           radical gangs are specifically against the Rohingyas because they are
           Muslims.

                Although there is slight chanting only against this anti-Muslim
           oppression, it is not prevented on the whole. Obviously, all Muslim
           states must unite to stop this persecution against the Rohingyas.

                A union of Muslims and unanimous loud voices will certainly
           have a great political impact on the Myanmar government and on the
           international arena.

                Yet, instead of uniting around a notion of love and alliance, Mus-
           lim states quarrel with one another and thus, lose courage and influ-
           ence. As a result, persecution and oppression against Muslims are
           seen all around the world. The leaders of these Muslim states must
           keep in mind that they are responsible for this oppression. A collabo-
           ration based on love and peace must be formed at an intellectual level.

                It is a nice development and important step that leaders of the
           new government will be meeting United States President
           Barack Obama in the following days. It is vital that

           Muslim leaders, non-governmental organizations,
           the media, human rights institutions and academici-
           ans facilitate the shaping of public opinion by star-
           ting an initiative for the Rohingyas through Obama
           and Suu Kyi.

                Only then, will the world open
           its eyes and see how oppressed



           The radical Buddhist movement
           lead by monks often express
           that they are against Muslims.
