Letter 3 : What Is an American?
Situated between Indian and Thailand, Burma is a southeast Asian nation

Read more:

Burma has a population 75 million with the Muslim population being just 0.7 million. The Burmese Muslims have been under this affliction after 1962 when the Army usurped the power in Burma. It all started on 3rd June 2012 when 11 innocent Muslims were killed by the Burmese Army and the Buddhist mobs after bringing them down from a bus

Over 500 Muslim villages have been incinerated hither-to. Thousands have been exterminated. Yet all the human rights organizations have maintained a criminal silence up till now.

This is not a new thing or an unprecedented massacre. Muslims have been a subject to such hostility even before. If we go through the annals of history we come to the very tenable conclusion that Muslims were always on the suffering side. Islam is a religion of peace and harmony. This leaves behind a big question mark. Why are the followers of such a peaceful religion being oppressed from time to time?

TURKEY is the first Islamic country that concerns about burma Muslims he is there to talk to Burma's government, Masha allah! the women who cries is the ministers wife who meets there with Muslim Women. J.R

ts not about not about religion, its not about nationalism and its not even about racism, its just about humanity !
If you have got humanity in yourself, and if you're not even capable of showing it off, just don't go against it !
The question to Budhists is just that does their religion teach killing other religion believers ?

If so, then you are the only terrorists, not those innocents that have been getting killed in Pakistan and Afghanistan by NATO and those drones, NATO should come there in Burma to eliminate terrorism from there if humans are being killed by the wolf and pigs(animals) there, and if not, then just at least be human and show up your humanity !
And i guess the maximum has forgot that what humanity actually

    Although some americans take for granted the oppertunities at hand, there have been several historical figures that know the true meaning of being apart of the United States. John Fitzgerald Kennedy, former president of the united states, said, "My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man." He also said, "The cost of freedom is always high, but Americans have always paid it. And one path we shall never choose, and that is the path of surrender, or submission." Kennedy understood the true honor of what being an american is. There have been other presidents who know it too, such as Theodore Roosevelt. He stated, "I am an American; free born and free bred, where I acknowledge no man as my superior, except for his own worth, or as my inferior, except for his own demerit.” Even before America was formed, there were still people who dreamed of peace and equality. The men who put their lives on the line in order to accomplish their goals of having a country free of slavery and unjust treatment believed in their cause and in their leaders. George Washington, the general who lead the american revolution and the first president of the united states made a speech saying, "Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; this is all we can expect - We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die: Our own Country's Honor, all call upon us for a vigorous and manly exertion, and if we now shamefully fail, we shall become infamous to the whole world. Let us therefore rely upon the goodness of the Cause, and the aid of the supreme Being, in whose hands Victory is, to animate and encourage us to great and noble Actions - The Eyes of all our Countrymen are now upon us, and we shall have their blessings, and praises, if happily we are the instruments of saving them from the Tyranny meditated against them. Let us therefore animate and encourage each…

    All Americans are guaranteed equal justice. They are allowed equal justice because America is a free country. Americans are inclined to freedom and with that freedom, have the ability to create infinite opportunities for themselves, which then allow them to find success, happiness, and prosperity. Americans can find these opportunities because they live in a meritocracy, and are provided with rights and freedoms that come from The Constitution of the United States of America. The Bill of Rights, the first ten amendments of the constitution, are a significant portion of rights that give Americans their freedom. Some of these rights include, the freedom of speech, religion, right to bare arms, the right to equal justice and right to own private property. They also to enjoy many other freedoms such as raising a family, traveling anywhere in the U.S., having the freedom to receive a free education, and work at any job for which a citizen can qualify. Through these freedoms Americans are able to pursue careers in anything that gratifies them, practice any religion they believe in, and being able to protect themselves from harm with the right to bare arms. This allows them the opportunity of living a life of happiness and success, all because they have the freedom to do so. Americans ability to embrace their freedom, use it for the better of the world, and to prosper in whatever they choose to pursue, is the meaning of what it means to be an American.…

    What being an American means to me is that I have the rights to do anything. Even though we are able to have all of these rights doesn’t mean we are able to take advantage of them there are still consequences for our actions. All the people in the Navy, Army, Air-force etc have the job to protect us, not everyone who shoots people just because. Being an American to me means being respectful to everyone. Like what Harry S Truman said, “you know that being an American is more than a matter of where your parents came from. It is a belief that all men are created equally and that everyone deserves an even break.” Being an American means to be brave loyal and kind to everyone no matter what. We…

    Muslims are not only being tortured but being stripped of a person’s most wealthy asset in a country: their citizenship. This is happening in the United Kingdom and in the United States. A Muslim Somali-born man with UK citizenship went to Somalia to visit his family. When he got back, he was informed by MI5 that he had been stripped of his citizenship. A similar story took place in the United States of America.…

    WHY is Asean silent on the issue of Rohingya Muslims, who have been suffering for centuries under the Myanmar army junta? Recently, they were told to leave the country to a third world nation willing to receive them.

