<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->The military regime in Burma is intent on wiping out Christianity in the country, according to claims in a secret document believed to have been leaked from a government ministry. Entitled "Programme to destroy the Christian religion in Burma", the incendiary memo contains point by point instructions on how to drive Christians out of the state.
The text, which opens with the line "There shall be no home where the Christian religion is practised", calls for anyone caught evangelising to be imprisoned. It advises: "The Christian religion is very gentle â identify and utilise its weakness."<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd--><!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Human rights groups claim that the treatment meted out to Christians, who make up six per cent of the population, is part of a wider campaign by the regime, also targeted at ethnic minority tribes, to create a uniform society in which the race and language is Burmese and the only accepted religion is Buddhism.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->Burma is considered an inconvertible country, the foothold of christianity there is so minimal, they need all the funds and missionaries that they can get. No one knows what is happening in Burma. I think it not improbable that christoterrorists working in the telegraph or whoever came up with this news article - seems like manufactured news, an advertisement to attract all those missionaries-on-fire-for-christ, who love nothing better than proselytising in countries where they think their lives will be in terrible danger. It's christoislamism's sado-masochistic fetish: many southern Baptist and other evangelicals in the US love the idea of christians being persecuted (they feel it vindicates their faith), and the worse this imagined persecution is, the more attractive it is to them.
More indication that this news is manufactured by a christoterrorist advertising Burma as a worthwhile challenge for the harvest:
'The Christian religion is very gentle' - ask Buddhists in Korea, Taiwan, Thailand or Japan whether they think this is remotely true. All those I know swear this is the most violent religion (the Thai think Islam is just the same). Methinks people in Buddhist Burma wouldn't believe this 'christianity is gentle' nonsense either, and the so-called document they found is probably one of the many christian forgeries: a cry of international colonial help to secure Burma for christ.
Buddhism is the very gentle religion in the comparison (the natural religions of southern and eastern parts of Asia are in general). Only a christian would pretend that 'the gentle christian religion' is being ruthlessly persecuted by the 'evil Buddhist religion'.
The Burmese army is purging Burma of many people, but I doubt they care enough about christianity to bother targetting them specifically on account of their 'gentle' religion. Christianity is often marked as an undesirable, but not exclusively so. Only christians feel especially selected for what they consider 'an honour'. Self-conceit.
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->The document, shown to The Sunday Telegraph by human rights groups,<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->Most of these 'human rights groups' are just the usual lying christian rights groups. Why won't The Telegraph spell out the name of this organisation? They probably created a forged document, out of frustration that even in a time of war and turmoil in Buddhist Burma, they are unable to make rice christians.
The whole story is so convenient: 'Help brave Christians of the world! Evil Buddhist Burma is still mostly unconverted. And it is trying to cruelly exterminate/drive out christians from their country, trying to make it completely Buddhist again. (Implicit All those who know that the Good News must be spread no matter the consequences, need to sneak into unconverted Burma and stem the tide.'

In the past year, an estimated 27,000 members of the predominantly Christian Karen tribe were driven from their homes in eastern Burma.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->What is this hobby that the christian west has that it always needs to identify numerous tribes, in all the unconverted Asian, African and South American nations. In India, the various Hindu communities are 'ethnically distinct' and are not Hindu or related to the rest. Each 'caste' (I suppose they mean jati) is a separate ethnicity to the christosracists. In Vietnam, they identify numerous 'tribes' yet again - all 'animist' (actually part of a long-standing Vietnamese natural religion often with significant Hindu and Buddhist influences), meaning they can be converted separately. Then in Indonesia, Papua New Guinea - same thing. Nepal too: the 'upper castes' are the 'Hindoos'. Then there's some who are Buddist. But the others in Nepal are labelled the 'indigenous, individual ethnic tribes' who are all 'animistics' - in christian parlance: they want converting to (communism then) christianity. And now in Burma: the christoterrorists tell the world that the Burmese want to create an ethnically and religiously homogeneous country. And they equate ethnicity and religion too: the christian Karen tribe. So, were they christian forever? No - the tribe was specifically targetted for conversion at some point. It's probably a legitimate tribe that was induced into christoterrorism. Doesn't make the tribe itself christian. It ought to be described as 'The Karen tribe, all whose members are now converted to Ze True Religion'.
Yes there are many tribes all over the world, especially in ancient countries and continents, untouched by christoislamic terrorism (or those that survived this). But then, Europe is one and all tribes: Germany is wholly made up of tribes that only got together very, very recently. But they are all Germans aren't they? No one questions their religious or ethnic affiliation on account of their separate historic tribal affiliation?
So why is it only us happy unconverted people get labelled as 'separate ethnic groups', therefore each having 'identities separate from the rest', which somehow apparently translates into 'separate religious identities' - making the unconverted nations seem disparate entities only held together by inertia - waiting for the saving 'grace' of jeebus (actually, this is harvesting 'graze' by cannibal christoterrorists) to bring christianity which we must imagine will 'finally' unify these countries. Christianity is always divisive, it's how it operates. It always identifies tribes (only among unconverted people), puts people into separate boxes so it can dissect them one by one. Hateful religion.
Texas used to be an independent republic until recently. There are some separatists there who want their state to become independent again. Using christoterrorist logic: the Texan tribe obviously wants to be free from America which is going towards a uniform christian identity. Now all that is required is to forge some document to this effect, set up several human rights groups that will remain anonymous in news reports, and then send out a call for world Buddhists to descend on Texas to prevent the Buddhists there from being persecuted and to ensure further expansion of Buddhist Dharma. (Actually, this version is largely true. There is a significant Buddhist presence of locals in Texas and not all of them feel at home there anymore because of christoterrorism.)

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Especially pay attention to how he (missionary, christoterrorist) learns Hindu music to plagiarize into "Indian Christian Music"<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->There is no Indian christian music, no Indian christian culture. There is only christians in India with appropriated culture. Their religion being historically alien to our country, and the continent (unless one includes the Middle-East in 'Asia'), they have developed nothing themselves in India or elsewhere in Asia that was not stolen from us or the other natural religionists of Asia. Indian christians want to be seen as having a culture that westerners think of as highly-cultured, innovative, unique, local. There is no such thing, of course, so the christoterroristsfeel it incumbent upon them to create a better and deeper identity for their christian selves by (besides resorting to name theft) stealing other aspects of specifically Hindu culture. But even the knowledgeable people in the west are laughing at them: at their appropriated names, clothes, pretences to Hindu culture they wrongly think is 'Indian' or even have the gall to label as 'Indian christian'.
Why don't they invent something instead, or failing that, why don't they just merge into western culture, which they after all (wrongly) imagine has something to do with christianity.
