There's a 1994 Burmese law which restricts the number of Rohingya muslins' children to two per couple. So far it has been ignored, however Rakhine's regime has decided to bring it to live in two zones near Bangladesh's border in Buthidaung and Maungdaw.
Accordingly to the regime this measure is to contain the increasing growth of the Muslim population in the country for they consider it as threat to their national identity since, to the Burmese people, the Rohingya people are foreigners in their country although the Rohingya have been in Burma since the XIX century (Burmese people consider them illegal immigrants since then).
Maybe the muslins who came from Bangladesh at that time were indeed illegal immigrants, but not now. Now these people are just as Burmese as the rest of the population, the only difference is their religion.
And as far as I know no true religion instigates violence, not Catholic, not Muslim nor Buddhism. In fact, I'm sure Buddha would condemn the violence demonstrated in this part of the region by people who believes in his teachings.
What are they afraid of?
How can a minority which represents only 4% of their population be a threat to their national identity?
A country's identity is build on traditions, struggles and strength. These qualities are part of many people around the world for this is how countries were built.
Someone's faith does not threaten it, what does is the darker side of us, that side which wants to dominate and when it's not able to, envies those who actually made it, which leads to extremism.
See, it's envy and greed, nothing to do with religion...
Do they really think that discriminating people based on their religion is right?
What about these people's human rights?
Or do they not consider them as human beings at all?
So tell me do you really think you have the right to live as you wish while others have to live as you want?
