Who fucking kills Buddhists?
Seriously, it’s up there with throwing a sack of kittens into a river.
I hate to break it to you but Buddhists killed those Buddhists.
Myanmar is 90% Buddhist and in the middle of a brutal civil war after over 60 years of military dictatorship by Buddhists, against a civilian population of mostly Buddhists.
Myanmar is also home to a sect of violent extremist Buddhists who supported genocide.
The Buddhists in Myanmar have been mass murdering Muslims for a decade now.
This is probably retributory violence for those massacres.
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
I prefer the name Burma, idk why.
Most people in the Burmese community refers to the country by the name Burma as well since the name change was done by the military junta.
The military junta said to call it Myanmar.
