See my post of April 24th that prompted this post and the belated response by temme.
We’ve been following the public relations efforts of Rohingya refugee advocates to convince the United Nations that 20,000-30,000 of these Burmese Muslims should be resettled in the West. Canada has already taken some. Just 10 days ago UN High Commissioner for Refugees Antonio Guterres visited camps in Bangladesh and urged repatriation of Rohingyas to their homeland.
Here is what Time magazine said about the Rohingya in Bangladesh a few years ago (read our whole post here):
Today, southern Bangladesh has become a haven for hundreds of jihadis on the lam. They find natural allies in Muslim guerrillas from India hiding out across the border, and in Muslim Rohingyas, tens of thousands of whom fled the ethnic and religious suppression of the Burmese military junta in the late 1970s and 1980s. Many Rohingyas are long-term refugees, but some are trained to cause trouble back home in camps tolerated by a succession of Bangladeshi governments. The original facilities date back to 1975, making them Asia’s oldest jihadi training camps. And one former Burmese guerrilla who visits the camps regularly describes three near Ukhia, south of the town of Cox’s Bazar, as able to accommodate a force of 2,500 between them.
Here is what a blogger, temme at the rahrahparty, in Malaysia says about us in a post entitled “I need to punch someone“:
The site, https://refugeeresettlementwatch.org/ is run by bigoted people who does not give a flying [editor: F-word deleted] for anyone but themselves. Don’t they realise that there are bigger threats to their safety running around in their own country compared to the handful of refugees resettled in the US? Don’t they realise that the biggest terrorist in the world is their own country with all its intervention activities and sanctions? Don’t they realise that refugees have bigger threats to fear if they are not resettled than the Americans have to fear of those refugees? Come on la, do you honestly think that refugees fearing for their lives have all the time in the world to plot random conspiracies against the US? All they want to do is just lead a life where they are not constantly afraid. F….ing [edited] xenophobia, it ruins the advancement of man, I tell you.
I am so angry and disturbed, I am going to punch the toilet walls. ARGH
My question for temme (an obvious love and peace to all person) is why do so many refugees want to come to the US if we have big threats to our safety here and are one of the biggest terrorist countries in the world?
To learn more about the campaign to admit Rohingya into Western countries read our whole category entitled “Rohingya Reports” and make up your own mind.
Also, I urge everyone to watch (or re-watch) the Numbers USA film linked at the top of our blog. I viewed it again the other day and it is a reminder of how futile it is to attempt to save the world, dragging down America in the process.
