There is a large community of Islam living peacefully in Myanmar. If you look around Yangon (the largest and most popular city of Myanmar), you could find a lot of mosques (some even closed to famous pagoda). So this issue is much more complicated than Islam vs Buddhism.

- thrwyxzw1 9y agoAn interesting litmus test in situations like this is: are the Burmese Muslim population allowed to speak out about events around the Rohingya? If, say, some Burmese Muslims held a large protest march in Yangon, would they run the risk of being targeted as a group? If so, I'd say that their silence is as a result of fear rather than support.
