There are only 7 lac Muslims in a population of 75 million of Burma. After the take over of Government by Army in 1962, the Muslims of Burma have been treated bitterly...... The province of Burma Arakan has Muslim majority.. ... Even they are not allowed by the Police to use mobile........On 3rd June, in the capital of Burma "Rangoon" The Burma's Army and the followers of Buddhism killed 11 Muslims. A protestive movement started in a Muslim majority province "Arakan" but on the very beginning of this protest, Burma's Army killed and injured thousands of Muslim protesters. The border of province Arakan adjoins the border of Bangladesh, all the Muslims moved there for Shelter but the Indian supported and the Anti Muslim government refused to provide shelter to them. From 3rd June, up till now almost 20,000 Muslims have been killed. 500 colonies have been burnt into ashes. Thousands of youngsters are still not known where they are........
International media is silent on this unhuman behaviour, UN and OIC are also silent.......Pakistani media, which exaggerate the showbiz news, is also silent on this killing of thousands of Muslims.

The story of Rohingya Muslims: Is Middle Eastern public opinion totally schizophrenic?
No posters in the streets, no touching posts shared on social media. Why the Muslim Middle East has stopped supporting brothers and sisters in Myanmar?
In the summer of 2012, thousands of miles away from the Middle East, ethnic violence broke out in the state of Rakhine in Western Myanmar between ethnic Rakhine Buddhists and Rohingya Muslims. Over the course of almost five months, clashes were recurrent between the two groups. While the Rakhine Buddhists are recognized as citizens of Myanmar, the Rohingya Muslims are considered as “Bengali” refugees by the government and so they’re “stateless” people. This discrepancy in the legal status of both groups was reflected in the governmental bias against the Muslim minority which rendered them unprotected in face of the targeting by the Buddhist majority.
From the narrow streets of the poor neighborhoods of Cairo to the online social media outlets, pictures of slaughtered children, destroyed houses, matrices of charred bodies, and piles of naked corpses were being circulated during the episode in 2012. These were usually accompanied by statements like: “Where are you Muslims?”, “Stop the extermination of Muslims in Burma”, “Muslims are being burnt, where are you?”, “They were killed because they said Allah is our God, Sorry Burma Muslims, I didn’t know you till today. ”
Fleeing the persecution in Myanmar, around 8,000 Rohingya Muslims started a desperate journey to neighboring lands around four months ago. However, they were rejected by their three main destinations: Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia, and left to face their destiny in the middle of the sea. Unwelcomed in any of the three countries, the migrants struggled to survive on their supplies of food and water before things got tougher. According to The Independent, survivors reported that 100 people were brutally killed on one of the boats in a fight over food.
Why Burma's Rohingya Muslims are among the world's most persecuted people?
They're denied citizenship, forced into manual labour on government projects and forbidden to marry without official permission. Burma's Rohingya Muslims are often called one of the world's most persecuted people, and now they are turning to dangerous methods to change their fate.
In harrowing attempts to migrate to nearby countries such as Malaysia and Indonesia, many Rohingya ended up stuck on overcrowded boats at sea, with no country willing to grant them safe landing. Hundreds of others have died when such migrant boats capsized.
And, recently, Malaysian authorities discovered mass graves and barbed wire pens at camps abandoned by human traffickers. A similar discovery occurred in Thailand earlier this year.
Where are they from?
Many Rohingya Muslim live in western Burma, also known as Myanmar. The majority reside in the northern part of Rakhine state, which borders Bangladesh and the Bay of Bengal.
Estimates for how many Rohingya Muslims live there vary, but most hover between one million and 1.5 million. Another several hundred thousand have fled Burma in favour of Bangladesh, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Thailand or Malaysia.
What kind of persecution do they face?
In Burma, Rohingya Muslims are not considered citizens. The country's 1982 Citizenship Act does not recognize them as one of the country's national races.
"In the Burma, the children of Muslims are burnt alive, still the Muslims are considered terrorists. There is no peaceful religion then ISLAM"
We request the UN to take steps against this violence to follow their own Charter Of Peace.
