Recent Violence Against Muslims in Central Burma

This article by standnow.org talks about how the Myanmar military in Burma is targeting certain religious groups and acting out violently against them. The primary dispute at the moment is between Buddhist and Muslim religions. Because of one argument, 40 people have died and 12,000 have been displaced in Central Burma. Buddhists have been hunting down the Muslims and the Buddhist monks are taking part in politics, which previously was something the monks were to stay uninvolved with. Currently, the issue is centered around the fact that the Muslims are viewed as immigrants and the Buddhists have been displacing them from their homes as an act of disrespect. The hope is that the hatred will not become so strong that it turns into a genocide.
