All 14 Huge Mosques In Meikhtilar Destroyed Except One!

A huge Saudi-funded mosque burning in Meikhtilar.

From almost zero in the 1960s to more than 30,000 in 2013 the Muslim population grew massively in the small town Meikhtilar the famous lake city of Buddhist heartland in Middle Burma. And believe it or not they’ve built 14 massive mosques and madrassas with free flowing petrol-dollars from Wahabi Saudi Arabia.

Without counting the regularly-shifting military-population from the LID-99’s cantonment area and Shandae the second largest air-force base in Burma the total population of Meikhtilar is only about 100,000 and, believe it or not, the Muslims represent 30% of Meikhtilar residents.

Bangladeshi Islamists Burning Buddhists.

Dhaka (AsiaNews) - Acts of violence, especially against Bangladesh's Hindu minority, and strikes (hartal) continue across the country as Jamaat-e-Islami supporters call for reunification with Pakistan, and the creation of a "pure" state, free of its non-Muslim population.

Since unrest began more than a week ago, 87 people have died - mostly police and peaceful protesters. The atmosphere is increasingly tense after the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), the country's main opposition party, decided to throw its support behind Jamaat and call for an end of war tribunals set up by the ruling Awami League.

KIO Leaders Arrested and Executed By KIA Generals?

(This post is direct translation of news article from the Kachin Daily News.)

According to the local news spreading like wildfire in KIA Headquarters Laiza many KIO leaders including that famous Zaung Hara the KIO Chairman and Inbanla the KIO General Secretary had been arrested and may have already been killed by the order of either Genral Gam Shaung the KIA Chie-of-Staff or General Gun Maw the KIA Vice-Chief-of-Staff.

Since the recent abrupt-end of China-sponsored Peace Negotiations in Ruili the KIO senior leaders have not been seen or heard in Laiza. The compound of their family houses have also been declared restricted area and constantly guarded by KIA armed-men.

According to the long-time observers of so-called Kachin war of Independence very high casualties and mass desertion among the KIA ranks and files have been causing a deep crack of disagreements between the KIA (Kachin Independence Army) controlled by General Gam Shaung and its supposedly political masters KIO (Kachin Independence Organization) headed by Chairman Zaung Hara.

(This post is news articles direct from the DutchNews.nl and the BareNakedIslam.)

Anti_Islamic Dutch politician Geert Wilders.

A new opinion poll from Maurice de Hond’s polling organisation puts anti-Islam Geert Wilders’s anti-immigration PVV in top position – with one seat more than the ruling VVD Liberals.

The poll states the populist party would win 24 seats if there were to be a general election tomorrow, up nine on its actual total. By contrast, the VVD would win 23, down from the 41 seats it has in the current parliament and two down on last week.

The Dutch (Netherland) parliament has 150 seats, meaning the PVV would win 16% of the vote. The poll also gives the Socialist party 23 seats, up eight on its election total.

Burma’s 68th Armed Forces Day, Hooray! Hooray!

(Later part of this post is direct translation from the EMG and other Burmese blogs.)

March 27 is Burma’s Armed Forces Day or formerly the Revolution Day. The much celebrated day in Burma is the commemoration of that March 27 in 1945 when the Japanese-founded BNA (Burma National Army) troops in Rangoon marched into the Rangoon’s vast Cantonment Park on now U Wisara Road.

It was the very first and also the last marching parade for young BNA. A week later the whole army took to the jungle secretly to revolt against their Japanese masters.

Makkah Gov. Prince Khaled Al-Faisal yesterday indicated that Saudi Arabia may give citizenship to refugees who have been living in the Kingdom for several years as part of government’s efforts to correct their residency situation.

Addressing a forum for developing disorganized residential districts in the Makkah region, Prince Khaled said the project would focus mainly on people living in these districts, especially foreign refugees like the Burmese.

“We have agreed with the Labor Ministry to create jobs for them. We also told big companies implementing projects in the region to make use of these residents… and one day they become good citizens,” the governor said.

Burmese soldiers entering Meik-hti-lar??

Burma president Thein Sein has ordered the army to take over Middle Burma and calm the boiling racio-religious tensions there as the Buddhist-Muslim clashes spread from Meik-hti-lar to the surrounding townships.

The deadly clashes between the Burmese-Buddhists (bamars) and Bengali-Muslims (kalars) are spreading like wildfire all over the town and even spilling over to the nearby townships of the riots-torn district of Meik-hti-lar.

As per the president’s order three light infantry battalions from the 77^th Light Infantry Division based at Indagaw have entered the district of Meik-hti-lar today. The three riot-police battalions already in Meik-hti-lar have been seriously overwhelmed and unable to bring the situations under control during three long days of rioting in Meik-hti-lar town alone.

(Direct translation of nationalist monk Shin Wirathu’s letter from Myanmar Express blog.)

The Buddhist monk killed by Muslims in Meik-hti-lar.

This is the true story of Meik-hti-lar incident between Burmese Buddhists and Bengali Muslims there.

Today March 20 at about 9 in the morning U Khin Maung Win and Daw Aye Aye Naing came to New Weint Sein gold shop (Muslim-owned) to sell their gold comb. The husband and wife U Khin Maung Win (46) and Daw Aye Aye Naing (45) were together with their two young children.

The Shop-owner Muslim woman Myint Myint Aye (a) She-tar then broke the gold comb into two pieces and rubbed both pieces on their grading stone and also applied acid on them. She then decided to offer only 50,000 kyats for the gold worth at least 100,000 kyats.
