In the street, rampaging Buddhists carrying clubs smash the furniture that's been dragged from gutted shop fronts. Flaming petrol bombs are hurled into homes and mosques. Muslims are brutally attacked: "They beat Dad with an iron pipe". The spiritual leader of these Buddhists who have turned their backs on non-violence is Ashin Wirathu, who preaches hate and intolerance towards Muslims and blames them for the violence. "They target women every day and rape them. Do we need to protect the religion or not?" And there are claims that Wirathu is just a front to a bigger agenda. "He's not just simply a whacky neo-Nazi shaven-head monk running wild. He has the full force of the entire armed forces behind this campaign." As one religious leader points out, it looks like the state is manufacturing the crisis as a way of re-instating the dictatorship. "In my opinion this is just a political game.".

The Rohingya people are a stateless Indo-Aryan-speaking people who reside in Rakhine State, Myanmar (also known as Burma). There were an estimated
about 1 million Rohingya living in Myanmar before the 2016-17 crisis. On 22 October 2017, the UN reported that an estimated 603,000 refugees from Rakhine, Myanmar, had crossed the border into Bangladesh since August 25, 2017. This number increased to 624,000 by November 2, 2017, and over 625,000 by December 6, 2017. The majority are Muslim while a minority are Hindu.
Buddhism and violence refers to acts of violence and aggression committed by Buddhists with religious, political, or socio-cultural motivations, as
well as self-inflicted violence by ascetics or for religious purposes. Buddhism is generally seen as among the religious traditions least associated with violence. However, in the history of Buddhism, there have been acts of violence directed, promoted, or inspired by Buddhists.
Early Islam or the history of Islam is believed, by most historians to have originated with Muhammad's mission in Mecca and Medina at the start of the
7th century CE. Although Muslims regard this time as a return to the original faith passed down by the Abrahamic prophets, such as Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Solomon, and Jesus, with the submission (Islam) to the will of God. According to the traditional account, the Islamic prophet Muhammad began receiving what Muslims consider to be divine revelations in 610 CE, calling for submission to the one God, preparation for the imminent Last Judgement, and charity for the poor and needy.
