JI appeals to stop Muslim massacre in Burma

LAHORE - Ameer Jamaat e Islami (JI) Pakistan Syed Munawar Hasan on Thursday urged the world community to exert its influence to stop massacre of Muslims in Arakan (Burma). He also appealed to the OIC and the UN to take effective measures to protect the Arakan Muslims. In a statement, he said that infinite numbers of people in Arakan and Myanmar were being punished only because they adhere to the Muslim faith. Atrocities were perpetrated on them for the last many years but the whole world was silent and the media too had shut its eyes. The JI Ameer wondered if the human rights champions were aware of the Muslims’ genocide in Arakan. He said the UN had termed the Arakani Muslims the most oppressed people but it had failed to take any practical steps to remedy the situation. Munawar lamented the fact that the authorities concerned would not even let the suffering Muslims migrate into Bangladesh. “The huts and habitations of the Muslims were being set on fire,” he added.

    The issue ha snot been highlighted in the media at all.it should be given wide publicity and the government should exert pressure on Burma to immediately stop the atrocities

  2. Well according to JI, i think he is absolutely right cause the time for killing is over, its time for peace and understanding…….. i know ppl are having problem with rohingyas, but let them stay in Myanmar and give them rules and regulation just like USA have given to the spanish and mexican……..
    Just because of 1 problem thousands are dieing and som1 should do somthing.

  3. True Muslim says:

    Where is Asma Jahangir ?, Kamran Shafi ?, Dr. Farzana Bari ?, Hina Gillani ?, and all those fake-liberals who don’t waste a second condemning Muslim-on-Muslim crime ?. Does Buddhist-on-Muslim crime not end in Muslims dead bodies ?.

    Arab media, one can argue, is controlled by their rulers. They have lost their voices eons ago. But our mouN-phat media, who goes to all extents of despicable, outrageous lengths in the search for truth (ratings)… and we haven’t heard a peep anywhere about these helpless Muslims being struck down, like gajar mooli.

    Shame on all mainstream and religious media outlets. Beyhiss and beyghairat.
    Our silence will steer us towards the same slaughering sooner or later then we will wake up from the reverie.
