It’s difficult to escape the fact that various leftist groups, non governmental organisations and the mainstream media such as the BBC and Sky are promoting the idea that the ‘Rohingya’ Islamic residents in Myanmar are a grossly oppressed group. The ‘plight’ of the ‘Rohingya’ is trumpeted loudly by groups like Oxfam with large posters of ‘Rohingya’ children being used to tug at the heartstrings and open people’s wallets. The ‘Rohingya are the cause de jour for the middle class Left and the liberal establishment.
I have little doubt that the position for the ‘Rohingya’ isn’t good and whilst like any civilised person I cannot agree with the idea that these ‘Rohingya’ should be subjected to violence, there is a counter narrative to that being spun by Oxfam, the media and the liberal left establishment. This counter narrative relates to what looks like an ongoing jihad by Muslims against non Muslims in Myanmar and surrounding areas. This jihad goes back decades upon decades and features Muslim rabble rousers who have fomented hatred towards non Muslims which is something that doesn’t often get reported in the mainstream media.
One article that I found which expounds on a counter narrative to the ‘Rohingya’ story comes from a user of the MINDS social media platform who goes by the handle of KPR37. This blogger, who appears to come from a neo-Pagan background (correct me if I’m wrong but this is what I’m picking up from a brief view of the blog), has dug out some pretty impressive research that draws from some credible and solid sources that helps to throw some new and critical light on both the ‘Rohingya’ themselves and the way that the media are promoting the ‘Rohingya’ as victims. What especially caught my eye in KPR37‘s article was their comparison between the fake nationhood claims made by the ‘Palestinians’ and the similar fake nationhood claims of the ‘Rohingya’.
My own view of the ‘Rohinhya’ situation is that Myanmar Buddhists don’t want them in Myanmar and believe that they should not be made citizens. Sadly the behaviour of the ‘Rohingya’ over the years gives me reason to think that the Myanmar Buddhists may have good reasons to not want these ‘Rohingya’ In my opinion the best and most humane way to settle the ‘Rohingya’ problem would be by way of moving the ‘Rohingya’ to their origin point, which is Bangladesh, even if it costs aid money in the short term to support this move of the unwanted ‘Rohingya’ to Bangladesh.
The article by KPR37 is really worth reading. It was difficult to decide what to excerpt from it without losing something else that was good. Therefore I would strongly counsel those who want a different view on the ‘Rohingya’ situation to click the link below and read KPR37‘s article in its entirety.
