Original subtitles

"Hate is by far, the greatest pleasure,

men love in haste, but detest in leisure." - Lord Byron.

I wrote two sermons about the African catfish.

The main feature of the African catfish

is that they grow very fast.

They also reproduce very fast.

And they are violent.

They eat their own kind

and destroy their natural resources.

The Muslims are just like those fish.

The Venerable W

In our religion,

Buddha is not a god.

He's a human.

We believe in karma and in reincarnation.

Through this and the past lives,

and by the accumulation of karma

Buddhists themselves can become a Buddha

and achieve enlightenment.

For us, monks,

there are only four material things:

The texts,

the robe,

the monastery to where we belong

and the bowl in which we receive food alms

and by this action our donors can accummulate good karma.

Buddhist men

must become monks at least once in their lives.

They can decide for how long.

When you're a monk, lay people consider you a sacred being.

The Buddha is traditionally above the concept of good and evil.

Watch your words well, to stop you from the machinations of evil.

If children are taught the right ideas

about what Buddhism really is,

they will be able to practice it correctly in the future as well.

But they should also know,

from the earliest childhood,

who is the enemy and where does the danger lie.

That's why I especially teach children.

In the mornings, I lead the monk's sutra recitations.

Then I write.

Then I give sermons.

Finally, I help people who have been persecuted by Muslims.

Remember well the title of my sermon:

'' Love and believe in 969 ''.

Repeat

'' Love and believe in 969 ''.

The 969 is an organization that protects

race and religion, without violence or aggression.

Do you agree?

Yes we do.

Let's pray.

For race and religion.

For race and religion.

We must adopt the 969

so that peace prevails.

Some entrepreneurs

have very consolidated businesses.

One of them, a rich Muslim, has the following slogan:

'' To destroy a race you need to spend money. ''

What did he say?

'' To destroy a race you need to spend money. ''

Muslims call it '' the sex strategy ''.

He hires numerous young girls to work for him.

That way they can be seen every day.

And they offer them everything a woman can wish for.

Sex and desire.

And since they have both,

the girls marry them.

Once they are a couple, they receive a flat.

These men manipulate them so that the girls abandon their religion.

All those girls who work for them

and marry them,

abandon their religion.

That is "the sex strategy."

Does it produce results?

Yes.

Will it not destroy our race if we let them do this,

under the pretext of human rights?

Yes, it will.

And our religion?

That as well.

Could it completely disappear in the end?

Yes, it could.

Don't we need a law against all this?

Yes, we do.

That's right.

This evening

we are impressed by the amount of money and donations collected after the sermon.

We consider 969

as the cosmological opposite of 786,

which for Muslims represents

"in the name of Allah, the compassionate and merciful."

The goal of 969

is to unite all Burmese Buddhists,

the founders of the Burmese nation.

The symbol of the 969 movement.

We, Buddhists

are more than 90% of Burma's population,

Which is a country with 35 ethnic groups and four official religions.

Did you know that Muslims are only 4% of the population?

I was born in 1968

in Kyaukse, near Mandalay.

My father retired when I was still in high school,

and because of this we went through some financial difficulties.

We had to help him. It was a difficult time for us.

My father was selling water in tanks,

from a cart pulled by oxen,

and I was following him.

At 17, I became a monk.

At first I thought it will only be for a couple of months.

But when I learned about the Dhamma and started to practice meditation,

I decided to continue.

My family was very upset when I decided to be a monk for the rest of my life.

My father used to bank his head against the wall in his anger.

Near Kyaukse there is a Muslim village,

called Lapang.

In all the nearby villages

there were lots of troubles.

A 14 year old girl

was raped at night.

She was tied to a tree naked.

They didn't find her until the next morning.

I was only 12 years old then.

When the authorities started the investigation

all the Muslims in the village shaved their heads

so that they wouldn't be recognized.

The day before Aid Festival

According to common wisdom

if someone is capable of killing an animal,

he is also capable of killing a human.

We, Buddhists, are against animal sacrifice.

