Some perspective on the killing, exodus in Rakhine
Play
The United Nations reports that, in the last two weeks alone, more than 120,000 Muslim Rohingya have fled over the border to Bangladesh to escape violence in Myanmar’s Rakhine state.
Suppose the Rohingya were Christians or Jews and the people murdering them were Muslims. Would the rest of the world still refer to the leader of those
murderers as a “democracy icon”? No way!
