\u2018Ah Ba\u2019 is proud of you\u2026
So tell me, what kind of news are you writing these days?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
These days I\u2019m posting real-time updates on Muslim violence in France\u2026 and writing all the news about ISIS, the Taliban, Al-Qaeda, Hamas, Fatah, the Chechens, Boko Haram, the Brahui groups \u2014 basically every Muslim extremist or Arab extremist group, Ah Ba.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
But just to ask \u2014 do you know this?
In France, for poor and underprivileged children \u2014 especially for Eastern-European-origin Christian kids \u2014 the Qatar Foundation builds schools and funds their education. Did you ever hear about that?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because of them, many primary-school children in those countries receive better schooling and happier childhoods than our Myanmar children.
Ever heard about the Prince of Bahrain digging wells and distributing food across Central African Christian countries?
Or about how, during the Sri Lankan civil war, almost every poor Buddhist household in the conflict zones had at least one item donated with a Saudi label?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You remember Nargis aid camps, of course.
And when almost the whole town of Mandalay burned in \u201984 \u2014 did you hear who came and repaired Mandalay\u2019s water supply system for free?\u201d**<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you only report extremist violence, then troublemakers will support you \u2014 they\u2019ll use religion to insult others \u2014 and innocent minorities will end up being blamed.
If you keep doing this, you will never find peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because you<\/em> are the one inviting them.
And they will<\/em> come.\u201d**<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You yourself will feel calm and peaceful.
And those merits, that peace, that loving-kindness \u2014 will come back to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Study Julius Streicher \u2014 the media man executed at Nuremberg\u2026
Study Jean Bosco Barayagwizi and Ferdinand Nahimana \u2014 the Rwandan media leaders jailed by the International Tribunal.\u201d**<\/p>\n\n\n\n