My teacher doesn't live in the monastery anymore where I used to study.

He retired to the countryside to practice meditation.

I was 45 years old when I met Wirathu.

He was about 4 years old.

This is how his mentality was shaped.

He received the very same education

like all the other students.

His mind is very bright,

and he shows great interest in the study of Buddhism.

I never had to train him.

He just does it naturally.

In 1991, at the age of 23

Wirathu went to Mandalay and settled in the Masoeyein monastery.

But he always kept in touch with his old monastery in Kyaukse.

Ma Soe Yein Monastery

In Kyaukse I didn't have to leave to collect food offerings,

so I had a lot of time to study.

But in Mandalay,

I had to leave every morning to receive alms as well.

It was difficult to get decent food.

In Kyaukse, we used to help each other out

when somebody had some difficulties or if somebody got sick.

But in Mandalay, when I got sick

I was totally alone and I had to take are of myself.

Eight years later

I became a member of the monastic council.

The same year I also wrote a book about meditation

which was banned by censorship.

In fact, the monk in the censorship office

had close connections to the military.

Those days almost all the Masters

were revered by the military who were in power.

The censor monk didn't like that I criticized their Masters.

So, I had no other options but to publish the book illegally.

I used the pseudonym "Wirathu - Ma Soe Yein".

The book was a huge success,

and from then on, I was known as "Wirathu - Ma Soe Yein".

The Battle of Theravada

Those who read it respect me even now.

The idea of the book occurred to me in 1993.

I saw a video

about the meditation techniques of the Tant Kyi Taung monastery.

So I studied the Buddhist cannon

just to see if the monk in the video spoke according to the scriptures.

The teacher of the Tant Kyi Taung Monastery said

that my respiration was inadequate during meditation.

During inhalation you feel the air touching your nasal cavity.

And when you exhale,

you feel the air touching the tip of your upper lip.

So, during meditation

you focus on being in constant contact with the air.

But according to the master from Tant Kyi Taung

one must breathe intensely,

like a cow, making a lot of noise.

Some people roar as if they were tigers,

others shriek

as if they were monkeys,

and some hiss like snakes,

and others sound like chickens.

The Master of Mount Tant Kyi Taung's discourse at Berkeley

That monk went to the US,

to teach his method.

I don't like that.

It was not approved in our country.

Foreigners may believe that this is Buddhism,

but it is not true.

His monastery has a delegation in Los Angeles, called Azusa.

When the book was published,

the monk Tant Kyi Taung denounced me,

but the rest of the monks gave me their support.

Monday, March 24th, 1997

Manifestation of Buddhist monks.

Burnt a mosque

A Buddhist girl raped

100 monks imprisoned

I realized

the intentions of the Muslims in 1997.

Until then, my eyes were closed,

but in 1997 they were finally opened.

Wirathu discovers a book that will prove to be very important to him:

The fear of our race's disappearance.

The pages were either typed or photocopied,

so with time they costs more to read.

I read it in 1997.

This book has always been banned by the military.

Except when it was convenient to their interests.

At that time, me and my fellow monks

from other monasteries in Mandalay

were still considered to be very young teachers.

And we used to catch the bus Nr. 8 to go to the cemetery.

It was always at around 8 pm.

We took the sidewalks,

to make our speeches.

They had no microphones.

Without that they had no other options but to scream.

A young girl and a kalar fell in love with each other.

So the kalar was beaten up, which made me happy.

Kalar = Muslim Equivalent to 'nigger' in the US.

His code name was 'Myo Chit Thu', the patriot.

To hide

they put the robe around their heads,

and wore dark sunglasses.

They used code names among themselves.

It was to protect our identities from the secret service.

If they would have found out who we were,

they would have informed the Grand Masters of the monasteries,

and we would have been expelled.

Wirathu told them not to buy anything in Muslim stores,

and not to sell properties to Muslims,

not even if a good price was offered.

His words could incite hatred.

Which is why the government forbade him to give sermons.

