In an interview Jahangir Mohammed, the director of the Center for Muslims Affairs, in Manchester, and Carol Gould, author and political commentator from London, to discuss the plight of Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar and the refusal of some countries to accept people from the community.
Mohammed says Myanmar’s government is responsible for the plight of Rohingya Muslims, and the state has been engaged in persecution, genocide attempts and cleansing of the Muslim population.
He maintains that Rohingya Muslims have no supporter in the world and even Muslim countries refuse to settle them in their lands, calling on the Muslim world to intervene and make proper efforts in a bid to relieve the sufferings of the Rohingyas.
The world also seems not to care about the fate of the Rohingya Muslims who are under constant threats in Myanmar, he argues, noting that if such a horrible condition was happening to non-Muslim communities around the world, the oppressed people would be on the headlines in the newspapers day after day.
The political expert says that what has happened to the Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar is not different from the ISIL atrocities against other people in Syria.
Gould says, for his part, that it is particularly concerning that Muslim countries are turning the Rohingya Muslims away, adding that the international community and especially the United States are not doing anything for the Rohingya Muslims.
