The New York Times, like all the establishment media, takes the jihadis’ side, portraying the conflict in Myanmar as “Buddhist terrorists” raging out of control. And so here the Times quotes the imam Nazir Hossain: “As imam, I encouraged them never to step back from their mission. I told them that if they did not fight to the death, the military would come and kill their families, their women and their children.”
However, as the case also with Israel and the “Palestinians,” if the Rohingya Muslims didn’t attack the Buddhists and boast of imminent conquest, they would be left alone. The jihad imperative, once again, is what has created this conflict.
“Rohingya Militants Vow to Fight Myanmar Despite Disastrous Cost,” by Hannah Beech, New York Times, September 17, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
BALUKHALI, Bangladesh — Nazir Hossain, the imam of a village in far western Myanmar, gathered the faithful around him after evening prayers last month. In a few hours, more than a dozen Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army fighters from his village would strike a nearby police post with an assortment of handmade weapons.
The men needed their cleric’s blessing.
“As imam, I encouraged them never to step back from their mission,” Mr. Hossain recalled of his final words to the ethnic Rohingya militants. “I told them that if they did not fight to the death, the military would come and kill their families, their women and their children.”
They fought — joining an Aug. 25 assault by thousands of the group’s fighters against Myanmar’s security forces — and the retaliation came down anyway. Since then, Myanmar’s troops and vigilante mobs have unleashed a scorched-earth operation on Rohingya populations in northern Rakhine State in Myanmar, sending hundreds of thousands fleeing their homes in a campaign that the United Nations has called ethnic cleansing.
From its start four years ago as a small-scale effort to organize a Rohingya resistance, ARSA — which is known locally as Harakah al-Yaqin, or the Faith Movement — has managed to stage two deadly attacks on Myanmar’s security forces: one last October and the other last month.
But in lashing out against the government, the militants have also made their own people a target. And they have handed Myanmar’s military an attempt at public justification by saying that it is fighting terrorism, even as it has burned down dozens of villages and killed fleeing women and children.
This radicalization of a new generation of Rohingya, a Muslim minority in a Buddhist-majority country, adds fuel to an already combustible situation in Rakhine, Myanmar’s poorest state….

Right – fighting back just radicalizes these peaceful Muslims. Actually, the real way to peace is for all the Buddhists to recite the Shehada, but I doubt that they’ll do that. Not too many snowflakes in Myanmar, even in winter.

Anyone who understands Sharia law can read between the lines. Muslims have an individual duty to associate only with other Muslims. The best way is to create enclaves which turn into no-go zones. Islam creates Sharia zones and then creates friction towards the people who refuse to leave the no-go zone. Crimes against kafirs go unpunished because no witnesses will testify. The people are left to defend themselves. Vigilantism escalates as both sides become frustrated and resentful. Islam eventually wins through superior and fiercer intimidation.

Trust the Times to twist the truth– yes, this is islam facing an ‘ethnic cleansing’, a fearful horror suffered by peaceful innocents just minding their lives, threatening/harming no one. (NYT doesn’t mention if the imam used that ‘struggle’ word in his blessing…)
The OIC, dba the UN, can depend on its biggest media voice to telegraph to the world the ‘islam as victim’ message. No one ever strikes back against oppression and subjugation by islam; the unbelievers are forever the aggressors.

The problem in Myanmar is that the Buddhists there understand very well what happened to the Buddhists of Iran, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Indonesia when confronted by Islam.
The Buddhists were exterminated in Islamic genocides and their works erased from history.
The Myanmar Buddhists are not PC Europeans. They intend to remain in their ethnic homeland and practice their culture and religion unmolested, forever. By any means necessary.
So call them names. That works in the West.

One story is that the British trucked them from what is now Bangladesh during colonial times. They did the same by trucking in Indians from the sub-continent to Kenya, Uganda, and South Africa during colonial times. The Burmese should now ask the British to truck them back out. The French did the same in Mauritius.

Ja, ja, we heard it already from the Deutsche New York Times der Nazis were just trying to protect der Deutsche Volk from der Jude just as the Rohingya Muslims are protecting the believers in the Prophet from the Myranmar Budhists.
What do you expect from a paper published by assimilated Reform Jewish German Americans who buried the Holocaust in the back pages of its newspaper during WW II?

I want to thank Jihad Watch for exposing the Rohingya situation in Myanmar. A number of years ago some magazines would have an advertisement decrying the Muslim refugee situation in Myanmar. The ad would always show a young girl standing outside a refugee camp; the ad would never show Muslim men. The truth is that Muslims are using violence to make demands on Myanmar. I hope the USA is not tricked into letting Rohingya into the USA.
