Don't you know that their Armed Forces have been taken over by a Muslim general not too long ago?

People seem to be confusing Burma and Thailand - they're different countries.

The Burmese government is a military junta of socialists including a few nutballs, backed by China.

There have been a variety of very bloody wars that you never hear about going on with various non-ethnic Burmese groups that live on the edges of Burma, most prominently the Karen, who are Christians.

The Burmese government persecutes the Muslim minority in Burma as well as the Christians.
