#2 there should be a permanent solution to the crisis

There is but I doubt that abolishing Islam is in the cards.

#3 Just because they invaded enough to get an ID doesn't make them a national.

#4 Who are the Rohinga? Al Jazerra's view.

According to al Jazerra:

The Arakan Rohingya National Organisation has said, "Rohingyas have been living in Arakan from time immemorial," referring to the area now known as Rakhine.

But then it says:

During the more than 100 years of British rule (1824-1948), there was a significant amount of migration of labourers to what is now known as Myanmar from today's India and Bangladesh. Because the British administered Myanmar as a province of India, such migration was considered internal, according to Human Rights Watch (HRW).

The migration of labourers was viewed negatively by the majority of the native population.

After independence, the government viewed the migration that took place during British rule as "illegal, and it is on this basis that they refuse citizenship to the majority of Rohingya," HRW said in a 2000 report.

This has led many Buddhists to consider the Rohingya to be Bengali, rejecting the term Rohingya as a recent invention, created for political reasons.

So maybe India and Bangladesh are the "permanent solution". I would say Pakistan as well but that really would be cruel.

Palestinians. Kosovars. And, I wonder what Muslims in EUrope are going to call themselves in a few years.
