She said that “there were many fake news photographs circulating which were ‘simply the tip of a huge iceberg of misinformation calculated to create a lot of problems between different communities and with the aim of promoting the interest of the terrorists.'”
And even the relentlessly pro-jihad BBC admits that “many – but not all – of the pictures come from other crises around the world, with one tweeted by Turkey’s Deputy Prime Minister Mehmet Simsek dating back to the Rwandan genocide in 1994.”
Also, given the large-scale “Palestinian” industry of faking Israeli atrocities, it doesn’t strain credulity in the least that Islamic jihadis and supremacists may be fabricating atrocities against the Rohingya in order to sway public opinion. Muhammad said, “War is deceit.”
“Rohingya crisis: Suu Kyi says ‘fake news helping terrorists,'” BBC, September 6, 2017:
Myanmar’s de-facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi has claimed that the crisis in Rakhine state is being distorted by a “huge iceberg of misinformation”.
In her first comments on the latest Rohingya crisis, she said tensions were being fanned by fake news promoting the interests of terrorists.
Ms Suu Kyi made the comments in a phone call with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, her office said.
More than 123,000 Rohingya have fled Myanmar for Bangladesh in two weeks.
The latest outbreak of violence has sent waves of refugees fleeing the country, which is also called Burma.
What has Suu Kyi said?The latest government statement said Ms Suu Kyi told Mr Erdogan that her government had “already started defending all the people in Rakhine in the best way possible”.
Ms Suu Kyi is quoted as saying: “We know very well, more than most, what it means to be deprived of human rights and democratic protection.
“So we make sure that all the people in our country are entitled to protection of their rights as well as, the right to, and not just political but social and humanitarian defence.”
The statement also said there were many fake news photographs circulating which were “simply the tip of a huge iceberg of misinformation calculated to create a lot of problems between different communities and with the aim of promoting the interest of the terrorists”.
Is it ‘fake news’?There has certainly been a large amount of “fake news” surrounding recent events.
By 5 September there had been 1.2 million tweets talking about the crisis since refugees began flooding over the border, and many contain pictures purportedly showing a glimpse of the violence which has engulfed the region.
The problem is, according to the BBC’s south-east Asia correspondent Jonathan Head, “much of it is wrong”. A closer look reveals many – but not all – of the pictures come from other crises around the world, with one tweeted by Turkey’s Deputy Prime Minister Mehmet Simsek dating back to the Rwandan genocide in 1994.
But the BBC Burmese Service’s Tin Htar Swe said much of the blame for Ms Suu Kyi’s “iceberg” could be laid at the government’s door.
“The fake news is generated because the government is not allowing media access to the troubled areas,” she said. What’s more, she added, “if they allowed the UN or human rights bodies to go to the place to find out what is happening then this misinformation is not going to take place”.
Where are the refugees?As a result, all people outside the affected areas have to rely on is the conflicting accounts of the Rohingya fleeing Myanmar and the government – with the space in between ripe for “fake news”.
However, we do know the latest conflict was sparked on 25 August when Rohingya militants attacked police posts, triggering a military counter-offensive.
The military says it is fighting against Rohingya militants who are attacking civilians.
But the Rohingya families streaming north into Bangladesh have been reporting that security forces, sometimes backed by armed Buddhist civilians, burned their villages and opened fire on their inhabitants.
Their story has been contradicted by Myanmar’s Minister in charge of Border Security in Rakhine, Col Phone Tint. He told our correspondent Jonathan Head who is travelling on a government-organised visit to the border town of Maungdaw that the destruction of villages was a deliberate strategy by the militants, aimed at forcing the Muslim population to flee to neighbouring Bangladesh….

I never liked this woman I don’t trust anyone the BBC and the left loves it seems the halo has fallen from their darling. These people have no right to be in Burma they are not there by the consent of the people as far as I am concerned they should gently but firmly sent back to their place of origin. Ethnic cleansing is not nice but it works after the second world war Germans were moved back to Germany where they just blended in. Can you show me a Norman Frenchman in the UK today gone they are just blended in the same as my Viking ancestors compatible cultures blend in muslims will never assimilate only dominate that is their creed all friendship with them is an illusion.

She isn’t standing up for the mohammedans. She is quietly *refusing* to join the chorus wailing about the poor persecuted Rohingya.

Anne Smith says
Unfortunately that is no longer true of the British. These days they prefer other cultures to their own. This is what they are being taught at school and universities. Young people now sincerely believe that it is “racism” to have policies which put their own ;people before newly arrived immigrants.
Just try standing up in front of an audience and saying that the Government should allocate Council houses and preference to those who have lived in the country all their lives and paid taxes, ahead of newly arrived welfare seekersm and you will be howled down as a racist by the youngsters in the audience. I know this from experience!!!

