    Sorry if this sounds rude of me but that suggestion is absurd. Myanmar is 90% Buddhist. The monastery was attacked by the junta (government military). The junta also attacks Muslims. From your own link:

    Soldiers and police sometimes stood by “while atrocities have been committed before their very eyes, including by well-organized ultra-nationalist Buddhist mobs,” said the rapporteur, Tomas Ojea Quintana. “This may indicate direct involvement by some sections of the state or implicit collusion and support for such actions.”

    Which of course was confirmed later when junta soldiers began giving testimony about their role in killing Muslims in the Rohingya Genocide
