The conditions of the Muslims all over the world where they are in minority are worse. These countries are continually denying the basic human rights which are against all the national and international laws. Burma is one of the countries where the conditions of Muslims population are the worst in the world. Even the animals are treated far better than the Muslim minority community. The homes are burned, the people are burned alive, women are raped and the small children are cut into pieces by the state military. The dictatorship in Burma has crippled the country for the last fifty years. The authorities in the Burma have denied accepting the Rohingya Muslims. They have demanded from the UN mission to take these minorities out of their country as they want to clean the state of these minorities.
As the situation is very critical the people have to carry weapons in order to protect them from the military action. This has made the situation very dangerous. Police and military are deployed in almost all the cities but the situation is becoming more and worse. The reason of this unrest was the rape of the Buddhist women. Believing that it was done by the Muslims the Buddhist mob torched the Muslims homes and killed more than 25000 people in just a few weeks. The Buddhist state has never accepted the Muslims minority and the violence here continues for many years. The state of Rakhine was named after the strong Buddhist group by ignoring the fact that this state has the Muslim majority population. The Rohingya people are also inhabitants of this region. These people are the most ignored and persecuted minorities in the world as stated by the United Nations. The Burma state treats the Rohingya as the foreigners and is expelled from the nation’s ethnic groups. For most of the Burma people the Rohingya is considered as the illegal immigrants who should be expelled from Burma to other countries.
The Buddhist monks believe that the unrest in the Rakhine states because of the terrorist activities of the Rohingya Muslims. They say that these illegal immigrants should be banned by the countries that are supporting their flow to Burma. The international community has not taken any strict action to tackle this problem. The reason of this problem is that the Burma authorities have banned the aid workers and the journalists and they are not allowing anyone to have access to the reality. The OIC meeting held in Makkah on 14th August 2012 is expected to take necessary actions to solve this problem. The King Abullah bin Abdul Aziz has announced aid money of $50 million to minimize the sufferings of the Rohingya Muslims which is a good step. Hope the situation comes under control and the Muslims are granted their due rights.
