Sad days, I’m afraid. There will be a need for Burma’s online community to play some role in healing the wounds. There has been too much nastiness, to my mind.

In one sign that passions are running high, the Web site of the Eleven Media Group, a publisher of one of the country’s leading weekly newspapers, displayed a string of hateful comments about Muslims from readers.
“Terrorist is terrorist,” wrote one reader who signed in as Maungpho. “Just kill them.”
“His articles on democratic transition in Myanmar are negative. The editors of The New York Times should examine his articles carefully. We do not write about religion or race. We are reporting the news covered by our reporters on the scene to prevent undesirable outcomes due to inaccurate coverage of the riots by foreign media. At a time like this, we cannot accept such kind of criticism. It may cause misconceptions about the EMG among our international readers. We object to Thomas Fuller and the board of editors of The New York Times,” said Chief Editor Wai Phyo of the Weekly Eleven News Journal.”
“The EMG has allowed its readers to comment on the riots with complete freedom to reflect the public opinion over the latest developments in Rakhine State on its website.”
“When the discovery of a “Rohingya body” was announced Thursday on the Facebook page of the Eleven Media Group, one of the largest private media organizations in Myanmar, one reader, Pyaephyo Aung, wrote that he had been “waiting for this kind of news for a long time.” Another reader, Ko Nyi, used a racial slur and said, “It’s not even enough that he is dead.””
When the Eleven Media Group reported Thursday that a woman’s corpse was spotted floating in a river, but did not disclose the ethnicity of the victim, one reader said he was confused. “I don’t know if I should be happy or sad,” he said, “because I don’t know what nationality she is.”
……..according to the United Nations, the government has allowed many of them to vote, including in the country’s first elections after military rule, in 2010.

“Everyone was quite disgruntled at the warning,” said a Yangon-based editor, who declined to be identified, adding that most domestic media had written very little about the violence.

….. and provide an alternative to the irresponsible, racist, and inflammatory language circulating in recent days via various social media platforms over the Internet.
Inter Press Service News Agency ကေတာ့ ဒီလို ေရးသားထားပါတယ္။ (http://goo.gl/rIfHs)
This online outburst by Buddhists inside the country and in the diaspora, “openly asserting that action tantamount to genocide is acceptable”, has surprised even long-time human rights champions in Myanmar.
Recall with humility, then, that conflicts between Buddhist and Muslims killed several innocents and destroyed more than thousand of worshiping places. Hence, enough of misinformation and discrimination. Muslims and Buddhists must actively work together to achieve what both peoples want — peace.
ဒါေၾကာင့္ ေအရွပစိဖိတ္ေလ့လာေရးဌာန ရဲ ့ တာ၀န္ယူတင္ဆက္သူျဖစ္ၿပီး ဒီရိုဟင္ဂ်ာအေရးမွာ neutral ေနရာကေန ပါ၀င္ႏိုင္တဲ့ Nicholas Farrelly ရဲ႕ “Intolerance, Islam and the Internet in Burma today” မွာ ေပးထားတဲ့ မွတ္ခ်က္ကို သံုးသပ္ပါမယ္။
Nicholas ရဲ႕မွတ္ခ်က္မွာ ဒီလုိေဖာ္ျပထားပါတယ္။
It appears likely that this episode of political conflict will have all sorts of implications — both practical and rhetorical, but also for analysts and academics.
With that in mind this AFP reportis likely to prove relevant. It provides some sense of how outside observers conceive of the online rhetoric associated with western Burma’s political conflict.
ဒီေဆာင္းပါးမွာလည္း Nicholas က ဒီလိုဆိုထားျပန္ပါတယ္။
“Recent events in western Burma have created a hurricane of hate in the online sphere,” Nicholas Farrelly, a research fellow at the Australian National University, told AFP. “Tragically, contested accounts of the clashes provide fuel for hardliners on both sides.”
One Facebook page called the “Kalar beheading gang”, which has over 500 ‘likes’, has an illustration of a grim reaper with an Islamic symbol on its robe on a blood-spattered background and explicit images purporting to be of victims of the unrest.
The Norway-based Democratic Voice of Burma reported on Tuesday that its English and Burmese websites had been hacker group called Blink, thought to have originated from Singapore and Russia.
“In order to cleanse our religious land, sometimes we have to bloody our hands,” read a message on Blink’s website, according to the DVB, which said it “can be translated as a threat aimed at the area’s Muslim minority”.
“The Burmese public are believing one side of the story, which is that Rohingya are not Burmese, are not citizens and are just Bengali settlers trying to take their land,” said Phil Robertson, of New York-based Human Rights Watch.
Social media provided “frankly chilling racist diatribe inciting violence,” he added. “It is a recipe for disaster.
ယခုတဖန္ အလ္-ဂ်ဇီးရားတင္ျပခ်က္ကို ေလ့လာၾကပါတယ္။ အလ္ဂ်ဇီးယားက ထိုင္းႏိုင္ငံအေျခစိုက္ အလြတ္သတင္းေထာက္ Francis Wade ရဲ႕ေဆာင္းပါးကို ေဖာ္ျပေပးထားတာပါ။ ေခါငး္စဥ္ကေတာ့ “Islamophobia and the fear of ‘the other’ in Myanmar” ၊ “ျမန္မာႏိုင္ငံထဲက အစၥလာမ္မိုဖိုးဘီးယား၊ အစၥလာမ္ေၾကာက္ေရာဂါႏွင့္ တပါးသူကို ေၾကာက္ရြ႔ံျခင္းမ်ား” ဆိုၿပီးေတာ့ျဖစ္ပါတယ္။”
Myanmar’s Muslims enjoy none of the educational or international prestige that is widely associated with the country’s Christian minorities…..While Kachin and Karen Christians have suffered atrocious treatment I think there is at least some mainstream Myanmar Buddhist respect for their cultures and religion. Such respect is rarely accorded to Muslims.
အလ္ဂ်ဇီးရားရဲ႕ေဆာင္းပါးပါ “The Other” ၊ တပါးသူဆိုတဲ့ ေခါငး္စဥ္ခြဲေအာက္မွာေတာ့ ဒီလိုေဖာ္ျပထားပါတယ္။
Treatment of Muslims as the ‘other’ persists despite the country’s push to embrace the outside world and everything it offers. There is something of a contradiction then in the population’s desire to become global players, which will see it interacting far more with non-Myanmar, non-Buddhist ethnicities. In Arakan state, where tension between Buddhists and Muslims often spills over into violence, hypocrisy is also evident in attempts by Arakanese to goad public opinion against the Rohingya in the name of “nationalism”. ….
