The Rohingya Muslims have often been called the most persecuted minority in the world. They have no state and are unwanted by Myanmar government. Some people believe they are Arab merchants whose ship has demolished near that land and they were to be killed, but started shouting Rahma, which means mercy in Arab language.
Whether the story is true or not, mercy should be used in our world more than this. People should have the right to live without giving consideration to their religion. The Rohingya story reminds me of the Coptic Christians in Egypt whom some fanatics refuse to allow them to pray and persecute them for their Christian belief. Here we hear about Muslims persecute and other Muslims being persecuted.
The difference here is that Copts are the origin in Egypt and were there hundreds of years before the Muslims arrived, and of course Copts have way better situation in most cases than the Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar. At least, they enjoy the Egyptian citizenship and are free and mostly welcomed to migrate and leave their country.
I hope that people in the world show mercy towards one another. The Buddhist government in Mianmar may not believe in God, but Muslim fanatics in Egypt do, and should show mercy for the sake of God. May the world have peace in the name of God.
