This photo that best demonstrates the resiliency of the people as the Rohingya Muslim refugees pray at the Balukali refugee camp in an area where they are attempting to build a mosque. Interestingly, despite Buddhism being largely a religion of peace, Buddhist groups are the ones said to be attacking and oppressing groups of Rohingya Muslim people. Although, it is decidedly more of an ethnic issue than a religious one it is clear the Rohingya people are still clinging to the Muslim faith. They have also received support from other religions around the world including Pope Francis, however, some have criticized the Pope’s statements as not being strong enough.
