For years, I have written about fascistic tendencies of the leaders of the so-called pro-democracy movement in Burma. Through their venomous and hateful writings and personal abuses, I saw firsthand how racist and fascist they were. They behaved like Nazis of the Hitler era. I knew that they were an insincere group who are no better than the military regime that has ruled Burma for nearly half a century. I felt that if put into power, they would carry out massacre of 'others' that are racially and religiously different than they.
The current pogrom in western Burma (Arakan state) in which thousands of Rohingyas have been lynched to death by the Buddhist Rakhines, aided by government forces, once again proved my thesis that the Rakhine leaders and their scholars are war criminals. They continue to live in their feudal savage past of intolerance.
