The Rohingya Muslims who have been living in Burma (Myanmar) for, they claim, centuries continue to flow out of Burma into neighboring countries. Bangladesh which has camps for them at places like Cox’s Bazaar has apparently had it and is returning them to Burma as soon as they come across the border according to this report today.
By Tun Kyaw, Coxs bazar: Within four days 178 Rohingya Muslims from Burma who entered Bangladesh illegally were arrested and pushed back across the border to Burma by Bangladesh authorities, a source reports.
The individuals were arrested by Bangladesh Rifles Battalion No. 17 in the area of Bangladesh’s Ukia Sub-division under Cox’s Bazar District on the border of Maungdaw Township in Arakan State as they attempted to enter Bangladesh illegally to seek refuge.

Rohingyas from Burma have been illegally entered Bangladesh in groups one after another over the last month. “The flow of Burmese Muslims into Bangladesh has been unabated,” said a border security officer on the condition of anonymity.
Local newspapers claim that Burmese entering Bangladesh are mixing into populations in the Chittagong Hill Tracts and causing crime and social unrest.
Linked with this brief news story is a lengthy treatise claiming the Rohingya were never heard of before the 1950’s and have not lived in Burma’s Arakan State for the centuries they claim.
By the way, where is the outrage against Bangladesh? You will recall that “human rights” groups went ballistic a few months ago when Thailand pushed Rohingya illegal alien boat MEN back out to sea and the story became international news, start here. Better still, if you are new to the Rohingya refugee crisis campaign, check out our whole category, Rohingya Reports.
Why do we care? We care because the public relations push is on to resettle Rohingya in America.
If anyone sees any news from Ms. Hillary at the State Department condemning Muslim Bangladesh, send it my way! After Obama’s fawning Cairo speech I don’t expect to see too much wrist-slapping of Muslim countries by the Obama Administration. And, heck we all know how kind and welcoming a Muslim country is to its fellow Muslims!
