A Plea from Myanmar’s Muslims<\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

General Tun Myat Naing, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daw Aung San Suu Kyi<\/p>\n\n\n\n


(After Ananda Thuriya\u2019s final verse)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1\/<\/strong>
Must Muslims fall, Rohingyas erased\u2014
Their voices crushed, their sky denied\u2014
For Buddhists, Bamar to ascend, embraced?
Is this the wheel on which you ride,
Proclaimed by those in wrathful pride?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2\/<\/strong>
In gilded halls where power gleams,
Surrounded by ambition’s beams,
Min Aung Hlaing, Daw Suu, shine so bright\u2014
Yet flickers every borrowed light.
Like bubbles burst upon the deep,
They too shall join the eternal sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3\/<\/strong>
If mercy blessed the Muslim name,
And spared the noose, absolved the shame\u2014
Still, every soul its course must run,
Beneath the gaze of the Eternal One.
To Allah all return, as Truth decrees,
Upon our knees or lifted by the breeze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4\/<\/strong>
With palms upturned, in prayer I speak:
Perhaps in Samsara’s wheel we’ll meet.
No vengeance stirs within this breast,
But faith endures, put to the test.
To Allah, Witness of the scarred and scarred,
This final truth I breathe unmarred:
His Scales alone weigh wrong and right\u2014<\/em>
Impermanence dissolves your might.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

 1. Buddha’s Core Teachings on Religious Pluralism<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buddha explicitly emphasized respect for all places of worship as sanctuaries of spiritual pursuit. This principle stems from the Dhammapada’s<\/em> insistence on non-harm (ahimsa<\/em>) and compassion (karuna<\/em>) 7. Historically, Emperor Ashoka\u2014whose edicts shaped Southeast Asian Buddhism\u2014decreed: “All religions should reside everywhere, for all seek self-control and purity of heart”<\/em> 9. Yet Myanmar’s military (Tatmadaw<\/em>) and nationalist groups like MaBaTha have weaponized Buddhism to justify denied repair of destroyed over 400 mosques and Hindu temples since 2017 37.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Military Hypocrisy: Buddha vs. Genocide<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senior General Min Aung Hlaing positions himself as a “protector of Buddhism” while overseeing the burning of Rohingya villages and mosques in Rakhine State 67. This directly violates the Vinaya Pitaka’s<\/em> prohibition against violence by those claiming Buddhist authority. Monks aligned with MaBaTha even distributed posters titled “Methods to Exterminate Kalars [derogatory for Muslims]”<\/em> during sermons 7, twisting dharma into a tool of hatred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. NUG\/AA Complicity in Religious Erasure<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though positioning themselves as resistance forces, both Aung San Suu Kyi’s NUG and the Arakan Army (AA) have tacitly endorsed Buddhist supremacy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
