Over the last couple of years we have seen an increase in whinging and hand-wringing from various quarters about the ‘plight’ of the Rohingya Muslims of Myanmar. Media organisations like the Guardian and the BBC put out heart-rending tales of these poor innocent Muslim refugees sent packing from Myanmar by the cruel and heartless Buddhists. Publicly funded Islamic grievance mongers like the Tell Mama organisation wept public social media tears about what they and those like them were calling a ‘genocide’ against the Rohingya. ‘Oh the humanity’ these groups and media outlets screamed over tales of cruelty and dispossession allegedly by Buddhists as they turned on the tears for the Rohingya.

But, it seems that the Islamic grievance mongers and the media types may be wrong. Stories are starting to be confirmed now about gross human rights abuses being carried out not against the Rohingya, but by them. There have been a number of tales coming out of Myanmar over the last few years about misbehaviour by the Rohingya, some of these tales have involved Muslim Rohinghya targetting Buddhists for violence, crime and sex attacks. These Rohingya, who are not citizens of Myanmar but who have treated the border between Myanmar and Bangladesh like a sieve and who orignally hail from Bangladesh, have worn out their welcome with the Myanmar Buddhists. Reading and hearing the stories, not all confirmed I need to add, about atrocities committed by Muslim Rohingya against Buddhists in Myanmar made me realise that we were not told the whole story by either the media or the various publicly funded Islamic grievance mongers.

This latest tale, which appears to have been confirmed by the NGO Amnesty International, shows the Rohingya carrying out the sort of violence that has got them justifiably hated and despised by some citizens of Myanmar. According to a report on Sky News that quotes from the Amnesty International report, Rohingya were responsible for at least one massacre of Hindus in Myanmar’s Rakine province.

Sky News said:

Rohingya insurgents carried out at least one brutal massacre in Rakhine state, the organisation says.

The Rohingya are an ethnic group, the majority of whom are Muslim, who have lived for centuries in the mainly Buddhist country of Myanmar, also known as Burma.

Minority Hindus also live alongside them.

I doubt this is the only killing that these Rohingya are involved in. I would not be at all surprised to find out that Amnesty is only scratching the surface when it comes to Islam-inspired violence coming from the Rohingya. The claim that Sky make that the Rohingya had ‘lived for centuries’ in Myanmar will of course be challenged by the government in Rangoon as the Myanmar government do not see the Rohingya as a recognised minority in the country although there are other Muslims who are treated as citizens. The Rohingya do not it seems go out of their way to make themselves liked and the Rohingya have brought with them the sort of terror attacks that Islam has brought to a variety of other nations in the world. Although without doubt the Myanmar military has behaved quite brutally towards the Rohingya, it could also be said that they may have been reacting to a situation created in part by increasing Islamic aggression coming from the Rohingya.

Although minority Hindus do indeed live alongside the Rohingya, that does not mean that they live in any sort of state of safety and no doubt they suffer from the sort of Islamic violence that is meted out to Hindus whenever Islam rules or is in the majority. I’m not at all surprised to find out that some Myanmar Hindus support the military actions of the Myanmar military as dealing with an Islamic threat would probably make Hindus feel safer and live more safely.

For several years now we have all been sold a lie. The lie is that the Rohingya are pristine victims deserving of help and how the Myanmar government are deserving of utter condemnation. This is plainly not the truth of the situation. Although I concede that there have been human rights abuses by the military, that fact should not avert our eyes from the fact that Rohingya have many violent scummers in their ranks. These violent Muslims are hurting other Myanmar residents and that it is the behaviour of the Rohingya that has invited a violent response from the military.

The lie about the ‘poor little Rohingya’ is not only a gross one, but is also an expensive one. Britain for example is paying £70M in aid to assist those displaced by the actions taken by the Myanmar military against the Muslim extremists that live and hide among the Rohingya. This money is being wasted on people who do not deserve it and whose community has fostered the sort of violent extremists that created the alleged Rohingya expulsion crisis in the first place. This money could have been better spent elsewhere.

This is yet another case where some Islam related pet project of the left wing media and the establishment, ends up being exposed as having a rotten core. The media and the leftist establishment, of which the Islamic grievance mongers are now a part, sold us the lie that the Rohingya were innocent Muslim refugees. This, as we can see from the Amnesty report, is very far from the whole truth.
