A prominent Burmese monk has been castigated by both the international community and fellow Buddhists for calling a female UN representative campaigning for the rights of minority Rohingya Muslims a whore.
Buddhist monks protest against visiting UN Special Rapporteur on Myanmar Yanghee Lee in Rangoon.
Nationalist monk Ashin Wirathu, who is known in Burma for his loose tongue, devoted a diatribe to human rights rapporteur Yanghee Lee, who is battling to highlight the plight of the countrys stateless and isolated Rohingya Muslims, up to 140,000 of which have been displaced by ongoing violence in the poor western state of Rakhine.
We have already made Race Protection Law public. But this bitch, without studying , kept on complaining how it is against human rights, the Democratic Voice of Burma quoted him as saying.
Just because some loud-mouthed women say so, he continued. Can this bitch be from a respectable background?

Well, so much for equanimous, pacifist Buddhism!
I hope his fellow monks manage to get a muzzle on Ashin Wirathu PDQ. He sounds like a real misogynist dick!
