3 In June 2012, sectarian violence between ethnic Arakanese Buddhists and ethnic Rohingya Muslims led to hundreds of deaths and an estimated 100,000 internally displaced. Provincial police did not stop initial violence and supported ongoing attacks by both Arakanese groups and Buddhist monks on Rohingya villages and the denial of humanitarian access to Rohingya areas and camps. In October, sectarian violence erupted again in dozens of coordinated attacks that resulted in beatings, deaths, rapes, the destruction of entire villages, and additional displacement of Rohingya. Rohingya asylum seekers have been turned away from Bangladesh and Thailand, including being forcibly pushed back to sea by Thai military forces. Untold numbers have died attempting to seek refuge in these countries. Despite considerable international attention, the Burmese government, backed by a majority of popular opinion and groups promoting Buddhist Nationalism, continues to restrict humanitarian assistance, sanction clandestine violence through impunity, and encourage refugee flows to other Southeast Asia countries. - United States Commission on International Religious Freedom – Annual Report 2013 - http://www.uscirf.gov/images/2013%20USCIRF%20Annual%20Report%20(2).pdf http://www.uscirf.gov/images/2013%20USCIRF%20Annual%20Report%20(2).pdf

7 Groups espousing religious intolerance under the banner of Islamic orthodoxy repeatedly have targeted religious minorities for intimidation, discrimination, and societal violence. Provincial police and government officials often tolerate these acts, with the government of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono coming under increasing criticism for not doing enough to combat the activities of extremist militias, such as the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) and similar organizations. U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom. October 2012 - Banda Aceh, Aceh: Provincial officials, under pressure from FPI leaders, ordered the closure of six Buddhist temples. Local government officials claimed the religious venues failed to meet permit requirements, although some had been in operation for decades. August 4, 2013 - West Jakarta, Jakarta: A bomb exploded at a Buddhist vihara during a religious service.

9 Some troops came back from an expedition and went to see the Messenger of Allah, blessings and peace upon him, his family and companions. He said: You have come for the best, from the smaller jihad to the greater jihad. Someone said, What is the greater jihad? He said: The servants struggle against his lust.

10 Cruel beings are (everywhere) just as is space: It cant possibly come that Ill have destroyed them (all). But if Ive destroyed this mind of anger alone, Its the same as my having destroyed all those foes.