The clamor of applause

could reach to the sky.

At that time people were still afraid to applaud publicly.

But still, some monks had the courage to do just that

and the entire country seemed interested in what we said.

This is how we spread nationalistic ideas.

Each summer I went to Kyangin to teach.

After giving a couple of sermons,

he discovered that the authorities were planning to stop him,

and what's more,

the secret service went to interrogate him.

So, he stopped giving sermons and returned to Mandalay.

Those two sermons had actually been recorded.

The monks made several copies,

and distributed them everywhere.

By the time I arrived to Mandalay,

the tapes were already there.

This is how he became well-know all around.

When he became one of the leaders

of the Ma Soe Yein Monastery,

the Grand Masters

gave him permission to give sermons again.

Someone told me that this book,

The fear of our race's disappearance

has inspired everyone, the nationalist pamphlets,

just as the anti-Muslim movements of our country.

In early 2003, despite being banned,

the copies were openly distributed on the markets of Kyaukse.

Protecting race and religion is not an easy task.

It breaks my heart. Where are the Burmese heading?

The threat weighing on Buddhism has reached an alarming level.

September 3rd, 2003.

One month before the riots in Kyaukse.

At the end there are less and less Buddhists,

and more and more 'kalars'.

And what does the government do?

Nothing!

Plus, the Muslims live in our country,

and for a long time,

they live in our land,

they use our resources,

and they have all the rights they want.

Normally, you would think they are happy, wouldn't you?

But nothing is enough for them.

They are committed to insult and attack our religion.

I can not stand idle to see what they do to us.

What about you, Venerable ones?

No, we can't either!

Then listen to me well!

Within a few days, I will make a decision.

As soon as I give you the signal,

you must be ready to follow me.

In the meantime, I must plan the operation well,

just as if we were the CIA or the Mosad,

for the sake of efficiency.

We will succeed with our action.

The riots of 1997 in Mandalay had no leader.

That's why it failed.

This time I am the leader.

I'll make sure that the 'kalars' have nothing to eat.

And I'll also make sure,

that they have no place to live.

One month later in Kyaukse

The military junta imposed a curfew on the Kyaukse Buddhist monks.

11 people were killed, 32 warehouses and 26 houses were burned down.

It all started on October 19, 2003 at 5:30 pm.

And by 11 pm it was all over.

The houses of musulmans were put on fire.

Some Muslims died.

A monk riding a motorcycle went to the village of Lapang,

to attend a religious festival.

The Muslims of Lapang attacked and killed him.

If they hadn't murdered that monk,

they couldn't have stopped me.

Killing a monk, that's a big thing.

It was feared that it could cause an uprising in the entire country.

They managed to stop us founding

a great national movement.

The international community, the UN and the Muslim countries

placed an enormous pressure on the government.

The military was scared,

and they started to arrest people at random.

They arrested me, and then accused me

of inciting and orchestrating these events.

He went to prison

because of me.

At the same time as me.

While in prison, it was a Muslim

who cooked for Wirathu.

He asked him what he wanted,

then I asked the guards for the ingredients, and they cooked them.

Being a Muslim,

he didn't know the ritual of giving alms,

so others offered food to Wirathu.

This Muslim told me

that he was on very friendly terms with Wirathu.

They had a good time chatting,

talking about everything,

except about religion.

They often say about prisons that it's 'the university of life'.

You can learn a lot of things inside.

Lots of different things.

While in prison, I practiced meditation for 99 months.

My serenity comes from the concentration I acquired during my time there.

Another book I wrote was translated to English.

It's entitled: "The culprits of history."

I wrote it in prison.

I wrote about the behaviour of the Monks' Council,

and about how corrupted they were.

Basically, I pointed out that this Monks' Council

served as an armed force of the military government.

The Military was exercising absolute power since 1962.

I was one of those who started the "Saffron Revolution" of 2007.

The revolution began

because of a report that I wrote in jail.

It's not true!

The "Saffron Revolution" of 2007

didn't just start with a single person.

