20 Muslim school boys were cut down and burned in sectarian
violence in Burma. Fear and resentment of
Muslims has spread like wildfire and villages of Muslim believers are being destroyed. One
Buddhist monk stated that the Islam is threatening the very existence of
Buddhism. Supporters of this ideal are
urging a boycott of Muslim businesses. Stickers
have been passed out to Buddhist businesses as an identifier so that people
would abandon Muslim markets. There is fear
that Muslims could use the money they earn against the Buddhist community.
Muslims are moving into camps watched by armed guards that separate from their Buddhist
neighbors.
