Tuesday's unrest in Lashio was sparked by a quarrel between two people, named by state media as Aye Aye Win, 24, a Buddhist woman who sold petrol, and Ne Win, a Muslim man aged 48.
MRTV television said Ne Win poured petrol over Aye Aye Win and set her on fire. She was in hospital, it said.
After police detained Ne Win, Buddhists surrounded the police station and demanded he be handed over. When they refused, the crowd went on the rampage, attacking Myoma Mosque near Lashio market, residents said.

Now some prominent Buddhists will be denied visas if they try to visit the U.S. (Example: Backlash at Muslim terrorism in Gujarat state in India resulted in U.S. visa denial to the state’s chief minister Modi).

If the 969 movement spreads to India (and China), things could get messy. Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.

I remember the television show ‘Kung Fu’ when I was a kid. The character would always try to avoid fighting, and then some bad guy would force him into it. Then the bad guy would get his butt kicked. “Ah Grasshopper.” Anyway this kinda reminds me of that in a way. The Buddhist have had enough, and now are going to kick some butt.

For those who still aren’t sure what these gentle buddhists are trying to keep out of their country, go to google images, disable safesearch, and type in “muslim atrocities thailand”. I give you exhibit “A”.

"...was sparked by a quarrel between two people, ...Aye Aye Win, 24, ...and Ne Win, a Muslim man aged 48. [who] poured petrol over Aye Aye Win and set her on fire."
That's not a "quarrel", it's attempted murder and/or a terrorist act.Imagine a 48-year-old man attacking a 24-year-old woman to begin with, I don't care what rock either of them worship. Disgusting. He probably hit on her and she said no; or else he tried to get the gas without paying for it and she demanded payment. Evil scumbag.

By early evening, Muslims shops and homes were still burning in one quarter of Lashio. There was no sign of Muslim residents.I love a happy ending.
