**** Evidence of Burma ethnic cleansing of Rohingyas continues to mount

According to the International Organization for Migration, around
21,000 ethnic Rohingyas from Myanmar (Burma) have fled across the
border from Rakhine state to Bangladesh to escape violence by Burma's
army.

As we've been reporting,
Human
Rights Watch has posted satellite images that show that villages of
Rohingya Muslims are being systematically burned down. Some 30,000
Rohingyas have been displaced. Myanmar officials continue to make the
laughable claims that the Rohingyas are burning down their own homes
to embarrass the government. Burma's government is refusing to allow
journalists into the region where the violence is taking place, but
the BBC World News has broadcast footage of an undercover road trip
through the region, including interviews who says that their husbands
were burnt and killed by soldiers, and that they were repeatedly raped
by soldiers.

The root of the violence is xenophobic attacks by Buddhists led by
Buddhist monk Ashin Wirathu and his "969 movement," against the
Rohingya Muslims, including rapes, torture and other atrocities
committed by Buddhists, targeting the Rohingyas. The Rohingyas have a
darker skin than Burmese, and they speak a Bengali dialect. They are,
for all practical purposes, a stateless ethnic group, living on the
Bangladesh-Burma border for generations, but rejected by both
countries. In fact, Burma refuses to identify the Rohingya as a
unique ethnic group, preferring to call them Bengali, and referring to
them as illegal immigrants from Bangladesh. In the last few years,
large mobs of Buddhists have massacred entire neighborhoods of Muslims
in various regions of the country, mutilating, raping and killing
hundreds, and displacing thousands from their homes.

Nobel Peace Prize winner and democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi has been
praised in the past for her support of human rights, but she is losing
her luster as an international superstar as she is being increasingly
condemned for refusing to speak out to condemn the current Buddhist
violence against the Rohingyas. Under international pressure, Suu Kyi
has formed a special committee to investigate the violence, but the
committee is headed by an army general for the same army that's
committing the violence, so the investigation is not considered
credible. Deutsche Welle and AFP and Bangkok Post

**** Burma's Rohingya attacks generate calls for military action in Malaysia

It's a rule of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) that
member states are forbidden from interfering in each other's internal
affair.

So Malaysia's prime minister Najib Razak violated that rule on Sunday,
when he spoke to thousands at a pro-Rohingya rally in Kuala Lumpur.
He questioned Aung San Suu Kyi's Nobel Prize, given her inaction, and
said to thousands of Malaysians at the rally:

> [indent]<QUOTE>"The world cannot sit by and watch genocide taking
> place. The world cannot just say 'look, it is not our problem'. It
> is our problem."<END QUOTE>
[/indent]

Buddhist monks in Myanmar, from the Nationalist Monk Association, led
a protest of about 150 people in Yangon, holding banners and chanting.
An official in Myanmar said that Najib is wrong:

> [indent]<QUOTE>"What he said in Malaysia is not true. We’re trying
> to solve (this) with the international supporters. But it’s our
> choice, no other country can make (a) decision about our
> country."<END QUOTE>
[/indent]

He accused Najib of stoking religious extremism in order to score
political points in Malaysia.

In Malaysia, hundreds of people from the hardline Islamist group
Hizbut Tahrir, marched to the Defense Ministry, and demanded that
Malaysia's army conduct a jihad against Burma. According to the
group's statement:

> [indent]<QUOTE>There is no other solution to save Rohingyan Muslims
> except mobilizing the army to Myanmar, because the reality is the
> Arakan [Rakhine State] Muslims are being pummeled by Myanmar’s
> infidel army.
>
> “The Armed Forces is obliged to help the Rohingyan Muslim by
> accepting the Allah’s call for jihad at the kafir harbi [infidels]
> country."<END QUOTE>

**** Jihadists become radicalized by the Rohingya slaughter

The Somali-born student who launched a car-and-knife attack at Ohio
State University this week reportedly protested on his Facebook page
about the killing of minority Muslims in Myanmar. And last weekend,
Indonesian authorities arrested two militants who were allegedly
planning to attack the Myanmar Embassy in Jakarta.

Online extremists in Indonesia have expressed their desire to mount
“jihad” on behalf of the Rohingya, with some supporters hoping that
the ‘mujahidin’ will be able to smuggle into Myanmar. The Rohingya
crisis has become a rallying cry for jihad. Some social media users
in Indonesia have gone to the extent of declaring their readiness to
be suicide bombers for the sake of the Rohingya. The Rohingya issue is
fast developing into a security threat that would have an adverse
impact on peace in the region. VOA and
