Travel restrictions make it almost impossible for internally displaced Rohyinga people living in camps in Rakhine state to get medical attention. President Thein Sein traveled to Myanmar's conflict-torn west on Tuesday, October 1, 2013 as a new spate of sectarian violence gripped the state of Rakhine, with police saying Buddhist rioters killed a 94-year-old Muslim woman and torched more than 70 homes.

It is really bad as Budhism preaches non-violence but they became angry throughout world after the Talibans destroyed Budha statues which were monuments in Afghanistan. Muslim World should also keep in mind the sentiments of other religions. However, we should condemn all type of violence and killing of innocent persons irrespective of any religion.

And I thought, Buddhism was a religion of peace. But, I thought the same of Islam and the followers of Gandhi.

@Ravi Ingale from Pune:
Possibly you are indicating something wrong with Muslin. Can you tell me what was wrong with Hindus in Noakhali in the year 1946 when Muslim killed 5000 Hindus. Ethnic cleansing and murdering innocent is against Quranic teaching. We are ashamed for our past misdid but you are justifying yours.