And it wasn't carried out by a single person either.

All religious bodies worked together

for the liberation of the country.

There were five monks

among the leaders,

and I was one of them.

September 2007

The cause was the high costs of living.

People just couldn't get ahead.

We, monks, knew it well that it was the government's fault.

We decided to go outside and chant the Metta Sutta.

All beings, omitting none,

whether weak or strong; small or great;

in high, middle or low realms of existence; near or far away; visible or invisible; born or to-be born.

May all beings be happy and at their ease. Let none deceive another,

or despise any being in any state. Let none wish harm to another.

We went to the house of Aung San Suu Kyi.

We caught the authorities by surprise.

We could enter the area very easily,

just before they blocked the road.

We were sad to see her under house arrest,

but nevertheless we were happy just to see her.

She also had the chance to pay homage.

We managed to chant the Metta Sutta together.

The NLD's flag,

Aung San Suu Kyi's party which would come to power in 2016.

The government attacked the monasteries.

It was the very first time in history

that the government directly attacked the monks,

even though our manifestation was carried out peacefully.

We were certain that the revolution had begun.

We heard about the news

from the visitors who came to the prison.

We were very happy.

And people told me

that it was all due to the report that I had written.

They had a lot of respect for me.

A man close to power came to see me.

He asked me to write a letter to the monks

asking them to stop the manifestations.

Even if he had promised to set me free,

I would have never written it, I would have never accepted it.

Four years later,

on January 13, 2012,

W. was released due to a general amnesty.

My dear fellow monks,

I'm glad that you have come to welcome me,

I thank you for your warm welcome.

So, what would you prefer?

A yellow speech, a discourse of a monk,

or a courageous red speech, burning with life?

A burning red one!

All right then.

For Theravada Buddhism,

the new Ma Soe Yein Monastery

must be like a wall.

It must be like an army that spawns soldiers

to fight on the front line.

We, monks,

open people's eyes.

In Burmese politics

it was always us, monks, who showed the way.

To showcase our greatness

we are going to write a new chapter.

When they released me from prison,

the 969 movement really took off.

It was me, who planned the stickers project all alone, while still in prison.

I spent 8 years on it.

When looking at those stickers, people think about the Buddha.

speaks in French ???

To me, those stickers are basically a boycott of Muslim businesses.

Muslims own many businesses.

Large companies, like the Motherland,

Naing Group, Shine Group,

who control the enormous markets of construction.

And all of them are Muslims,

which is why I gave the instructions

not to buy from Muslims,

because with the money they make,

they can marry Burmese girls,

and consequently continue the invasion of the whole country.

"Muslims multiply like rabbits."

In 2014: 88 % Buddhists, 4 % Muslims, 8 % other religions.

What about in Europe?

What is the percentage of Muslims in your country, you think?

Reality - Perception

BELGIUM

GERMANY

FRANCE

From the British colonization till 2012,

the country has been governed by evil people.

And they were not worried about national security at all.

Which is why more than a million Bengalis

have crossed our borders illegally.

They want to stay in Rakain.

Everything broke loose on June 8th, 2012.

The Muslim leader.

Those Muslims just left the mosque.

Maungdaw: 90 % Muslims

Look, they carry stones.

And picks.

This was recorded by a Buddhist,

through his window.

The 'kalars' saw him, and started to throw stones at him.

But he just kept recording anyway.

So the 'kalars' broke through the door,

and entered.

He grabbed his wife's hand and they ran away.

They burned down his house.

I arrived a bit later.

He gave me these videos.

When we arrived, there was still a lot of smoke.

The Muslims burned down eight villages that day.

I decided to pay a visit

to all those places they had burned.

And I realized that the situation is a lot worse than I imagined.

It deeply affected me.

Place of crime

June 3rd. 6 AM: distribution of pamphlets

4 PM: attack on the bus

June 8th Maungdaw

The riot started from the mosque in Maungdaw,

but in Sittve, it was the buddhists who started it.

