Rohingya Muslims are being forced out of their homes in Buddhist-dominated Myanmar. That government’s military is carrying out an onslaught against the religious minority that’s being called ethnical cleansing. A United Nations human rights official fears the number of Muslims killed by the troops may be “extremely high.” The surviving refugees are flooding into neighboring Bangladesh.
