Human rights icon Aung San Suu Kyi still refuses to champion Rohingya Muslims

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

Three cheers for Suu Kyi!

Eeeuwww!
Let me out of here!

Why do we care what is happening in Burma/Myanmar as it relates to the Rohingya/Bengali population?  Because once again we are seeing the worldwide media drumbeat badgering Burma and working up to demanding that western countries take in the so-called Muslim “refugees.”

Rohingya are already coming to America as we saw a couple of days ago in our story from New Hampshire, here.

Apparently, so far, Suu Kyi isn’t buying the demand that the violence-prone “stateless” Rohingya be given the right of citizenship in Burma.  Many believe they are basically illegal aliens from Bangladesh and Burma wants to keep Burma for primarily Burmese Buddhists which is anathema to the multi-culti crowd.

Here the Global Post builds the spin about the “cause célèbre” to the point where it can blast Aung San Suu Kyi (seven paragraphs into the story):

YANGON, Myanmar — From the depths of obscurity, Myanmar’s highly beleaguered Muslim Rohingya ethnicity has become something of a global cause célèbre.

The United Nations deems the roughly 1 million population group one of the world’s “most persecuted” minorities. In a report last week, Human Right Watch deployed some of the most potent language at its disposal in describing their mistreatment: “ethnic cleansing” and “crimes against humanity.” The online pro-Rohingya call to arms #RohingyaNOW was, for a brief blip in March, Twitter’s highest-trending phrase.

Even US President Barack Obama, in his first and only visit to Myanmar last November, urged the nation to accept that Rohingya “hold within themselves the same dignity as you do.”

But these are lofty expectations from a nation in which the government, much of the general public and even progressive activist circles contend that Rohingya is a contrived ethnicity that does not exist — at least not as the people who call themselves Rohingya and their foreign sympathizers believe they do.

This week, the government released its official account of Myanmar’s most explosive violence in recent years: a 2012 wave of killing, maiming and arson sprees waged in large part by Buddhists bent on ridding their native Rakhine State of the Rohingya. But nowhere in the official English translation does the word “Rohingya” appear. The minority is instead described as “Bengali,” the native people of neighboring Bangladesh.  [Readers, I haven’t read the report but I followed the 2012 riots and they began because Rohingya were accused of raping and murdering a Buddhist girl!  Killing on both sides ensued—ed]

The report insists the stateless group largely descend from farmers led over during British occupation of Myanmar (then titled Burma) in the early 1800s. They are described as procreating heavily, failing to assimilate and inviting over their kin to the dismay of helpless local Buddhists living under colonial rule. Myanmar’s authorities have since reversed the British empire’s policy: The Rohingya are now considered non-citizens even though their alleged homeland, Bangladesh, does not accept them either.

Treating this native-born population as invaders is roundly condemned around the globe. The Rohingya, like many persecuted groups before them, have pleaded for support from Aung San Suu Kyi. The 67-year-old parliamentarian, beloved for challenging Myanmar’s despotic generals, is traditionally seen as a voice of Myanmar’s oppressed.

But in an interview with GlobalPost, the Nobel Peace Laureate’s spokesman and confidante, Nyan Win, confirmed that Aung San Suu Kyi has no plans to champion the Rohingya cause despite criticism swirling around her silence on the crisis.

Let me ask you, readers, why is it our problem when one country wants to expel illegal aliens?  Why are we expected to then bring them to America?  This is a similar situation to the Bhutanese/Nepalese people where we have taken over 60,000 to America because Bhutan expelled them and their original homeland, Nepal, refused to take them back!

I repeat, why is this our problem?

“Stateless” Rohingya Muslim women in New Hampshire, move along nothing to see….

….we are harmless, we smile, we just make jewelry and hope to get a business loan via the federal taxpayer so we might help our people.

Here is how the gushy story from Nashua, NH begins (hat tip: Jeannine):

NASHUA — They are stateless: persecuted in their own country, shunned in others. Most Americans have never heard of them.

But a small circle of refugee women has been quietly weaving a new life here for their families and, perhaps, their people.

