Rohingyas will be like the Palestinians, demonised and persecuted with impunity and with twisted morality. In the recent melee, the real loser—morally, that is—seems to be Bangladesh.

Sadly, instead of trying to find a permanent solution for the Rohingyas, Bangladesh is opting to do the most despicable thing, joining the persecutors in their killing mission. Myanmar has tried violence as remedy for the Rohingya issue for the last several decades with no effect, and more violence is unlikely to give them anything better. However, Myanmar's addiction to violence drives home an important message: solution will not come in this way. It has to come from outside.

When a person has this capacity but their only chief concern is themselves then it can have detrimental effects on humanity.

    In “De-Islamizing Sikhaphobia: Deconstructing Structural Racism in Wisconsin Gurdwara Shooting 10/12”, Birk, Gill, and Heer (2015) examine the media portrayal of the shooting of a Sikh gurdwara in 2012 where a gunman killed six individuals and injured four others. The media representation of the Sikh community after this event demonstrates how racialized individuals are Othered by the media, especially through the homogenization of brown bodies, despite the diversity of this racialized group (Birk et al. 2015:98). Many Canadians and Americans see the Muslim and Sikh communities as the same, and as a result, many acts of violence have been committed against Sikhs although the intended target was Muslims, particularly after the September 11th…

    Many regimes through violent insurgencies, massacre and abuse the rights of the masses in order to keep their power and instill fear, live in a dictatorship. For instance, Burma depicts the struggle that their populace faces due to living under the control of a military dictatorship. Burma's populace are constantly reminded by the use of force that they are not valued and that their only purpose is to serve their ruler. Another example is Chile, a nation reigned by a military dictator as well, and used terror tactics and force to annihilate any opposition that had potential to pose a threat.

This shows that Islamophobia is a real problem because the girl was not doing any harm to anyone, and somebody made an assumption and hurt her.…
