Violence at a gold shop in Meiktila has caused clashes between Muslim and Buddhist in Burma

Reportedly, the dispute started when a Muslim owner of the gold shop beat a Buddhist customer on the head. The dispute has spread to neighbor towns. Many Muslims have been persecuted or been destroyed since the clashes began on 20 March. Burma’s government intends to use force if the state of the dispute turns for the worse, Burmese president said. I think religious disputes are difficult to settle, because beginnings of these disputes are very old. However, reason for many of these disputes is that many people discriminate others only by their religions. So I think we have to see people by many points, not only by their religions.
