Persecuted Muslim minority on the border between a Muslim and a non-muslim state. How long before they want their own country and UN support for doing so? The BBC seem all for it.
No it's not Palestine, Kosovo, Kashmir or Bradford but Burma this time.

I am missing the bit where the BBC says it is for or against one thing or another. Persecuted Muslim minority on the border between a Muslim and a non-muslim state. How long before they want their own country and UN support for doing so? The BBC seem all for it.

Are you making up bias again?
Give them time, Colonial.
Heretic
Not defending the Burmese here, but it seems to be a common theme where a Muslim state borders a non-Muslim state. We're persecuted, help us! Until they're in a position to do some persecution of their own.
In this case a group of Muslims raping and murdering a Burmese Buddhist woman seems to be the catalyst, but I somehow doubt it was an isolated case.

And the bus of Muslims that was blown up, killing 10? I'm no fan of the religious, but there are innocents in every conflict, and garnering points against Muslims because some of them are fleeing violence is just ridiculous. Burma has a recent history of utter, utter horrific violence.

Brilliant. Heretic

They just have to mention something as, well, news (as it is) and you think they are biased.
No. Not brilliant. The opposite. Pathetic.
Given their situation and the way in which the former Junta operated (and to be honest still does operate) they are a persecuted minority. They are denied status as citizens. Retribution against innocent people who happened to share the same religion from those peace loving Buddhists caused a lot of the issue.
Your own bias is showing far more than any other bias.
Bias - the word we use when somebody says something that doesn't accord with our views on the subject
Regime - the word we use when we don't like some other country's government
Terrorist - the word we use when we don't agree with the cause that the opposing lot are fighting us about.
The joys of the English language

It was the video that annoyed me more. Can't find it now.
But yes, strong assumption in favour of BBC bias.

The point wasn't really BBC bias, silly comment. More about the Muslim habit of generating a crisis in any area where they become a majority, and then crying persecution.
So people being killed in a country where historically, recent and not so recent, people have been killed in droves, is 'generating a crisis... And then crying persecution"? Can we just agree you have anti-Muslim feelings, and call it a day?

So, ethnic minority in military junta that aren't recognised as citizens who are treated as less than property are the ones who are causing all the problems?
