This is why Burma is incurring the wrath of the rest of the World by expelling the Rohingya Muslims. Most of them are not violent but, like other Muslim groups worldwide, you never really know. What you do know is that Muslims demand societal control wherever they are.
Plus the Muslims were getting to be 43% of the population of the coastal state of Rakhine. They could see the Muslims rebelling, declaring independence, and then declaring ownership of the offshore oil and gas deposits. And the Burmans were NOT going to let that happen.