Sittwe: 60 % Buddhists

These Rohingyas who left their homes at that moment

were the first ones in many regards

The majority are still displaced today.

Another 140,000 followed their steps.

In Maungdaw and Sittwe 31 Buddhists and 46 Muslims were killed

4800 houses reduced to ashes

But even as a mother loves , watches over, and protects her child, her only child;

so may all with a boundless mind cherish all living beings,

radiating friendliness over the entire world without limit.

May we cultivate a boundless goodwill,

free from ill-will or enmity.

From the Metta Sutta.

DVD produced and distributed by W. after his stay in Rakain.

When the riots took place I went to record them,

and then I distributed the DVDs.

The people suddenly became aware of the situation,

and that they had to protect our religion.

This is how the 969 movement started to flourish.

Mandalay, 2nd September, 2012.

Long live,

President Thein Sein!

Long live,

President Thein Sein!

Long live,

President Thein Sein!

Long live,

President Thein Sein!

- To our country... - Be protected!

May our country be protected!

Even the Buddha himself did some politics for the sake of peace.

Let's be clear about one thing: the Buddhist doctrine

doesn't say that monks should not be involved in politics.

- The Rohingyas? - We don't want them!

- The Rohingyas? - We dont want them!

- The Rohingyas? - We don't want them!

Young Monks' Association

Sons and daughters of Rakain!

1 - You must avoid buying from or selling to the 'kalars'!

2 - You must also stop all communications or friendships with them!

Where there are too many Muslims

there are always conflicts, and 'Jihads'.

Which is why we are taking security measures right now.

Sittwe, October 9, 2012

Action taken by two thousand representatives

of 17 locations and monasteries.

We demand the creation of monastic militias in the villages

to guard peace and public discipline.

We demand that the supporters of the 'kalars' Bengali

are to be considered traitors of the nation,

and that their identities are made public in each towns.

We support President Thein Sein's request

asking the United Nations to provide total support for the Bengalis residing on Burmese soil

until another country accepts them.

During a meeting, the decision was made to displace the rohingya people

from the vicinity of the main roads.

Kyaukpyu, 633 houses destroyed

Before

The Muslims live in small houses.

When their houses burn down

they can get much bigger houses.

They even burn down their houses

to get international financial aid for the new one.

From a historical point of view, there has never been an ethnic group called: Rohingya.

The Rohingyas invented this name

to hide their Bengali identity.

Rakain is falling apart.

Almost 200,000 Burmese refugees

have crossed the river between the two cities.

They belong to the ethnic minority of the Rohingya,

that adds up to almost one and a half million people.

The situation started to deteriorate last February,

when the Burmese threw themselves on Rakain

under the pretext of documentation control

called: Operation Dragon.

The Rohingyas quickly understood that they were the objective of the operation.

Is Operation Dragon an official operation?

Yes, it is.

It involved the Burmese police, the army and the immigration service.

Sometimes they also receive some help from 'mogs', the non-Muslims.

Have you ever witnessed any tortures or similar things?

Yes, I've seen all sort of things.

First, they raped all women, young and old,

our sisters and mothers.

My sister was raped by Burmese soldiers.

Just on this field, a lot of women were raped.

They're like Hitler and the Nazis.

Do you know about Hitler and the Nazis in Germany?

They torture the Rohingyas just like the Nazis did.

The refugees meet

five times a day for prayer on the fields.

At least they can pray in peace,

because Bangladesh is the most religions country in the Muslim world.

How can one of the poorest country in the world

receive thousands of hungry people?

Bangladesh demands

that they are repatriated to Burma as soon as possible.

What will be Burma's response to this?

It will be negative,

if the refugees that count who have found oil in Rakain

they are right.

That would explain this genocide

which is so far beyond any sort of religious rivalry between Buddhists and Muslims.

If the oil reserves from Kyauktaw

and Rathedaung

are really as important as they say,

the Burmans deport Muslims the majority in Rakain,

only to ensure total control of the region,

which has suddenly become of strategic importance for the country's economy.

