“When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks…” (Qur’an 47:4)
“Myanmar Junta Police Arrest Muslim Teen After Civil Servant’s Murder,” The Irrawaddy, December 23, 2021 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Following the killing of a General Administration Department clerk at Maungdaw Township in northern Rakhine State, a Muslim teenager has been arrested with evidence, according to U Hla Thein, the regime’s Rakhine State Administration Council spokesman.
“We arrested a Muslim teenager from Maungdaw town. He is 14. We found the victim’s phone and a bloodstained cloth from him. He broke the SIM card from the victim’s phone. We believe his two older brothers were also involved in the murder. The investigation is ongoing,” U Hla Thein, who is also the state’s junta-appointed advocate general, told The Irrawaddy….
Ko Hsan Htay Naing, 26, was found dead with his throat slit at Maungdaw’s jetty on Thursday.
Maungdaw was one of the flashpoints of communal violence between Buddhist Rakhine and Muslim communities since 2012 and the murder prompted fears of further violence.
On Tuesday, harvested rice was set on fire in paddy fields in Kan Nwar, a Muslim village in Buthidaung Township, Maungdaw District….

Myanmar: Muslim teen slits the throat of Buddhist civil servant

*Horrifying*. And yet Burma is regularly castigated for considering Muslims a threat,

I have my issues with Myanmar’s unfree authorities, but one would hope that this murder would be illegal under *any* administration Burma might have, Junta or otherwise. He might not even be arrested under Islam, though.

I thought that Myanmar, or Burma, had thrown out its Muslims a few years back. I recall the controversy and the criticism Burma faced for throwing out the Muslims, though I thought that they had had to put up with too much of the usual crime and terrorism from their Muslims and had decided that they had enough of it.

Not all of them, Tim. Just some of the Royhingya Muslims that invaded recently from Bangladesh. But there are still Muslims in the country–they make up just a bit less than 5% of the population there.
tim gallagher says
Thanks for the information, gravenimage. I didn’t realise that it was only a certain part of the Muslims that they’d thrown out. I knew it was the Rohingyas, but I thought they must have been all the Muslims. 5% is a large number of Muslims. I agree with you about the military junta taking over Burma. Not a good thing at all, but I was not at all outraged when they threw the Rohingyas out although most of the commentariat out here in Australia did seem to think it was terrible.
gravenimage says
Agreed, Tim.
Infidel says
Note that the Rohingya muslims that Burma kicked out have proven to be a criminal problem wherever they went – be it Bangladesh, India or the Gulf states. One would think that refugees, or asylum seekers, which the Rohingyas seemed to be, would be pretty grateful to the first country that gave them refuge. Instead, they’ve become a jihadist operation against all their host countries: even Bangladesh has had problems w/ them, despite giving them a fully furnished island on the Bay of Bengal
After all that, not only do I have no sympathy for the Rohingyas, I condemn anybody who expresses sympathy for them. In India, their name is synonymous w/ criminal jihad activity: no one thinks ‘innocent muslim refugee’ when they hear the term ‘Rohingya’. The colonial British definition of ‘Rohingya’ was ‘Bengali muslim from Chittagong’. The term has nothing to do w/ Burma
Just like the Brits shipped people from India to all sorts of places in the world – Mauritius, Fiji, West Indies and so on, they transported Rohingyas to Burma to work for them. After independence, Burma inherited the problem, as the Rohingyas refused to assimilate w/ the Burmese or co-exist peacefully w/ the local Buddhist population, the way other Indian expats did in other countries. That’s why every Burmese government – whether it was the former junta, the current junta, the democratic government of Ahn San Syu Ki or her democratic opponent Dr Thet Thet – every one of them has dismissed the idea of accepting the Rohingyas
Note that all Burmese muslims are Rohingyas: not all of them had left Burma. Some are left there, like the specimen who slit the throat of a Buddhist bureaucrat

Thanks for that information, Infidel. You certainly have a great depth of knowledge. So the Rohingyas certainly sound like a particularly nasty bunch of people although, of course, Muslims always cause plenty of trouble wherever they go. I was wondering why the Muslims were in Burma and you have also explained how the Indians came to be in Fiji. Of course, being so close to Australia, many Indians from Fiji do come to Australia along with many Indians from India in recent times. I’m pretty sure that they are one of the main groups of people, percentage wise, among migrants to Australia these days. I was just watching a bit of the cricket between England and Australia but it is too one sided to be interesting. England have been pretty weak so far in this Ashes series. I don’t like watching any one sided sporting contests.
Infidel says
I was a tad surprised to read that. I was under the impression that this was a much improved England side – probably the best in decades, whereas it’s Australia that’s still trying to discover its best 11. I agree that one sided contests ain’t fun. Hopefully there’s less of the woke antics on the field and more focus on the cricket
tim gallagher says
Infidel, I didn’t know much about how the English cricket team had been playing lately, but I was hoping that they would be pretty good. They have been hopeless. It has been pretty embarrassing. I would have liked them to go well and for the test matches to be reasonably competitive. Yesterday, their bowlers went well and it looked like there was bit of a fightback on, but then their batsmen came in near the end of the day’s play and they ended up being 4 wickets down for 31 runs. The Ashes will be over today with Australia winning 3-0. Very disappointing. It has not been worth watching because of how one sided it has been. I feel sorry for England because it has been humiliating for them.

It is all part of Islamophobia. The Muslim is unfairly accused for doing something sanctioned by his religion. And of course they should respect his religion, even if they disagree with it.

Sarcasm?
DavidR says
Islam is the shallowest religion.
Infidel says
It’s not a religion. It’s a geopolitical cult – like a cross b/w Communism and Branch Davidian
Michael Copeland says
“A permanent war institution” against kafirs is how Al Azhar in Cairo define jihad.
This is the evidence of Nonie ‘Darwish.
Al Azhar is the highest authority in Sunni Islam.
Tim Heekin says
Unfortunately Islam is a religion. Look up the word religion in any dictionary and Islam fits. The legal definition is simply too broad.
However, as Rebecca Bynum has noted, Islam is the platypus of religions. This presents an interesting possibility regarding the 1st Amendment. The 1st Amendment allows for the freedom or speech and association but these freedoms come with their own amendments. One cannot yell “fire” in a crowded theater and if you associate with the Purple Gang, you have a problem. The question is should ones religion be permitted to state “Allah is Greatest” or associate with a religion that subscribes to same?
OLD GUY says
Muslims are such wonderful people. Can’t wait for them to become Biden’s next door neighbors. Every community across America should pay for the move of muslim migrants to Delaware.

Infidel- Speaking of cricket, that’s all you hear when atrocities like this happen throughout the world- crickets.
