> Mr. Aye Swe admitted he had never met a Muslim before, adding, 'I have to thank Facebook because it is giving me the true information in Myanmar.'"

There are so many things wrong about this single sentence.

Seems like business as usual. Those most vocals about "the others" are always those least likely to have met any.

That is such a sad quote. Just depressing in every way.

I really like how there's a person half a world ago, that you have also never met, and you're sure you're much smarter and understanding than them about their local situation.

What makes you so sure you're the one getting so many things right at once?

I am ignorant on everything Myanmar, I don;t think I can judge the guy. Am I now at fault too?

I would choose a person who admit their own ignorance any day over a person for whom it doesn't even enter the picture.