The interesting thing about the citizenship law,

is that it clearly states that the government can decide

whether one is Burmese by origin or not.

I remember a discussion

with an Arakanese nationalist leader.

He told me: "We can't exterminate the Bengalis."

He referred to the Rohingyas like that.

Buddha Gautama,

Think not lightly of evil, saying, "It will not come to me.

Drop by drop is the water pot filled.

Likewise, the fool, gathering it little by little,

fills himself with evil.

In fact,

their mosques are not places for worship

like our monasteries.

Rather, they are military bases designed to plan attacks

against non-Muslims.

I have seen the true purpose of the Muslims,

which is to convert the entire world to Islam.

In fact, everyone can see it on YouTube

that when the members of ISIS behead a Christian,

they put up a finger,

saying: there should be only one God in the world.

In fact, the Muslims

keep migrating and settling into European countries,

they are invading the world.

Merkel and other leaders like her welcome them

without paying any attention to the opinion of their people.

In the U.S,

if the people

want to maintain peace and security,

they should vote for Donald Trump.

As soon as they made people believe

that the Rohingyas are the enemies of the Burmese nation,

it was easy to extend this idea

to all Burmese Musulmans as enemies.

The army quickly adopted this idea of creating an enemy.

And surprise, surprise,

the ideas of the famous banned book continued to spread.

Objective:

Make it clear that nation and race are linked to religion.

The causes of a race's disappearance:

A race is not swallowed by the earth but by miscegenation.

The Muslim strategy:

favour miscegenation, reproduce a lot.

The arrival of Islam to Southeast Asia.

There is an Islamic terrorist organisation in Myanmar, called the RSO.

Did you know...?

"If there is any religion that can

coexist with modern science, it is Buddhism.

It is one of the great religions of the future. " - Albert Einstein.

Conclusion: Let's avoid the fate of Indonesia and Malaysia.

Let's love our race, let's not abandon our religion.

In Burma, the word 'race' comes from 'kula', a Pali word.

But 'kula' is usually associated

with another word: 'rakhita', which means 'protection'.

'Kula rakhita' becomes in 'myo chit' - 'patriotism'.

But the Buddha didn't say

that each one must protect his race.

When the Buddha says

to protect the race, he refers to the entire humanity.

Since the end of 2012, Wirathu has been traveling all over the country,

giving at least 5 sermons a month.

If you have to choose between two merchants,

which one will you buy from, a Burmese or a 'kalar'?

The Burmese.

Who do you prefer between a Buddhist and a Muslim?

The Buddhist.

When I won't be alive anymore,

at around 2100,

the white territory will turn into a black one,

and our religion will be dominated

by the religion of the black flags.

When I arrived to Meiktila, they told me this:

a Muslim, the owner of the LND office

prohibits people from praying.

Suppose he becomes a political leader one day,

a national leader,

or perhaps even a member of the parliament.

Think about it.

It is a very serious issue.

The more you think about it, the more worrisome it becomes.

Following the sermon in Meiktila,

a city with 30% Muslims,

pamphlets appeared in the markets.

Distributed mainly during March 2013.

"To the superior monk of the city of Meiktila:

We're writing to inform you about the Burmese Buddhists

who live in terror.

Some 'kalars', using Saudi money intended for mosques

are buying lands, farms and houses

in and out of the city,

using Burmese names.

We're terrified to see the growing number of 'kalars'

going to the mosque every day.

We're asking for help from the monks to stop corruption.

Signed by: Buddhists who feel abandoned.

City of Meiktila"

"Note:

This letter is not intended to encourage riots or political instability.

It is distributed hoping that the love we feel for our nation and religion

can last for a long time."

Meiktila, 20-22 March 2013.

Behind.

Go away, please.

Put down the weapons!

Put down the weapons!

The riot started

in a Muslim jewelry store

where a Buddhist came to sell a golden bracelet.

They told me,

they were looting the jewelry.

So, I searched the crowd for some familiar face.

I asked if there were any monks there, and they said yes.

