Interesting: this was number 2 on the home page. Time to read the comments and it disappeared from the site. It's not in the first 300 posts of HN. It's left only in the New section (page 2 now) and Search. Was it flagged by too many people or removed by administrators?

To everyone in discussion here, please ask yourself: what is your goal? It pays to revisit the guidelines, particularly on hot, divisive topics. Are you trying to understand the others you're talking with? To express your opinion? To convince the "other side"? If you're not here for useful, constructive, civil, and respectful discussion, please just refrain from commenting. As the mods repeatedly point out, HN is not the place for ideological flamewars. There are places elsewhere on the internet for that.
Anyone who understand Bengali should listen to the "Rohingya" language. The similarities are unmistakable, even if you can't understand either. If they really have been in that area since the 8th century - an assertion made by Soros' HRW, and mindlessly repeated by the media - you'd expect the language to diverge a lot more. They are clearly not native to Myanmar. Also, it's conveniently forgotten that they triggered…
That's a very weak argument. Eg., the Catalan language is more closely related to French than Spanish ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallo-Romance_languages ). But the Catalans are certainly "native" to Spain, in that they've lived within the current Spanish borders since before Spain existed. And obviously, someone not being "native" to an area doesn't justify killing or terrorizing them.
They trickle in, respect no boundaries and no laws.
Now if they integrated and contributed to the regions culture and economy, that would go a long way towards their acceptance. But that's against the tenents of their religion/culture/ideology and it's demonstrated by their violence.
I'd quote Karl Popper on tolerating the intolerant, but it would be another "weak argument."
You can't drag people who insist on living by pre-medieval norms into the 21st century.

Likely both. The "overheated discussion detector" may have kicked in as well.

Thanks for bringing this up on this forum. There's another conspiracy theory circulating in the region that the devil Noble winner is doing this on instructions of US because the area Rohingyans live is enriched with valuable minerals including Jade stones. The locals are being killed and pushed away from the area, Americans will land and then keep an eye on China. China on other hand trying best not to give US or UN…

Clearly you haven't lived in close proximity to these people. They trickle in, respect no boundaries and no laws. Now if they integrated and contributed to the regions culture and economy, that would go a long way towards their acceptance.

Totally agree. And much of the violence being attributed to Burmese forces is just hearsay attributed to Islamists. Western media/NGOs seems to buy it at face value and support these said Islamist, but hey they also supported ISIS affiliates in Syria against secular Asad regime so that's not surprising to me at all. This apart from the fact that anyone from subcontinent will tell you that these are not Rohingyas, but…
They are Bangladeshi Muslims, much like the "Assamese" flooding the labor market in South India right now. Get ready for your comment to be down voted into oblivion, the usual reaction by ignorant SJWs. This place is getting to be as toxic as Reddit.

The amount of pro-genocide comments here, on Reddit, etc. makes me lose my faith in humanity. Decades down the line, people will wonder how such nominally reasonable and interconnected people could develop such hateful, vile opinions.
Genocide is very strong term, the fact that you use it in such a light way for a law and order situation seems to suggest something else. > Generally speaking, genocide does not necessarily mean the immediate destruction of a nation, except when accomplished by mass killings of all members of a nation. It is intended rather to signify a coordinated plan of different actions aiming at the destruction of essential foun…
