Members phkrause Posted June 18, 2023 Members Share Posted June 18, 2023 Hate Speech in Burma The Burmese government spread hate speech about the Rohingya for decades. New access to information via cell phones, the internet, and social media allowed hate speech to reach vast audiences. Today, the lack of accountability for the perpetrators of the 2017 genocide and the ongoing use of dehumanizing speech against the Rohingya put the community at risk of further mass atrocities. Watch a short video and see examples of hate speech that fueled the violence. Quote phkrause By the decree enforcing the institution of the papacy in violation of the law of God, our nation will disconnect herself fully from righteousness. When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with spiritualism, when, under the influence of this threefold union, our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and republican government, and shall make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan and that the end is near. {5T 451.1} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