I spoke to a monk on the phone.

Those monks prevented people from destroying everything.

But the crowd was so great

that in the end nobody listened to them.

Break it all!

Stop encouraging them!

Eastern Mosque

It's pretty bad.

Let him die.

I'm asking you to cooperate

in preventing them to spread the clashes

and to protect the people of Meiktila.

I hope you help us all.

We will unite,

and we will create an association to protect race and religion.

It's members will be officials, monks and citizens.

We will protect the lives and properties of the people of Meiktila.

Did the attackers come from your neighbourhood?

Yes. They are neighbours.

They are Buddhists.

They came shouting slogans

while we were hiding in a ditch.

"We, the Burmese are the owners of all this.

We are going to sweep away the Muslims."

They were carrying batons and swords

and they attacked anyone who crossed their paths.

So, no Muslims are left in Meiktila anymore?

None.

1 monk killed.

100 Muslims killed. 12,000 displaced.

What we're doing has nothing to do with W.

We don't say the same things, and we don't act like him.

The Buddha says we must observe and analyze the word.

He always said, we should not believe his sermons unquestionably.

Just because he said them, we should not accept them blindly.

We should not believe him just because he is the Master,

but rather the opposite,

we have to have a personal experience about his teachings before we accept them.

A simple phrase that generates good feelings

is better than a hundred thousand useless speeches.

Hate will never end hatred, only love is capable of that.

This is what the ancient and eternal law says.

A few months after Meiktila and the other disturbances,

the state of the Sangha, a council formed by 52 monks,

voted in favour of banning the 969 movement

and forbid them to use the Buddhist flag as the background of their emblem.

Wirathu immediately formed a new organization:

"Ma Ba Tha, Association for Race and Religion."

Without an organization,

a crowd with a heated spirit could easily get out of control.

Things may explode.

Ma Ba Tha intervenes,

when the 'kalars' beset the Buddhists.

Once the problem is solved and the 'kalars' are punished,

the crowd calms down as well.

So, this is role of the Ma Ba Tha.

The 969 had no structure, it was just a movement.

It had no designated leaders, or rules,

while the Ma Ba Tha has a structure and leaders,

central committees,

and regional committees.

Ten monks,

some of them counsellors,

and 15 laymen work here.

Some of them record the events,

while others distribute the DVDs.

We don't commercialize our reports.

As far as the videos about the 'jihad' are concerned,

We firmly believe that everyone must be informed about them.

Which is why we offer the DVDs.

The video is called: 'THE BLACK DAYS'

It was directed by one of my disciples.

We made a reconstruction

of the life of that girl from Rakain

before she was killed.

It was filmed following exactly

the confessions of the three Muslim murderers.

They raped her,

cut her neck,

then they cut of her ears

stealing her earrings and jewelry.

We haven't yet released 'The Black Days.'

We are finishing the final bits and the subtitles.

English subtitles.

Master Wirathu owns the copyrights.

So, here we are in the offices

of media and communication of the Venerable.

Wirathu himself updates his different web pages daily.

On the social networks

Wirathu has millions of followers.

People post news about him,

regardless of being true of false.

Those photos are a joke.

They are not a problem.

But the false news in blogs,

now, they are a real problem,

because the people of the country may believe them,

and they could have different reactions.

The rape of Ma So So, on June 28, 2014.

by the owners of the Sun cafe

wasn't just a crime,

but it was intended to unleash violence in our country.

Nobody checked this information.

It was false.

But it's too late now.

Violence started almost immediately, the next day.

No organization, no NGO

has been able to intervene to stop them.

The security forces dared not to act.

They were just observing.

We went there to control the situation.

200 of us stayed there for two nights

to protect the people.

Calm down. Don't get agitated.

I don't know what happened.

I accept what you say, but we must be sure.

This is our home.

They came and insulted us.

There were no big problems.

It happened in the center.

Either way, one person died on both sides.

Every time there are some clashes,

we try to stop them from spreading.

