Introduction

According to Wikipedia there are 1,3 Million Rohingya Muslims living in Burma (Myanmar). This is 2,5% of the countries total population. In addition to this there are other muslim ethnicities in Myanmar; the Kamans, some Chinese (Panthay) and Indian Muslims and muslims of Malay origin.

The Rohingyas live in the West of Burma, in the Province called Arakan, which is geographically a part of the indian subcontinent. And the Rohingya Muslims are deprived from many rights and even excluded from citizenship.
