Burma pogroms

From Abdallah: It should be noted that some of the less "sophisticated" news sources, like NBC, have been calling the pogroms "Buddhist-Muslim violence", "sectarian unrest", and "clashes" (in reference to last year's pogrom, "that left hundreds of people dead and more than 100,000 displaced — almost all of them Muslim").
Americans cannot comprehend that Buddhists have been the perpetrators of violence (in various contexts) in Southeast Asia for centuries."
