The international media continue to broadcast the news of the killing and violence activities against the Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar, which reap the lives of innocent people whose only guilt is their affiliation with the righteous religion of Islam.
What calls for much pain and grief is the fact that there are children and women among the victims, not to mention setting fire to houses and forcing hundreds of citizens to flee their homes.
There is no doubt that such atrocious acts, genocide, and displacement represent crimes, which are totally rejected by the human conscience and deplored by each and every human being, regardless of his/her religion, beliefs and race.
Such acts are totally condemned and are considered horrible violations of human rights, which calls the international community, including its governmental and non-governmental institutions and organizations, to assume its responsibilities to put an end to this human catastrophe, take urgent and tangible procedures to stop the aggressive acts against the innocent individuals, ensure the safety of the individuals and their properties within the Muslim community in Myanmar, secure a safe return for the displaced people to their homes and compensate them as required by the principles of justice, and refer the criminals to justice.
Afterwards, the international community is required to adopt a policy of reconciliation and integration among the Muslim and Buddhist communities.
We, at the Arab Thought Forum, call for a true solution of the present situation and a study of the roots of the problem and the reasons behind discrimination against the Rohingya Muslim community, who are entitled to their vested rights of citizenship.
We also call upon human rights organizations, other competent organizations in the UN, as well as the regional organizations and the civil society to contribute to solving this issue as per their jurisdiction.
As we call the international community to assume its responsibilities in protecting the Muslims of Myanmar and putting an end to the violations against them in this time of hardship, we pay attribute to the stand of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and Al Azhar in this regard, and we call upon all the other related organizations to follow their example and cooperate with them.
We, at the Arab Thought Forum, express our vigorous willingness to cooperate with everyone to get this objective achieved; and we are well-prepared to do everything within our capabilities to protect the humane and ethical principles that all human beings are committed to safeguarding everywhere.
