Re: Reaction of Pakistani Media On Burma Killings..

It will take them some years to research and answer that question. Afterall it is such an efficient organisation that terrorist can travel through Indian waters land in Mumbai and create havoc without these guys even knowing about it. :):):)

Second option is far more effective and viable, with entire region sitting with the close eyes, unilateral effort of pakistan may not affect anything, but OIC:k:

Re: Reaction of Pakistani Media On Burma Killings..

Speaking of OIC, where is UN?

Re: Reaction of Pakistani Media On Burma Killings..

Intelligence failure do occur, CIA did fail before 9/11 and so did MI6 before 7/7 bombings, MOSSAD is unique as I don't remember bomb being blasted in Tel Aviv:)

Re: Reaction of Pakistani Media On Burma Killings..

UN is where US is:D

Re: Reaction of Pakistani Media On Burma Killings..


Ironically, you are correct in terms of location but killing of humans (regardless if they are muslims or not) is not a laughing matter. There are news coming out of Aasam too.

Re: Reaction of Pakistani Media On Burma Killings..

I didn't laugh on killing of assam or burma, my taunt was only on UN:), no offence meant

Re: Reaction of Pakistani Media On Burma Killings..

It seems intelligence failure is quite ripe in this organisation. Mumbai attacks was not first one, many happened before as well like the attack on Parliament etc., It is only after the event that suddenly they wake up and realise that ISI was behind the plot. :)

Re: Reaction of Pakistani Media On Burma Killings..

so that justifies Burma killing - cool

so you claimed there is no killing of Muslims going on in Burma? Here are couple of links. I had to find some non-Pakistani links for you as it would have been easy for you to ridicule Pakistani media links…

Killing is one thing, but making it out to be on a level of genocide is another one. You poeple might have the perception that the Rohingyas are dying because they are Muslim, which is not the case. (Rohingyas are actually just one of FOUR groups of Burmse Muslims) Some of them are dying due to a clash between them and Rakhine people. All started because a mob of Rohingyas decided to rape a girl, and ever since there have been riots and people from both sides have been dying. Stop claiming that it's a genocide. Stop the manipulation of facts. Simply STOP lying!

Re: Reaction of Pakistani Media On Burma Killings..

The link above mentions the use of fake photos of incidents elsewhere. Talat's program also depicting the same photos. This has already been pointed out in another thread in WA. Use of fake photos is making the case weaker.

Re: Reaction of Pakistani Media On Burma Killings..

Independent reports indicate the violence has died down now and at its peak maybe up to a hundred people died in riots that began in May. Here is a report from BBC about violence there. It does not appear to nowhere as bad as the propaganda machine in Pakistan has made it out to be with fake photos and false body count numbers etc. The level of violence in Syria, in comparisons, is a lot worse and is rightly getting the attention in world press. Also, this conflict has nothing to do with religion, Buddhist or Muslim, but is ethnic and about land rights and rights of statehood of the Rohingyas.

BBC News - Q&A: Unrest in Burma’s Rakhine state
Q&A: Unrest in Burma’s Rakhine state

A state of emergency has been declared in the western Rakhine state of Burma, after deadly communal clashes. The BBC News website explains what lies behind the latest unrest.
What sparked the latest violence?
The rape and murder of a young Buddhist woman in Rakhine in May set off a chain of deadly sectarian clashes.

  • On 4 June, 10 Muslim men were killed after an angry crowd attacked a bus in the Taungup district, apparently mistakenly believing some passengers were responsible for the murder
  • Three Muslim men were later arrested for the rape. Two have now been sentenced to death, one died in custody
  • After Friday prayers following the bus attack, Muslims gathered in the town of Maung Daw
  • The crowd turned angry and began attacking nearby buildings
  • Police came to quell the protest but the crowd dispersed and began to set fire to predominantly Rakhine Buddhist villages in the area.
  • Curfew was declared in Maung Daw but the violence escalated and spread to many towns
  • Buddhists also launched reprisal attacks on Muslim villages.

Why has a state of emergency been declared and what does it mean?
In response to the violence, a state of emergency was declared across Rakhine. A state of emergency allows the introduction of martial law, which means the military can take over administrative control of the region.
State television said the order was in response to “unrest and terrorist attacks” and “intended to restore security and stability to the people immediately”.
It is the first time that the current government has declared a state of emergency anywhere in Burma, and in a televised speech President Thein Sein said the violence could endanger moves towards democracy and stability.
What is the sectarian angle to the violence?
There have been long-standing tensions between Rakhine people, who are Buddhist and make up the majority of the state’s population, and Muslims.
Most of these Muslims identify themselves as Rohingya, a group that originated in part of Bengal, now called Bangladesh.
In the towns bordering Bangladesh, where the violence has taken place, the majority of the population is Muslim.
In this latest outbreak of violence, it is unclear if the Muslims accused of murdering the Buddhist women, or those killed on the bus, or those involved in communal violence, are Rohingyas.
Overseas-based Rohingya rights groups say that because of the latest violence, Rohingyas have been attacked.
Who are the Rohingyas?
The United Nations describes Rohingya as a religious and linguistic minority from western Burma. It says the Rohingya are one of the most persecuted minorities in the world.
But even the origins of the word Rohingya, and how they came to be in Burma, is controversial with some historians saying the group dates back centuries and others saying it only emerged as a campaigning force last century.
The Burmese government says they are relatively recent migrants from the Indian sub-continent. As a result, the country’s constitution does not include them among indigenous groups qualifying for citizenship.
Historically, the Rakhine majority has resented the presence of Rohingyas, who they view as Muslim people from another country.
The Rohingyas, on the other hand, feel they are part of Burma and claim persecution by the state.
Is there a risk this might escalate further?
It is very difficult for journalists to operate in the region and verify reports.
But observers believe there could be more communal violence.
Analysts say that communal tensions with a religious and sectarian tinge have the potential to spark wider unrest and this is what will concern the government.
The United Nations World Food Programme says around 90,000 people have been displaced by the unrest.
What kind of threat does this pose for the Burmese state?
The troubles are being seen as a key test for Burma, which saw a nominally civilian government elected in 2010 after decades of oppressive military rule.
The clashes have raised concerns about the fragility of Burma’s democracy.
President Thein Sein has said that the violence puts the country’s moves towards democracy in danger.
It is important for Burma to be seen as a stable state, but it is always going to have to contend with the fact that it is one of Asia’s most ethnically diverse states and people are watching to see how the government handles the tensions.

Re: Reaction of Pakistani Media On Burma Killings..

I do not think anyone is claiming a genocide. Mass killing? yesh

secondly

What if God forbid if it was some Muslim Girl raped in Pakistan by some Hindu and after that some 50,60..100 Hindus killed by Muslims in clashes, do you think world Media/UN would have stayed as quiet as they are right now?

I do not think so.
