মিয়ানমারে পাইকারী হারে মুসলিম হত্যা এবং এথনিক ক্লিনজিং এর জন্য দায়ী বৌদ্ধ ভিক্ষুরা।

YANGON, Myanmar (AP) — Myanmar's government has banned this week's issue of Time magazine because of a cover story about a Buddhist monk accused of fueling recent religious violence in the country.
State television announced Tuesday that the decision was made "in order to prevent the recurrence of racial and religious riots."
The magazine's cover carries a photo of a Buddhist monk, Wirathu, with the words "The Face of Buddhist Terror." Wirathu is a leader of a radical movement of monks that preaches that the country's small Muslim minority threatens racial purity and national security. He has called for restrictions on marriages between Buddhists and Muslims, and for boycotts of Muslim-owned businesses.

Nearly 250 people have died and tens of thousands, mostly Muslims, have fled their homes in religious violence in the past year. Buddhist mobs have marched through villages burning houses and mosques and brandishing machetes and clubs.
A special committee led by the home minister to deal with the recent violence said the Time article could damage government efforts to build trust among people of different religions, state television said.
