Since 2012, authorities in Western Burma have been putting out magazines of religious hatred titled “Protection of Buddhist Nationalism”. Amongst the publications, The Passima Yet Hwong (the western region) magazine was the most notorious and smartly sketched to stimulate Buddhists as strong as Hurricane winds to insult other faiths. It was authorized by authorities of all kinds of state departments. 

When westerners, European countries, ASEAN and the rest international independent institutions spoke out against the long oppression of Burmese Buddhist majority regime against ethnic minorities. The mastermind of these continual collisions is the so called "reformist" or "pseudo democratic" president Thein Sein. The former high rank military officer, triggered unexpected and/or unwanted crisis— National protection for Buddhist Nationalism. 

President Thein Sein conspired with some migrant Buddhist people racially western Rakhines (Anot-thar Mogh), who migrated from Bangladesh to western Burma for economic crisis. Then, he internally designated his adopted-fiddles immoral militaristic officers in Rakhine state government. This, to trigger riots in order for the democracy transition from military transition could be back stepped rather than going ahead. 

A histrionic rape issue— a Rakhine Buddhist girl was raped and murdered and three Rohingya adults were alleged forcibly — was created by some members of Rakhine Nationalities Development Party (RNDP) and authorities detained them without any further inquiry and on the double, they were sentenced to death. 

That murder provoked an attack on a bus passing in the Taungup area of Rakhine state by a mob of 300 people killed the ten Muslim pilgrims on the spot on June 3, 2012. The government run newspaper New Light of Myanmar reported. "Here a censorious point that how the government could reveal the exact number of gangsters." 

Since June 2012, on the double, the deliberate, unprecedented violence erupted from Taungup to most parts of the Rakhine, central Burma and almost every Muslim quarter throughout the country. 

Amid the Burmese state-sponsored religious collision (in reality the ethnic cleansing of Rohingya and eradication of other Muslims), the security forces, Buddhist terrorists, monks, police, riot police and border security forces perpetrated such terrible crimes more repressively than ever. Gangbangs to mostly immature girls and slaughter, vandalization of tens of thousands of homes and religious buildings. Lively killings of innocent persons and arbitrary arrests, displaced hundreds of thousands of well settled people. Extortion of money and torturing until death in detained centres. Threats to flee into uncertain destinations leaving own properties, dragging women as sex slaves to army camps, forced labor, confiscation lands, confinements and so on. 

It is cruel and miserable that the government has been changing the demographics of western Burma. Resettling western Rakhines from Bangladesh in Rohingya quarters. 

A few months later, the president made a state-sponsored terrorist group 969 campaign, or 969 anti-Muslim movement led by a monk Wirathu. This man was sentenced in 2003 for inspiring Islamophobia. The main motive of the 969 campaign was only to simultaneously attack Muslims and to trigger more riots. To postpone access of international delegations including diplomats and journalists. Ultimately to avoid verdict of all real miscreants. 

Moreover, other double standard rulings of the so called Neo-Nazi democratic government of Burma, many Rohingya and other Muslim elites, politicians, religious experienced mentors and intellectuals are arrested as miscreants on suspicion. They have been quickly imprisoned with false verdicts. 

Whenever the Hitlerite officials of Burma give visitations to Western countries or Europe, they assured and pledged deceptively that there would be no more collisions. They would tackle the further unrest in Rakhine and will probe the unrest. 

They implemented all commitments negatively. President Thein Sein vowed he will open schools for Rohingya children in August 2012. Later, all of the religious schools of Rohingya children were locked up. University students harassed. In lieu of erecting homes to internally displaced people (IDP), they are kept in concentration camps. This is neat and clean though, in contrast of Rakhine IDPs who are enlisted as displaced ones unwillingly by Rakhine state authorities. 

Then, Burma’s Ministry of Border Affairs and a delegation led by OIC Ambassador Ufuk Gokcen, signed a MoU on Sept. 9 to postpone opening OIC offices In Burma. The regime made countrywide demonstrations by monks and finally the deceptive Hitlerite genocidal President Thein Sein announced that he will not allow OIC to open office, for it was against the people’s desire in 15 October 2012. 

Due to international reiterative condemnations, the government disbanded the most notorious and the ever most successive and destructive and discriminatory department "Nasaka." who oppressed repressively the Rohingya. They remained in historical records as unprecedented persecution against ethnic Rohingya on this earth surface; alternatively, the para-military discriminate and incriminate ever so than former ones. i.e. Extortion of unaffordable money from the most impoverished Rohingya to whom the regime impoverished tactfully and politically since 1962. 

Where the Human rights are for Rohingya despite the fact that they are human beings? 

When can the Rohingya deserve to be valued as equals as the Rakhines do? 

How can the ruthless para-military, Hlun Htine police could shoot direct-targeting to Rohingya at Ohn Daw Gyi and Bawdupha refugee camps in August 9, 2013? 

Similarly, the world wildest and ruthless genocidal Burmese regime led by president Thein Sein plays militaristic roles with international bodies, allowed the UN special envoy for human Rights in Burma Mr. Quintana to investigate the human rights in Burma. Alternatively, the regime paved thorny red-carpets in some areas for Quinta to encounter public unwelcome and violence depreciatively by state-sponsored terrorists. How the most impoverished Rakhines who are incapable even to have food with the cheapest and disgusted Burmese favorite food time Ngha Peeh (fish paste) were dare to protest holding decrial portraits of the dignified UN Envoy Quintana, if the authorities didn't sponsor it ? 

It is a good time for UN, EU, OIC, ASEAN, and NATO, USA to corporately denounce the confidential tactic policies of Burmese Hilterite regime led by President Thein Sein, who prefers for inconsistency of his reiterative words about assurances in his international historic tours. 

As well, the regime’s ever talented and successful policies to consolidate the democracy rules if the regime refrains from such discriminatory policies and diplomatic deceptions. 

When will the regime postpone officially harassment and arbitrarily arrest to every innocent Rohingya, or whoever speaks out against the persecution? It is deplorable that a prominent Rohingya human Rights Activist Kyaw Hla Aung and a Rohingya Facebooker Than Shwe, were detained recently. While the ongoing reform procedures, bell ringing ceaselessly throughout the country Burma.
