There are an estimated 8 millions Muslims in Burma. They are discriminated against and persecuted beyond all measures.  Nowadays, Anti-Muslim violence and racist propaganda have increased against Muslims in general and the Rohingya people in particular. The Muslim Rohingyas have been denied citizenship despite living in Burma for generations with a long history. Due to large scale persecution, an estimated 1.5 million Rohingya Muslims have either been expelled or have had to leave their homeland for their lives.
