@rezaaslan Curious, what's the source of your claim on CNN that "marauding Buddhist monks in Myanmar [are] slaughtering women and children"?

@rezaaslan Genuinely curious, because if it's true, I'd be interested in writing a story about it. But I suspect it's a gross exaggeration.
@robmoorstuff I answered your question. It's extremely well documented. Start w @hrw

@rezaaslan I've already read the@hrw report. There's mention of monks *inciting* violence, boycotts, even hitting villagers with sticks. -
@rezaaslan ...but certainly no mention of them "killing women and children." Just trying to be rigorously factual. I'm sure you understand. -
@budmashi@rezaaslan No, Danny, I know. But Reza said there are "marauding *Buddhist monks* in Myanmar slaughtering women and children." (!) -
@budmashi@rezaaslan To be clear, the Burmese treatment of the Rohingya is abominable. My question is specifically re "marauding monks."