We're ready to have open discussions with the mosques.

According to Buddhism, we must behave kindly.

As soon as there is violence, Buddhism is destroyed.

Wirathu held numerous public speeches,

calling for support

for the Protection of Race and Religion Law.

And this huges display of available means

indicate that there was a lot of money involved.

Where did all this money come from? Nobody knows.

Certainly it must have come from the 'cronies',

a group of millionaires,

who are in direct contact with the military,

hoping for government contracts, etc.

Innocent girls end up in trouble because of their deceptions.

- Am I not right? - Yes, you are!

According to these laws,

the Muslims cannot say anymore that they are Burmese

to be able to stay with our girls.

We had to have these laws approved.

If a Muslim wants to marry a Buddhist woman,

he cannot make her convert to Islam. If he does, he goes to jail.

A Muslim should only have one wife.

No polygamy.

Or else, he goes to prison.

Muslims can't have too many children.

One in every three years, no more than that.

We had these laws approved.

Now, we are a lot calmer about the future of our country.

October 4, 2015.

Celebration of the promulgation of the laws of race and religion

THE HYMN OF MA BA THA

The Buddha's wisdom

shines everything in our country.

We'll always be on the frontline

to protect the Bamar race and the Buddhist faith.

The Muslims living on our land,

drinking our waters, and violating our standards.

Our wealth belongs to us, they destroy our youth.

You have to see how ungrateful they are.

Despicable creatures.

We are a Buddhist brotherhood. We join our hands together as one.

We will be loyal and faithful to our race and to our faith.

We will only do business with those who share our Buddhist faith.

We'll only marry those who share our Buddhist faith.

And in our national affairs

let us preserve our nationalistic conscience.

And in our national affairs

let us preserve our nationalistic conscience.

We'll be ready to die for our country,

if we must.

We'll be ready to die for our country

if we must.

Does the UN have the right

to control the legitimate authority of our country?

Yes or no?

No!

We're the ones to decide the fate of our country.

That's right!

And we're not going to give this power to the 'kalars'!

No, we're not!

Or to the Chinese!

No!

Or the British?

No!

The Americans?

No!

Do we accept this situation?

No!

Without having studied anything,

that damn woman says that

we don't respect the human rights.

- Is this woman honest, you think? - No!

Does she think herself to be so important?

In our country, you're nothing but a whore.

You can sell your ass to the 'kalars',

but you won't sell our Rakain.

After a speech like that,

we, the other Buddhists,

we could have undertaken a judicial process against Wirathu

and put him in jail for inciting hatred,

but before that, Ma Ba Tha must be silenced.

That's how it went.

On August 31, 2016, in the capital,

we started negotiating with the leaders of all ethnic insurgencies

in hope of establishing peace.

This is a unique opportunity

to achieve a historical project.

We hoped that the military, who share power with her,

continue with us.

Too late.

On October 8, 2016,

the Rohingyas declared themselves to be an insurgent group.

Nothing could prevent the military from doing what it has always done.

2500 houses burned down near Maungdaw on November 1, 2016

The Operation Dragon of 1978 is repeating itself.

But this time with repercussions outside our borders.

Hate will never end hatred.

Only love is capable of that.

This is what the ancient and eternal law says.

In order of appearance:

Wirathu's master,

The two agree that the master is totally innocent,

and that it was Wirathu who encouraged the Kyaukse riots in 2003.

for which he was imprisoned.

Editor of one of the magazines of Burmese research.

Author of Wirathu against the world.

He participated in the 1988 revolution and was imprisoned twice.

he became one of the five leaders of the Saffron Revolution of 2007.

Before creating Fortify Rights, a human rights organization,

he wrote important reports on Burma for the Human Rights Watch,

between 2011 and 2013.

Editor of the New York Times, and other Anglo-Saxon newspapers.

If things had followed their natural course,

there would be a few Rohingyas in the National Assembly.

But Daw Aung San Suu Kyi made sure

that there are no Muslim candidates present in the last election.

Spanish journalist,
