To most Saudis, Burma was almost
an unknown country, until the news of massacre of Rohingya Muslims came out. In their vacation and on the street,
Saudis run across men in orange attire, who are soft spoken and appear to be
gentle and peaceful, with pamphlets and flyers in their hands about Buddhism,
giving them away to pedestrians.
These Buddhists appear as if they cannot hurt a fly,
while the pictures coming out from Burma are very graphic and heart
wrenching.
Children being grilled naked and alive; corpses amputated with
hatchets; and dead bodies of men, women and children, young and old
scattered everywhere.
This may indicate to some Saudis
that killing thousands of Muslims in such a manner is not only a violent
character of the heartless dictatorship that rules Myanmar, but also a quality
of the Buddhist theocratic ideology. In other words, Buddhism could be seen by
some people as a pretentious religion that appears peaceful, but in fact this
religion disguises hateful, violent Buddhists in orange sheets.
Burma is in the limelight and has
become the focus of attention of Saudis. Most Saudis have a vague knowledge of
the geographical whereabouts of this country, and many were surprised to know
that majority of the 56 million Burmese are Buddhists.
The religious break-up of the
population is as follows: 53.42 million Buddhists, 2.98 million Christians,
2.27 million Muslims, 0.3 million Hindus and 0.79 million of those who believe
in other religions. But why Rohingya Muslims are the only religious group
repeatedly persecuted throughout Burma's history.
Those previous and current
massacres of Muslims in Burma are documented by UN agencies, and it was
reported that the Rohingya Muslims are the most persecuted minority in the
world. Despite these grave human rights violations neither the UN nor the
international community took quick and tangible actions to stop them.
Being a minority, these Muslims
stood against all odds over the centuries, specifically since 1550 AD until the
present time. They were repeatedly massacred at the hands of the majority
Buddhist population. Nonetheless, every time after repression they bounce back
to their previous successes.
This killing of Muslims has been
systematic and institutionalized throughout the history of Burma. These Muslims
are Rohingyas, and they comprise different ethnic groups, including Indians,
Bangladeshis, Chinese, Arabs, Persians and even Burmese. Despite their limited
numbers, their greatest sin is that they are hardworking and so have achieved success
in trade and education.

We call on the honorable Dalai
Lama to interfere with the Myanmar government to stop the massacres of Muslims
at the hands of Buddhists. No religion in the world approves of atrocities
against the Burmese Muslims, and Buddhism is among the religions that also does
not approve of such an act.
Muslims want the Dalai Lama to
speak out against those atrocities to show the entire world in
general, and the Muslim world in particular that Buddhism condemns these grave
human rights violations against Muslims.
We need Dalai Lama in the spirit
of this blessed month of Ramadan to send a message of love, peace, and comfort
to the victims of those horrible incidents in Burma, their
families and loved ones. The world needs Dalai Lama to speak out.
