Do you have a link for that? I thought it was the military junta government that was killing the Karens?

Link, yes.

Whose been responsible? Both.

Also, several families in SE Bangladesh this past Spring were forced to flee their homes -- also at the hands of Buddhists.

It's been in Burma where the Buddhist monks have been targeting the Karen Christian people, driving them out of their homes; setting homes to fire; threatening to wipe them out.

I searched through articles posted on FR under the keyword burma going several years back and didn't find any article titles about the Karens. It doesn't seem to have gotten much notice on FR. I pinged a few FReepers who know more about Burma. Perhaps they can comment.

That article says that the government was forcing the Karens to convert to Buddhism.
