U.S. almost doubles aid for Rohingya in Bangladesh, Myanmar (pro- Islam )
Reuters ^ | SEPTEMBER 25, 2018 | David Brunnstrom, Michelle Nichols

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The United States almost doubled its aid for displaced Rohingya Muslims in Bangladesh and Myanmar, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley announced on Monday as she pushed for U.N. investigators to brief the U.N. Security Council on the crisis. “The military are at fault, the fact finding mission came out and gave clear examples of what’s happened,” Haley told reporters on Monday as she left a ministerial meeting in New York on the sidelines of the annual U.N. gathering of world leaders. “These weren’t terrorists. This was the military that did this to them. These people just want a place to live.”

A U.S. government investigation report, reviewed by Reuters, has found that the military waged a planned, coordinated campaign of mass killings, gang rapes and other atrocities against the Rohingya, but it stopped short of describing the crackdown as genocide or crimes against humanity.

“It’s time for the international community to move. I did also request the French and the British that I think we need to bring the fact finding mission and have that reported in the Security Council,” Haley said.

She said the United States would give an extra $185 million in humanitarian aid, of which $156 million would go to refugees and host communities in Bangladesh, taking its total for the crisis to nearly $389 million in the past year.

Haley had said last week that U.S. President Donald Trump would “lay down a marker” on U.S. foreign aid during his speech to the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday and that Washington would not be generous to countries “that try and stop the U.S. or say they hate America.”

Indonesia and several other countries seem to keep their Muslim populations under control.

The Muslim Rohingya, illegal immigrants from Bangladesh, had become so numerous in the coastal state that they were threatening to take over and seceed. Taking control of offshore oil with them. The army went in and expelled all of them back to Bangladesh. Now they’re all butt-hurt.

Muslim management only becomes an international “crisis” when a non-Muslim country attempts it.

Well, these Muslims have a “place to live”...it’s called Bangladesh. They should peacefully return there and stop their quite illegal invasion of their non-Muslim neighboring country.

And why is this our business? Burma vs. Muslims. Let’s watch from afar and not spend a penny. If we have money for this, we have money for the wall.

You could say the same thing about the South Side of Chicago, parts of Detroit, Oakland, Compton, Little Haiti and 100 other places in this country.

Instead of doubling it, we should cut it to $0. Let their fellow Muslims take care of them. If they’ve got enough money to bankroll Al Qaeda and Islamic State, then they’ve got enough money to take care of the Bangladeshis in Burma.
