Support for the Buddhist terrorist Wirathu grows
Our world is increasingly becoming difficult for Muslim minorities around the globe. Even Muslim majorities in many of the Muslim countries are not safe from the harassment and detention of the current regimes, if they are perceived a threat to the regime and its agenda of uninterrupted, undemocratic/authoritarian rule.
In Myanmar, as part of a very sinister Buddhist national program, more than a million Muslims, mostly Rohingya, have been forced to seek refuge outside. Many are now housed inside Cox's Bazar in southern Bangladesh, which may likely become their permanent abode for a foreseeable future. The Buddhist fascist monk Wirathu played a major role in their extinction internally and exodus to external world with his toxic, venomous appeal to the Buddhist monks and mobs to ensuring the uproot of the targeted minority. Without the government backing, he could not have mobilized his hateful, savage Buddhists to doing the heinous crimes against unarmed civilians. Naturally, his criminal activities have drawn much criticism from the world community who have demanded that he be tried for such crimes. He has been as asset to the racist government of Suu Kyi for having fulfilled the long-term objectives of the regime to purify the Myanmar soil of non-Buddhists, esp. Muslims. Now, with international support for Suu Kyi waning, Wirathu is viewed as a liability and has recently been charged with sedition. But already the harm has been done and the ferocious tiger is no longer in the cage, and as such it is not going to be easy to put it in the cage where it belongs.

At least 300 of Wirathu’s supporters gathered outside the Shwedagon Pagoda in Myanmar’s biggest city, Yangon.
“He is criticizing the government openly and publicly as a citizen,” nationalist activist Win Ko Ko Lat told reporters. “Using the sedition act against him is entirely unfair,” he said.
The arrest warrant for Wirathu was issued by a Yangon court on Tuesday. Police have not set out the exact grounds for the warrant under a law that prohibits bringing “hatred or contempt” or exciting disaffection toward the government.
At recent rallies, Wirathu has accused the government of corruption and criticized it for trying to change the constitution in a way that would reduce the power of the military.
The military ruled Myanmar for decades until the start of a transition to civilian rule in 2011. Wirathu is the most prominent of the nationalist monks to emerge as a growing political force since then.
Wirathu is based in the central city of Mandalay, but neither police nor his supporters said where they currently believed him to be.
In fiery speeches, Wirathu has often targeted Rohingya Muslims, more than 700,000 of whom fled an army crackdown in Rakhine State in 2017 that U.N. investigators said was carried out with “genocidal intent”.
He has denied accusations of inciting violence.
The charges under the British colonial-era sedition law carry a prison sentence of up to three years.
