Burma ethnically cleansing out Muslims

[Mr. Somebody]

No one wins. Beef has been declared and a cycle of drama has started. Where it will culminate and end, who knows but many innocent lives of innocent people who believe in God will be lost. Then again, all man is guilty of sin and the wages of sin is death. Its so complex. Just sad that children are being involved in this. Thankfully, children go to heaven but its still sad and so demonic, friends.

How does one 'ethnically' cleanse Muslims when they aren't an 'ethnic' group?

In many places, religions overlap with ethnic groups, and I think Burma is one of those places. The Muslims there self-identify as being of a different ancestry than the other Burmese, claiming descendence from foreign traders, Central Asian/Chinese, Indians, Persians, Arabs, etc, (and there are several different kinds of Burmese Muslims, too, who do have different ancestries,) and the other Burmese also see them as being of a separate ancestry, for different reasons. There's a lot of mythological and some truthful, historical narrativizing at work on both sides. There's also the fact that the vast majority of Burmese Muslims belong to one minority ethnicity, the Rohingya. I don't think ethnic cleansing is an inappropriate term in this particular case.

Got it. In that case, thread title is ambiguously deceptive and accomplished what it set out to do. It would have been far more appropriate a couple thousand years ago, but not now without further explanation regarding the nuances of Burmese civilization that you provided.

From what I've seen, the world is still full of that kind of fukkery, but it's more complex now because it involves identity constructions on both sides- a minority group defining themselves through pseudomythological historiography for the sake of remaining distinct or superior, and other groups defining them as distinct for their own puroses. I noticed the same thing in S. Asia, for example. Some S. Asian Muslims claim descendence from Arabs, Persians, etc, as a way of feeling racially distinct/superior to others, while non-Muslims also construct Muslims as being defined by an ultimately foreign ancestry, even if it's not true, for different (discriminatory) reasons. Then look at East/Northeast Africa, where some minority folks call themselves Hebrews or even Greeks to avoid Africanness. The list goes on and on.

Does that make them xenophobic? Perhaps even racist?