    Bangladesh and Burma , two of Asia 's poorest nations , displaced and stateless people of Rohingya suffer in silence at the hands of the military government in Burma 's Orwellian new capital of Naypyidaw Bangladesh. This is not the first time that Rohingya Muslims were persecuted in Myanmar. In their history, such mass killings have happened several times. People of Rohingya are being crashed to death. Their children are starving in the darkness of dawn in this Asian century. India and China are interested in resuscitating decrepit colonial era ports and WWII era transport routes in their weak states in the name of securing resources for their respective domestic economic progress. In Myanmar the year 2012, Buddhist monks issued religious edicts banning social and economic ties with the Rohingya people and yet they are consisted the world’s most forgotten people. We are all college students in Texas, how does a group of people located across the planet affect us? We are all studying to become someone or achieve something, we are the future. If we are ignorant to the sufferings of individuals then each death becomes just a statistic instead of a life lost and 50,000 deaths become reassuring as long as it is not a million. The Rohingyas are called the world’s most forgotten people because the few that know about the genocide that they are enduring are doing nothing about it. I believe we should all be aware of who the Rohingyas are, why they are prosecuted and the global response to this tragedy. Rohingya Muslims are arguably becoming one of the most endangered populations in this world, and definitely one by which is experiencing an absolute amount of remarkable trauma among their people. Rohingyas people are fighting to stay a live and fighting to protect their identity. According to a July 2012 article by Syed Zubair Ahmad, in 1982 the Rohingyas were stripped of their citizen rights in Myanmar through the Citizenship Law thus…

    Started around 1942, when Burma was still a colony under British colonial rule, the japanese forces invaded Burma. The british force then retreated and there was a power vacuum in the land. During this period, several communal violences errupted. Buddhist Rakhine and Moslem Rohingya attacked each another, underwent religious and ethnic conflict. This conflict caused a displacement between both groups, Buddhist Rakhine moved to the southern area, while Moslem Rohingya stayed in north. Alongside with this displacement and severe violences issues ruled by the Japanese forces, the Rohingya crossed Burma’s borderline until Bengal, Bangladesh and many of them stayed there as refugees. This situation has led British forces to take an action, drove the Japanese out of the land. Prior to their invasion, to seek support for their forces in Burma, the British promised the Rohingya to create a Muslim National Area, an independent area for the Moslem Rohingya. However, this promise had never been delivered by the British Government.…

    Islam and Foreign Policy

    As the very word implies, Islam means ‘peace’ and ‘security’. It also means ‘submission’ to Allah and hence salvation. Islam is thus, a religion of peace and, no wonder the basic principle of the Islamic state in its relations with foreign countries is ‘peace with all and war against none’ or in other words, ‘friendship towards all and malice towards none’. Al-Qur’an, the revealed book of Islam, does not allow an aggressive war; it allows to take up arms only as a last resort in self-defence. The Qur’an enjoins upon its followers: “Fight in the way of Allah against those who fight against you, but begin not hostilities. Lo! Allah loveth not aggressors”. (2:190). History of Islam is witness to the fact that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and his companions resorted to fight only when they had been wronged, persecuted and even expelled from their homes by the enemies of Islam. The Qur’an mentions this fact when it says: “Sanction is given unto those who fight because they have been wronged; and Allah is indeed Able to give…

    love for all

    Love brings peace in our lives. Where ever there is a love there is peace whether it’s a house, a community or the world but the pace at which peace is fast disappearing from the world today has caused each sane and sensible person to worry. Now a days the world is facing the threat of the third world war because of the present social , political and religious situation all around the world. To make this world a peaceful place what we need now is love for all, hatred for none which is the motto of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. According to the Hadhrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, the fifth Khalifa of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, “if we want to establish real peace then not only do justice but the strong should treat the weak with equity and treat them in the same manner as one treats one’s dear and beloved ones and ignores some of their defaults. Every problem cannot be solved by force , good and just treatment fosters a feeling of bonding and trust. The urge of real peace comes from the heart is the only one that establishes real peace because it is based on love and warmth.” love for all hatred for none is not only the motto of the Ahmadiyya Muslim community but also the community is been actively engaged to create peace around the world. Millions of people worldwide received Ahmadiyya message of ‘Muslims for peace’ through knocking on doors and electronic and moving billboards in North America; and millions more in Europe, Australia and Africa received the message that ‘Islam stands for locality to one’s homeland’. Islam, is an Arabic word which literally means ‘obedience and peace’ but it is unfortunate that Islam , the religion of peace , hope, harmony, goodwill and brotherhood had been badly tarnished by the perpetrators of various terrorist acts and barbarism as seen in past. The true teaching of Islam says that all mankind is like a family and it can only look after the peace and security of each member, only if it lives…

    On the other hand, Bangladesh never talked more about the internal political development of Myanmar. Rather, Bangladesh was always keen to emphasize on bilateral issues. But, the military rule in Myanmar always remains a concern for the people of Bangladesh. The democratic forces in Bangladesh want to see Myanmar as a democratic country. In this respect, the recent political and economic reforms in Myanmar have enhanced the expectations of Bangladesh to develop a new phase of relationship which would be beneficial for both the countries in terms of security and development.…
