The source is the news people.

It's because people think Buddhists are all peaceful and Muslims are all violent. People refuse to accept that ALL groups of people have good and bad.

edit
Over 500 Muslim villages have been incinerated hither-to. Thousands have been exterminated. The persecution of the Burmese Muslims at the hands of the Buddhist mobs is at its full swing. Yet all the human rights organizations have maintained a criminal silence up till now. more than 20,000 Muslims have been killed, tortured and displaced by the extremist Buddhists in Burma's Rakhine province, the worst sectarian killing in this part of the world for many years. The violence had killed 29 people in a day and displaced more than 30,000, said Htein Lin, Secretary of the Ministry for Border Affairs.

Around 2,500 houses have been burnt down, Reuters reported on June 14. Meanwhile, The Telegraph reported on June 21that more than 80 have been killed in Burma

Asker's Comment:
The media only shows news that benefits them. Why do you think Fox forced Simpsons not to make anymore episodes. It is because they are against Fox. How many of you people actually met an American Muslim face to face. Look at the religon, not the people who claim to follow it.

    Who cares! It is like killing nazis. Less homophobics in this world, and sorry to say this, but Burmans are acting kind of logical, they shouldn't be killed, but deported, Muslims do not know how to respect the people of the country they are in (at least they are Muslims).

    Isn't it weird they just kill Muslims and not other religious group? They feel threatened by Islam. In my country it was mandatory for anyone to educate Catholic, that is why there are no Muslims in my country. And I love it SOOO MUCH!

    What about Christians in Nigeria, or religious persecution in Iran?

    Source(s):

    You can thumb me downn... ALLL you want. But it is a reality: Assassination of Armenians and Christian Lebanese in the Ottoman Empire, financiation of the Hezbollah and Al-Qaeda by Islamist nations, the forbidding of Lady Gaga in Indonesia, etc. What about Jews killed in France? And they were kids! Homosexuals killed in Saudi Arabia and Iran, stoning for anyone who leaves the faith. If that is not fascism I do not know how to call it.

    The worlds an evil place.
    What about the 40 to 70 million Tibetans murdered by the Chinese forcing the Dalai Lama to Northen India.

    Evil controls the media of which is one of many pervading powers.

    Evil doesn't only pervade with power, evil also lies and drives in sub-consciousness which explains nightmares, the darkling thoughts of capricious minds and all the different interpretations of hell we hear. (People describe their own hell)
    People try to defeat evil by doing evil and in the process become evil.
    Here we are much less conscious and prone to the entrappings of evil.
    People build empires and sign pacts which allows evil spirits to work through and hijack conscious minds in order to plant it's seeds on earth. (Self destruction)
    Evil is not conscious and powerful Satanic groups protect the devil who resides on earth.

    Media does not care about what happens to Muslims that is why they dont report it. Millions of innocent Muslims died in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq but the media never talks about that either.

    Edit:

    You never said what year this happened. And besides most of the time you don't hear about whats going on in others countries. Until someone mentions it. But why should it matter to you. How many muslims have killed christians, just for being christians?

    people dying in the third world is business as usual. Whats that next to Katie and Tom?

    Also its karma, when Muslims came to India Buddhists were massacred by them. Its a damn shame these "Buddhists" forget about karma. disgusting.

    Even if this is true, you do realize that the media is mainly concerned with the well-being of middle class white people, right?

    The media hates anything that they can't put their own spin on and that looks to them like a 'religious' story and they just don't DO religious stories.

    If no media sources said anything about it, then you wouldn't know it happened to bring it up.
