| Myanmar to Muslims: Get Out |
| 2014-11-08 |
| h/t Instapundit The Myanmar government has given the estimated one million Rohingya people in this coastal region of the country a dispiriting choice: Prove your family has lived here for more than 60 years and qualify for second-class citizenship, or be placed in camps and face deportation. Instead of being outraged, I'm green with envy---does it mean I've gone to the dark side? |

| #7 I would ban it as it is incompatible with a free and democratic society. |

| #6 DLR: a state is a set of enforceable laws that is a state so if you have islamist fascists immigrating and setting up Sharia you then have enclaves of another state. a colony that is why you must ban sharia |

| #4 Used to be everyone agreed that a state was a group of people with similar ethnic background and similar cultural beliefs. In fact, it used to be agreed that any geographical area that wasn't ethnic and culturally homogeneous was basically ungovernable. Now that's heresy: international socialism arose and tried to replace patriotism and natural ethnic and cultural solidarity with imaginary class solidarity. We've all seen how well that's worked out. Not. But it's still considered 'racist' to point out the obvious. |

| #3 Myanmar (Burma) is 89% Buddhist, 4% Muslim. The remainder of the people are spread across various religions. In the U.S., Muslims make up 0.6% of our population. In Canada, Muslims make up 3.2% of their population. Must be the Burmese believe they have a problem. Canada may be realizing that they have a problem also as they are restricting polygamous people coming in--hint: it ain't Mormons. |
