A Buddhist Monk was killed during a violent outbreak in Meiktila, Burma. The Monk's death is a result of rising tension of Muslims in Burma. Most of the other violence in Burma was against Muslims. Over 12,000 Muslims have been displaced from their homes as a result of ongoing clashes beginning in March. The Monk was knocked off of his motorbike, beaten and killed. Although the six murderers are Muslim, there are video tapes clearly showing men and monks destroying the homes of many Muslims. This is the worst ethnic violence since last year in Rakhine. I hope that these issues will be resolved quickly and peacefully.

I wrote a post a few weeks ago about a Buddhist monk attacking a muslim. Looks like the Muslims there have had enough.
ReplyDeleteIt is very sad how so many people are so intolerant of other people's religion, we need to all respect everyone's different beliefs