“Stateless” is the buzzword these days for an easy ticket to refugee status.  Stories like this one (about women refugees) are meant to soften you up—after all, how threatening can a bunch of women be who weave jewelry in New Hampshire?

But, where are the men and when are they coming?  Surely these young women won’t be marrying into the local New Hampshire population.

Right now, their men are busy waging immigration Jihad in Australia and Indonesia.  PR articles like this one are meant to soften you up for the next wave.

To its credit, the US State Department resisted for years taking Rohingya Muslims from camps in Bangladesh’s Cox’s Bazar and elsewhere in the region, but as we have reported here now on several occasions, we are resettling Rohingya.

Indeed, at last year’s State Department meeting, the US Conference of Catholic Bishops cited the Rohingya as a potential new source of “refugee” bodies to resettle (they are paid by the head for the refugees they bring to your towns).

Catholic Ireland welcomes Muslims

Update May 14th:  More sharia creep in Ireland, here.

Or, so we are told by the media.  For a quick departure from the news-rich Boston refugee terrorist story, here’s an article making the rounds over the last few days—republished here at CathNews New Zealand:

They even have their own magazine! Cool huh?

Muslim immigrants are finding a much more welcoming atmosphere in traditionally Catholic Ireland than in Europe or America, according to an article in The Atlantic magazine.

Muslims make up just 1.1 per cent of the 4.5 million people in Ireland, but their ranks are swelling due to immigration, births and, in some cases, conversion.

The 2011 census recorded 49,204 Muslims, nearly a quarter of them school-aged children, but the number is projected to reach 125,000 by 2030.

Read it all.

However, not everything is so peachy as the Irish Refugee Council just yesterday blasted the government for keeping ‘asylum seekers’ in temporary “institutionalized accommodation.”  (Watch the film!).   In the US we let most asylum seekers join their family members already here and they live among us.   Come to think of it, maybe Ireland has a better idea?

THE State could be left apologising for another national scandal if asylum seekers are kept institutionalised, it was claimed.

Retired Supreme Court judge Catherine McGuinness also warned Justice Minister Alan Shatter “could be chased through the courts” if the youngsters of immigrants are not treated as equals in line with the children’s referendum.

Up to 300 people marched through Dublin to his department as part of a national day of action to end Direct Provision, the hostel-style accommodation for asylum seekers.

Ms McGuinesss said the institutionalised accommodation was created as a “panic reaction” to the large number of asylum seekers who arrived in Ireland during the boom and has been allowed to drag on with no outside observation.

So-called “asylum seekers who arrived during the boom” were most likely ECONOMIC MIGRANTS and not true REFUGEES SEEKING PROTECTION.

See our entire archive on Ireland, here, and you will see there have been many problems with the mostly Muslim migrants going to Ireland.  They even took Rohingya Muslims!  Poor Ireland they thought their Catholic/Protestant “troubles” were bad.

Mark Steyn was right—America will be alone.

(Another) boatload of Muslims apprehended in Indonesia. Could the OIC be paying for the migration?

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

Levy:   Hijra is immigration designed to subvert and subdue non-Muslim societies and pave the way for eventual, total Islamization.

It occurred to me the other day, when we learned that a 26-year-old Rohingya Muslim who had been reportedly on the run for 11 years “scraped together $12,000” to hire a trafficker to get him to Australia, to wonder where the heck does an indigent “refugee” get $12,000?   Most American 26-year-olds couldn’t “scrape” that amount of money together (except maybe as a drug dealer!).

Then I saw this story about one more illegal alien boatload of “refugees” being apprehended and it included Rohingya, Somalis and Iranians.  What might they have in common—they share the Religion of Peace!

What else might they have in common?  Perhaps a benefactor to gather them together, load them up and send them to Australia where they know they might get a “welcome” from a government (and a home with granny) in the process of destroying its demography and its sovereignty.

Could the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (based in Saudi Arabia) be funding al Hijra—the Islamic Doctrine of Immigration?  Just wondering!

