Malala Yousafzai Criticizes Aung San Suu Kyi Over Violence On Myanmar's Rohingya
Malala Yousafzai, known as just Malala, has joined other human rights activists and officials in publicly criticizing Aung San Suu Kyi, Myanmar's effective leader, for the treatment of the Rohingya Muslim minority in Myanmar.
More than 73,000 Rohingya have crossed into Bangladesh from Myanmar in the latest wave of violence by the Myanmar military, spurred by an attack from a group of Rohingya militants on a military post on Aug. 25.
The brutal treatment of Myanmar's Rohingya is longstanding — they've been called the most persecuted minority group on the planet.
A Pakistani education activist, Malala won the Nobel Peace Prize for her promotion of girls' education. She took to Twitter Sunday to criticize Aung San Suu Kyi, a fellow Peace Prize recipient.
The Rohingya people live in Myanmar, formerly known as Burma.

> "the most persecuted minority group on the planet"
> islam
> minority group
Were they being persecuted exclusively because of their ethnicity, the sentence would carry some sense. But since we are talking about retaliation after one attack, knowing that muslims gonna muslim*, I find this sentence comical.
*) no offence meant, every meatbag has his own right to try pleasing the god that will probably have them slammed down in the darkest pits of hell for their hypocrisy.

They are an ETHNIC minority.
You can persecute a person for more than just their religion. Just look at the Kurds in Turkey.

I wrote "Were they being persecuted exclusively because of their ethnicity". You answered with another factoid.
> Kurds in Turkey
You mean Kurds in Kurdistan.
Rohingya is persecuted because they want their own paki satellite state and because they got arms from English in WWII and used it against their own fellow countrymen. There might some abstract hate for muslims into that, but it is on you to prove that in light of the other ethnic groups around there.

This is not about religion. Neighboring Bangladesh is mainly Muslim and they don't want the Rohingya either.
Also you are a small minded cocksucker*

There are many kinds of Muslim. (Shia and Sunni being the largest two)
Each kind of Muslim thinks that every other type of Muslim is not Muslim. The punishment is death.
So of course Bangladesh doesn't want the Rohingya, and the Rohingya hate Bangladesh. Each wants to kill the other. The Rohingya are the losing side in that battle, so they need to seek out and conquer new territory from other infidels.

The article is shameful spin. Malala is getting played. The group in question has been illegally swarming over the borders from Bangladesh into both India and Burma for a very long time, many decades in fact. Both governments have been historically lax about border enforcement. However, now that their numbers are large enough, they are starting to turn violent in efforts to drive out the indigenous populations they compete against.
They are squatters. But because they are moslem squatters, the media has started to ignore what is going on now and forget the past and any context in order to promote their cause. How the media got that way would be an interesting discussion [fortune.com] before it is too late [theguardian.com].
This activity, transmigration, has been a core war tactic of islam since the 6th century. Looking at what is happening to Europe, India, Myanmar, Papua, and pretty much any other region in the world. It is still a tactic that is heavily relied upon to take over new territories and a tactic they are not going to let up on. If current events are too political, then look history to see what happened to Europe and India the previous times islam attacked. Transmigration was used every time.
It is later than you think.

They are trying the same tactic in Australia. "Minority" my ass. There are a billion of them on the planet.

Malala was a tool from day one, a child turned into a pretty sock puppet for vile people. Kyi is an actual leader trying to save her country from monsters. So of course the International community of monsters are using their puppet to support fellow monsters.
Diversity + Proximity = War
That goes double for Islam, it brings war and strife with it wherever other people are foolish enough to allow it in.

You seem to be confused, transmigration of souls is a doctrine of Hinduism, or possibly Druidism, not Muslim at all.