ISLAMIC TERRORISM IN RAKHINE STATE
PLAYING MUSLIM’S VICTIMHOOD CARD AND THE BLAMING GAME (TAQYIYA) ON BUDDHISTS
It is critical that one needs to understand that Buddhists do not kill Muslims but the natives are responding to the islamic terrorists (so called rohingya) who are virtually on a ethnic cleansing mission in Rakhine State. If Buddhists were at fault, they should probably be attacking Christians too. At least some type of discrimination against Christians which is the 2nd largest religious community in Myanmar which has never happened… Christians and Hindus, the 2nd and 4th largest communities, by population, are integrating just fine…
Now the question every one of us must be asking is, why do Muslims kill Buddhists, Hindus, Christians and Jews – pretty much everywhere in the world?
ANSWER:
ISLAM IS NOT A RELIGION: Religions such as Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, etc.. have a common principle of humanity and morality (e.g. Thou shall not kill; Love thy neighbor, etc.) . On the other hand, Islam can best be described as a dictatorial theocracy for world domination by any and all means as possible (including warfare, deception, infiltration i.e. jihad) until there are no other God but Allah. IN ISLAMIC THEOCRACY, THE GREATEST CRIME IS TO BE A NON MUSLIMS (KAFIR OR INFIDEL), AND THEY (KAFIRS) MUST BE KILLED, MAIMED, RAPED AND ENSLAVED WITH IMPUNITY TO GLORIFY THEIR BLOODTHIRSTY GOD “ALLAH” (KORAN 9:5 COMMANDS “KILL THE INFIDEL WHEREVER YOU FIND THEM…). Thus, when a muslim behead or kills kafir or set off a suicide bomb, they always shout “Allah o Akbar” signifying that the muslim has sacrificed kafir(s) for the glory of Allah; very similar to what prehistoric people living under a volcano performed human sacrifices when the volcano erupts. The only difference is that muslims themselves are enslaved at all times by an imaginary angry god “Allah” of their own making. According to islamic “holy books” it is blasphemy to critically examine the theology of Islam and apostasy for a muslim to leave Islam which are both punishable by death. The only freedom of belief in Islam is the freedom to become Muslim. Thus, there is no way for a muslim to reform or assimilate and advance forward or freeing themselves towards a common humanity and morality.
People who have left Islam were Muslims for many years or decades, and their insight and warnings are particularly eye opening, frightening, insightful, and more. Ali Sina, Ayan Hirsi Ali, Hassan Mosan Yousef, Nonie Darwish, Brigitte Gabriel, Wafi Sultan, Salman Rushdie, Ibn Warraq are all highly recommend – read their books, watch their youtube videos, see their websites…..

are you from Myanmar?
If you are – then as fast as you can, get hold of Sam Solomon’s book “Al-Hijra: The Islamic Doctrine of Immigration”.
Get three copies. Send one to… Aung San Suu Kyi, as she reads English. It will equip her to speak with ice-cold rational knowledge about how Muslims use immigration – demographics – and subversion to undermine and destroy targeted ‘host’ societies. The ‘rohingya’ are following the classic mohammedan gameplan. That book would show her how it works.
If your head of military and your head of state reads/ speaks English or has someone who does – send them the second and the third copies.
Also: where can people find the testimony of the *non-Muslim* ordinary inhabitants of Arakan / Rakhine, who have suffered Muslim bad behaviour and aggression, for *decades*? Who are *also* fleeing, right now?

Actually, you should preemptively go after the “liberal allies.” Separate them from their power so that resisting the hijra is much easier.

Jihad denial … the denial of the 270 million dead bodies left by jihad … is the most egregious form of intellectual dishonesty.
If journalists lie about the 270 million victims of jihad and the great danger of jihad, they will lie about ANYTHING.
No journalist who lies about jihad is a dependable source of news.
Jim Jatras says
My two cents. Excerpts:
“Whenever western governments and mainstream media start shedding crocodile tears over a minority community of «peaceful Muslims»© being persecuted by some nasty non-Muslim government somewhere, with demands that the «international community» do something about it, it should be treated with a big, fat dollop of skepticism. [ . . . ]
“If all this sounds familiar, it is. Almost word-for-word the foregoing could describe the western official and media narrative of the Serbian province of Kosovo and Metohija in the late 1990s. Just replace «Rohingya Muslims» with «Albanian Muslims», «Rakhine» with «Serb», «Theravada Buddhist» with «Orthodox Christian». [ . . . ]
“It pleases western elites’ friends in Riyadh, Ankara, Islamabad, etc., to see effete post-Christians take the Muslim side in a way none of them would ever stick up for Christians. How nice to see how weak, corrupt, and cowardly the unbelievers are! (How many protests did we hear from our Saudi, Turkish, Pakistani, and other supposed friends about the suffering of Christians in Syria and Iraq at the hands of al-Qaeda and Daesh? For that matter, how much did we hear about it from western governments? When have western governments and media ever demanded that the so-called international community «do something» to save a non-Muslim population – anywhere?)
“It allows western elites to scrub away the suspicion that somewhere, somehow any hint of concern about Islamic terrorism or Muslim mass migration into Europe is evidence of «racism» and «Islamophobia». Championing persecuted Muslims like the Rohingya and Kosovo Albanians shows the west harbors no such biases.”

