for that. She has won every election in a landslide but they refused to give up power until 2015 due to intense international pressure. When she finally took office, the country was doing much better. However, her government still had to follow the rigged constitution that the Junta has written before she was in Office. She has no power or authority over the military. The same generals who ruled Myanmar for many years with an iron fist still controls the military. Because they fear that her power pogressing rapidly, they created a plan to defame her. This is where the Rohingya comes in. The stirred conflicts between the Rohingya people and the people of Myanmar and used this as an excuse for mass genocide. But because the rest of the world thinks that she is in charge of the entire country, they believe she is responsible, but in reality it is the military. Everyone in Burma knows this but yet none if the journalists seem to get this story right. Also she can't stop the military from doing as they please since she has no control over it under the constitution. This coup shows that clearly that she has no power in the military.She was a scapegoat of Rohingya and Myanmar military 's problem because Myanmar military wanted to defame her and wanted to take her down to the lowest place. Myanmar military created disgusting issues including Rohingya's case on purpose to get back their authority.

In fact, 2010 Indian census registry stated there's over 10 million Muslims and 4 million illegal immigrants from Bangladesh in Assam State in North East. Nepal & North East India used to be a land of Chinese looking Asiatic indigenous Native people, but now they have became minority on their own beloved motherland as South Asians (Indians & Bangladeshis) took over. Besides, Muslims in South Asia are ethnically, culturally and religiously more akin to those general population in Arabian Peninsula; countries such as Yemen, Saudi, United Arab Emirates, Omen, Qatar, etc. Just saying.
