Perhaps a little history on the Rohingya issue in Myanmar would enlighten you as to the cause of the current problems. This is primarily a Rohingya issue, not a Muslim issue.
During WWII Bengali/Chittagonian Muslims (who migrated during colonial time) sided with the British, they clashed with the Rakhine/Japanese; when the British returned, the Muslims murdered thousands of Rakhine in Buthidaung/Maungdaw (since then the Muslims have an overwhelming majority there). 1947, a Mujahid uprising started, the Muslims demanded their own state (that the British had promised for their loyalty!). The descendants of these Muslims call themselves now conveniently Rohingyas.
Most Rohingyas are considered illegal Bangalis even by established Moslem communities since they can neither speak a local Rakhine dialect nor Burmese and do not integrate. They immigrated into Rakhine from Bangladesh especially during Ne Win’s time – no problem due to a corrupt immigration.
Most Muslims who have been living in the rest of Myanmar for decades or since early colonial time do not want to be associated with Rohingyas. For instance, the Kamen are living side by side with the Rakhine for centuries.
Whilst I don't agree with what is going on out there, there is more to this than "Buddhists hate all Muslims" in Myanmar.
I must say it does seem somewhat ironic that a man like yourself, who says all Americans are sheep for believing the mainstream media, posts information gleaned from Time magazine.
I guess if it fits in with your dogma, the it must be true, right?
