Roman Holiday In Burma by Ycmia: 8:25pm On Sep 07, 2017
ROMAN HOLIDAY IN BURMA

They have come in their millennial
Holding hills and rivers,
For the chance to cross into a peaceful land
And escape the Roman-holiday in their own land
Perpetrated by the force,
With the order of the state head,
Backed by the fanatics of the blessed Buddha.

What the hell is flourishing in Burma?
Why is everyone's mouth shackled in silence?
Oh! Is it 'cos of the oppressors are running infants?
But We won't wave sword till we all assemble before him,
for the account of every deeds of ours over here

Where are the army of human right?
Who war for helpless children and women,
And bury bullets of injustice for the defenceless men
Where are the world Superpowers?
To hush the brutality of Rohingya minority
And help lure sanity back to Burma.


Why is everyone in supports of their cheeks
with palm of no concern?
While lives are being cruely auctioned at ease
in the Allah's allies dominated clan of Hindi neighbourhood.
Why is no one giving out their shoulders
for the victim of Burma genocide to weep on?
If no one cares amidst of you;who could dare
Tell me not about human right you said:
buys liberty to humanity.

Opinion: Rohingya and Western Media; A Balanced Narrative By Rasheed Abubakar

The war on terror (or the semantic concoction that it actually is) will never be won if the world fails to look beyond Islam and the Muslims for its aetiology. Terrorists exist everywhere – in all religions – among the traditionists, atheists, Christians, Muslims, Buddhists and idol worshippers, among others.
However, millions of global citizens, especially netizens, are so subjective and parochial that they find extremism nowhere else except in Islam; no thanks to the Western media for the subliminal conditioning which created suitable conditions for this intellectual crisis.

For instance, the leader of the 969 Movement, a Buddhist terrorist group, Ashin Wirathu made the front cover of the July 2013 edition of Time, a popular American weekly magazine and globally recognised brand, with the headline “The Face of Buddhist Terror”, for spearheading a series of hate campaigns and provocative speeches that have led to the ethnic cleansing of the Rohingya, a Muslim minority group in Burma, also known as Myanmar.

According to a widely circulated UN report, more than 1,000 Rohingya Muslims have been murdered by the Buddhist military in the last 4 months. Over 87,000 of the victims of the pogrom were pregnant women, children and the elderly, who have fled the crisis-ridden region in the last 10 days to neighbouring Bangladesh.

Unfortunately, Bangladesh – and much expectedly, Israel-have decided to join Myanmar to play Russian roulette with the lives and property of the hapless Rohingya. While Israel is “helpfully” supplying Palestine-tested and killer-confirmed weapons to Myanmar to continue the killings, Bangladesh is refusing to take thousands of stateless, homeless and helpless Rohingya refugees in, and it is purportedly “helping Myanmar fight phantom Rohingya ‘militants and extremists’”.