Here is the story from Global Post late last week:

Indonesia’s navy detained 82 asylum seekers including scores of Muslim Rohingya from Myanmar when their boat ran aground as they headed to Australia, an immigration official said Friday.

The 51 Rohingya, 24 Iranians and seven Somalis had been heading from Sulawesi island, in the east of the country, to East Nusa Tenggara, one of the closest Indonesian provinces to Australia, he said.

An increasing number of Rohingya, described by the UN as one of the world’s most persecuted minorities, have been arriving in Indonesia as they flee Buddhist-Muslim violence which erupted in their home state of Rakhine last year.

“They were heading to Australia, as usual,” immigration official Muhammad Bakri told AFP.

The boat left from southwest Sulawesi but their boat ran aground nearby and they were picked up by a naval patrol, he said.

The migrants, including several children, were taken to the nearby city of Makassar where they were being registered and questioned by immigration officials.

Bakri said the Rohingya would be kept apart from other asylum seekers following an outbreak of violence at an immigration detention centre last week in which Rohingya killed eight Buddhists from Myanmar.

We told you about the killing of Buddhists here in four previous posts.

P.S.  I’ll be letting you know if US refugee contractors at this year’s State Department hearing aid the Hijra and ask for more Rohingya and Somalis to resettle in your cities as the US Conference of Catholic Bishops and others did last year, here.

Rohingya Muslims: Australia’s next big problem (and our’s too!)

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

They say they are trying to get to Australia, the US or Canada, even New Zealand—where they believe they will be “welcomed.”   (Sounds like they have already learned the refugee industry lingo!)

Tell me, when you read this story, does this ring true—how does a poor and downtrodden 26-year-old man (who has been on the run for 11 years already) “scrape together $12,000” to hire a people smuggler?   Something is fishy here—who is paying the advance guard?  Could it be the Saudi Arabia-based OIC? (See yesterday’s post).

Here is the story from The Australian:

TWO years ago the Indonesian office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees had fewer than 50 Rohingya asylum-seekers on its books. Today there are more than 800, and nearly all are trying to get to Australia.

“Some of my friends have gone to Australia already and after two or three years they get citizenship,” Feazel Ali tells The Australian. “Finally they can live in peace.”

Ali left Myanmar in 1994 and lived in Malaysia for 13 years before he, his wife and five children took a boat to Sumatra two months ago, hoping somehow to get a passage to Australia.

“Australians have pity for refugees, but actually anywhere that wants to accept us, I wouldn’t mind,” he says.

“I want to work. I want my children to have a high school education.”

Like many other asylum-seekers, he clings to the illusion that Australians would welcome his family, if only they knew his people’s plight. The reality is, as refugee officials say privately, no government wants the Rohingya, who are commonly described as among the most persecuted people in the world.   [The media doesn’t tell you that it isn’t because they are poor, it’s because they have a history of violence and connections to Islamic terror groups, aside from the fact that many believe they are simply illegal aliens who went Burma from Bangladesh initially.—ed]

Most of the dark-skinned Shia Muslim asylum-seekers who have reached Indonesiaare in immigration detention at Belawan, North Sumatra, or under UNHCR care in the community in nearby Medan.

Elsewhere in Indonesia they barely attracted notice until March 5, when men in the Belawan centre turned on 11 Burmese Buddhist fishermen and murdered eight of them.

The victims had been arrested for fishing illegally off Aceh last July and were vastly outnumbered by more than 100 Rohingyas.  [This is not helping the Rohingya image being crafted by the NGOs!—ed]

Festering camps:

Refused citizenship in their western Burma homeland, Rohingyas have long posed a huge refugee challenge to Bangladesh and Thailand, where more than 400,000 people live in festering border camps.

[…..]

At least 130 Rohingyas have been detained in the past eight days trying to get to Australia – 95 of them in two boats that were also carrying Bangladeshis, Iranians and Iraqis.

Refugee officials say almost all the Rohingyas interviewed in Indonesia are trying to get to Australia, though most would be happy with a visa for Canada, the US or New Zealand – other countries they believe would be welcoming.

Mark my words!  Rohingya will be the next Somalis coming to a town near you!
