The BBC has obtained police video showing officers standing by while Buddhist rioters attacked minority Muslims in the Burmese town of Meiktila. The footage shows a mob destroying a Muslim gold shop and then setting fire to houses. A man is seen on fire. It was filmed last month, when at least 43 people were killed in Meiktila. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-22243676 Truly saddened by this. I am not religious but Buddhism is closest to my beliefs. This massive mob indiscriminate revenge attack on innocent people is disgraceful. Buddhists should not be doing this and it is against all that they believe in. Aside, If it was Muslims carrying out this attack on Buddhists, the usual forum posters would be all over it - "shock (fake) horror at disgraceful attack on Buddhist statues by Muslims"

Muslims not goin' back to where they aren't wlecome...

They are tired of burning themselves as a sign of protest, time to use that shaolin martial arts, well the Chinese failed to instigate them to become violent but I think the Muslim did achieve it, that supposedly religion of peace.
Indeed, the religious violence has come home to roost and really, Muslims could find themselves in a situation comparable to where the Jews were after they lost Israel the first time. Which would be sad, if it weren't for the fact that they self-inflicted it on themselves.
Muslims are attacked and pushed out of every place they invade through out history...for good reason. They havent changed since the 9th century so expect history to keep repeating in regard to Muslims.
