Abstract

The concept of Islamophobia and the persecution of the Rohingya minority—these two phenomena are highly significant in the world context. These factors have affected systematic violence and statelessness for many years by the Myanmar Buddhist majority and the Myanmar government itself. The Rohingya community has a significant connection with several factors, including political, economic, national, and religious relations. This paper is dependent on a qualitative research methodology using secondary data was used. Myanmar is a non-secular, Buddhist-dominated country where the Buddhist majority holds a perception of Islam to justify their violence towards this community and to ensure Buddhist domination. This paper will shed some light on the argument, and discusses the extent to which Islamophobia is significant behind violations of human rights in the Rohingya community.

仇视伊斯兰教对迫害缅甸罗辛亚人的影响:人权视角
仇视伊斯兰教的概念和对罗辛亚少数民族的迫害--这两种现象在世界范围内具有重要意义。这些因素多年来一直影响着缅甸佛教多数派和缅甸政府本身的系统性暴力和无国籍状态。罗兴亚族群与政治、经济、民族和宗教关系等多个因素有着重要联系。本文采用二手数据的定性研究方法。缅甸是一个非政教合一、佛教占主导地位的国家,佛教多数派对伊斯兰教的看法为他们对该族群的暴力行为提供了理由,并确保了佛教的统治地位。本文将阐明这一论点,并讨论仇视伊斯兰教在多大程度上是侵犯罗兴亚族人权的重要原因。
