en-shaedn:somedayimgonna:the-kangaroos-nest:puertohurraco:You gotta be a really annoying man to piss off a Buddhist monkI love this, though hate the situation that has forced this reactionWisdomHey guys, this is Militant Buddhist Ashin Wirathu, the head of the nationalistic 969 movement in Burma. He and his movement (only nominally Buddhist) have incited violence against the Rohingya, a predominantly Muslim ethnic minority who have historically faced persecution at the hands of the Buddhist majority people. They’re operating through the vehicle of the Rakhine, another minority ethnic group (though predominantly Buddhist). Hundreds of thousands of Rohingya have been displaced since the initial prolonged outbursts of violence in 2012, and there is a more recent refugee crisis; the Rohingya are fleeing Burma by the thousands to escape restrictions on travel, access to higher education, forced labor, and mandatory refugee status. These are all government restrictions; the Burmese government, beyond the active restrictions, is turning a blind eye to the violence of this man’s followers, because it serves their economic and social interests to do so.This particular Buddhist monk dances on the edge of terrorism. He’s probably not the one you want to be listening to.Any person who insults a group so widely like barbarians are bound to be a bit off. -- source link
