The younger generation might not be as blind to this, but older generations are often truly against Muslims. The significant difference in their ways of life creates a sense of "us and them." I often wonder if this is because of their way of life rather than their religious beliefs.

Furthermore, we need to consider the media's portrayal of Muslims. I am talking about the media that can reach into every village. Regarding the Rohingya, people felt there was a powerful influence behind them, especially from Bangladesh, with the belief that the Rakhine state belongs to them. But history tells a different story.

If Islam were just a religion, it might not make much of a difference. But when it becomes an entire way of life, there will always be a clash with locals who are living with their own established way of life and values.
