“Last year, Myanmar expelled about 700,000 Muslims to Bangladesh. Look for Sir Lanka and Thailand to do something similar.”
I love it too! None of that “sexual emergency” nonsense that is going on in Europe where women are getting raped left and right. In Myanmar if a muslim man so much as looks at a Buddhist woman the wrong way the men will burn down an entire Muslim city block! They don’t play around.
Their apparent aim was to separate Rakhine from Myanmar, so that it could be gobbled up by Muslim Bangladesh (along with the rights to the offshore oil and gas discoveries). Myanmar's military decided that this was NOT going to happen.
A similar dynamic exists in Thailand's heavily-Muslim southern provinces, where there are big offshore oil and gas deposits.
In Sri Lanka, there appears to be a trend of Tamil Hindus converting to Islam, which is at around 10% of the population, the point where Muslims really start causing trouble.
