To our esteemed Chin pastors, Christian brothers and sisters from Chin and Kachin communities, and all fellow advocates for justice and peace,
With deep respect and sincere affection, I write this message not as a criticism, but as a heartfelt appeal for understanding, unity, and compassion. My intention is to strengthen the bonds of friendship between Christians and Muslims in Myanmar and beyond, especially during these critical times when our shared struggle against oppression demands solidarity.
Throughout my life—as a student, doctor, and citizen—I have been blessed with enduring friendships with many kind-hearted Christians. My teachers, colleagues, patients, and mentors have included devoted Christians whose faith and humanity I deeply admire. I studied at Kingswood High School in Kalaw and later at St. Peter’s in Mandalay, where I learned Christian Scripture with reverence and joy. One of my favorite hymns still echoes in my heart: “All things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small…” Such verses remind us of the divine beauty in all creation and the shared spiritual heritage we hold dear.
I also recognize and deeply appreciate the efforts of many Christians, Jews, and Buddhists around the world who have stood up for the rights of the Rohingya people, helping document atrocities and pursue justice in international courts. These acts of compassion and courage reflect the best of our shared values.
In Myanmar, Muslims form the second-largest religious minority after Christians. We worship the same God, honor many of the same Prophets, and hold Jesus in deep love and respect. Our faiths are not adversaries—they are companions in the pursuit of truth, mercy, and justice.
This is a time when unity is not just desirable—it is essential. The military junta thrives on division. If we allow fear, prejudice, or misunderstanding to fracture our communities, we risk weakening the very resistance that seeks to restore dignity and democracy to our nation.
I am aware that in Malaysia, where I currently reside, some individuals have expressed concern over Islamophobic rhetoric from visiting preachers. In a country where Islam is the majority faith, figures known for inflammatory speech—such as Thidagu and Wirathu—have been banned. Migrants here, including many from Myanmar, are focused on survival and family, not on sowing discord. Yet even here, the echoes of divisive sermons have not gone unnoticed.
Therefore, I humbly and respectfully urge my Christian friends, pastors, and community leaders to help guide our shared path forward. Let us gently remind those who may stray into harmful rhetoric that our strength lies in compassion, not condemnation. Let us protect the sacred friendship between Christians and Muslims in Myanmar—a bond built on shared history, mutual respect, and the hope for a better future.
May our voices rise together—not in conflict, but in harmony. May our prayers be united—not in fear, but in faith. And may our actions reflect the divine love that calls us to be peacemakers in a wounded world.
With sincere gratitude and hope, Dr. Ko Ko Gyi @ Abdul Rahman Zafrudin
P.S. I had even acted as one of the WISEMAN during the Christmas celebration concert in Kingswood High School.

THIS IS THE CRIMINAL PASTOR supported by RACIST Youtube Admins.
The whole world failed to understand that most of the Myanmars never really wish to practice a true Democracy based on Equal Rights for all the citizens, regardless of race and religion. They even fail to realize that they are just wishing in their hearts and minds to establish a Bama Buddhist Empire lording over all the Ethnic Minorities and Religious Minorities. Ethnic Bama Buddhists do not wish to compete with the Ethnic and Religious Minorities on the level playing field.
Just think deeply about the following truths:
Most of the Petroleum, Gas, Minerals, and Jades etc are in the Ethnic Minority areas and if they are given autonomy what will be left much for Bamas?
If they gave EQUAL RIGHTS to Burmese-Chinese, Burmese Muslims, Rohingyas etc Bamas would be handicapped in economy.
Religious freedom to Minority Religious Groups: Christians, Muslims and Hindu etc….would jeopardize the upper hand they are taking in all the fields.
On top of those basic facts, most of the Burmese (Buddhist Bamas of Myanmar) on both side of political divide could not hide the feelings of deep seated hatred and antagonism i.e. Islamophobia toward all the Muslims in Myanmar. Sadly not only Ethnic Minority Christians are spreading Islamophobia but FB and Youtube Admins, mostly J-e ws and Christians are giving free hand to them but pulling every strings on Muslims even to rebut them.