The Burmese have an ancient cultural memory of a Buddhist Afghanistan. They can also peer over the border into the Chittagong Hill Tracts of Bangladesh. The ethnic Tibeto-Burmese Hill Tribes have been nearly obliterated by the demographic (and violent) jihad of the Bengali Muslims. Only an idiot could fail to see the trend.
In Rakhine state, the percentage of Bengali speaking muslims is about 45%. Closer to the Bangladesh border, it’s probably closer to 85%.
It must be a pretty desperate to drive the Buddhists to violence. They know where this story ends.
The BBC and NPR coverage of this issue is infuriating.
Tjhawk says
Above should read: it must be a pretty desperate situation to drive the Buddhists to violence.
Yes, those violent Buddhists!! What a huge global problem. I’m sure all of our lives have been touched directly or indirectly by Buddhist violence.
Right wing Buddhist monks, right wing white nationalists, KKK, Nazis, Hitler, Same Same.

“They can also peer over the border into the Chittagong Hill Tracts of Bangladesh. The ethnic Tibeto-Burmese Hill Tribes have been nearly obliterated by the demographic (and violent) jihad of the Bengali Muslims. ”
Yes. And it’s not about ethnicity, it’s about *religion*, ideology. The indigenous tribes are mostly Buddhist, but also with some Hindus and yes, Christians among them. And *all* of them have been and are being destroyed by demographic jihad (punctuated by the usual Mohammedan outbursts of open violence, attacks on temples and churches, etc).
And nobody, but NOBODY utters a peep about those poor people – who are the *indigenous* people of that region.
As far as the Islamintern-dominated UN is concerned: if Muslims encounter resistance to the hijra and jihad, it’s “genocide! crime against humanity!” but if Muslims are busily wiping out a whole population of – indigenous – non-Muslims from someplace… yaaaaawn, business as usual, that’s just the way things go, who cares.
Allan Mandrowski says
Wherever there are muslims there is strife and violence amongst them and the non-muslims. Islam is the only religion that cannot coexist with others and therefore should be dealt with swiftly and efficiently. Ban them from majority non-muslim nations.

Per the BBC commentator (useful idiot, IMHO): “The fake news is generated because the government is not allowing media access to the troubled areas,” she said. What’s more, she added, “if they allowed the UN or human rights bodies to go to the place to find out what is happening then this misinformation is not going to take place”.
Dear Useful Idiot: Pleas educate us as to when and where the UN and usual MSM have gone in and NOT supported leftists, jihadists, or other terrorist groups. We learned the hard way in the US how the MSM went from being supportive of our efforts in WW2 to undermining our efforts in Viet Nam. They never have and never will give anything more than a miniscule parting comment regarding the atrocities inflicted upon anyone that dares stand up to the communists or jihadists.
We need to support Ms. Suu Kyi. She knows terrorists and tyrants when she sees them.
I am getting more and more interested in going to Burma for a vacation.
Joe says
When Muslims are involved it is always the others who commit atrocities. Interesting.

Under no circumstances should the Myanmar army allow any foreign entities into this region. They know and we know that they will not get truthful reporting. The army need to clear the region (with a minimum of loss of life), once and for all, and seal the border. End of story.

The BBC gave her a terrible interview some time ago with a Muslim interviewer, the aggressive and unpleasant Mischal Husain, who practically accused her of ethnic cleansing of the Rohingya without any explanation of why the Rohingya had arrived in Burma or what they were doing there.
I believe Ang San Sui Ky was very upset by this and by the fact she was interviewed by a patently prejudiced Muslim interviewer.
Not the first time the distinctly arrogant Husain has upset someone.
nicu says
Why the left wing media don’t write about Muslim violence in Thailand , India , Philippines etc ?
I am so sick of Muslim aggressors playing the victims card !

Matthieu Baudin says
Aung San Suu Kyi is a capable leader with an unenviable task of negotiating a transition from a military dominated economy to a more open society. Burma is lucky to now have her at the helm and any judgement from outsiders concerning human rights should focus more broadly across the entire country and look at the security of the array of minority and tribal groups that have struggled in the past. There is a very hot Jihad raging in the country on the western border region and it should not be served up in the media in lazy victimhood style as if the crisis is all about intolerance and authoritarianism.
dumbledoresarmy says
*I* would send her a copy of ex-Muslim Sam Solomon’s book “Al-Hijra: The Islamic Doctrine of immigration” so she can see the gameplan the mohammedans have been folllowing to the letter.
Combined with Raymond Ibrahim’s series of excellent articles on Mohammedan deception – e.g “How Taqiyya Alters Islam’s Rules of War”. Armed with that, she should be able to see through what the mohammedans and their cheer squads among the dhimmified world media are doing. I’d *also* advise her to have a long, quiet conversation with PM Modi of India – since the situation in Kashmir is really rather similar – and … with Israel, where the so-called ‘Palestinians’, an invented nation fabricated for war purposes out of the general ruck of local Arab Muslims, have been used as a weapon against Israel for *decades*… in *precisely* the same way as the so-called ‘Rohingya’, created out of the general ruck of Bengali Muslims, are now weaponised against Myanmar.
Then she’d see the *pattern*, eerily similar, in widely-separated regions of the earth, widely different ethno-cultural groups, BUT.. with ISLAM *the* single and decisive common factor.
