Yes, you can edit the "Asia" in my post and insert pretty much any part of the world and it's accurate.

It sucks, I have friends from Myanmar and they are some of the most beautiful and friendly people.

It won't make the news, and if Muslims are getting killed they won't report it. And if they do they will sensationalize it and make them look like uncivilized people. They do this all the time, you should see through the lies in the media.

Exactly. Does anybody remember the Indian Ocean tsunami that affected many countries like Thailand? The only reason it got so much media coverage because there were so many western tourists who were victims too. In fact, they were the ones who got the most attention.

The official name is now Myanmar and it's a Southeast Asian country. Near South Asia.
