Edward sent me this: "I noticed in your blog posting that you criticized the Dali Lama for not
speaking about the anti Muslim violence in Burma. Well actually he has spoken
out two or three times over the last year.

April 2013
August 2012
The Dali Lama's public letter to Suu Kyi about the violence in Arakan (Rakhine) state was almost completely ignored by both Burmese opposition and state controlled media. The Dali Lama is ofcourse from a different branch of Buddhism which is practiced by very few people in Burma but he is still relatively well known in the country thanks to Voice of America and other foreign funded media groups.
Meanwhile Suu Kyi's spokesperson just told reporters that the Rohingya do not exist. Reminds me of Golda Meir. See here "
