Perhaps off the mark a bit, but to clarify, it is the Muslims who are being killed in Burma as opposed to doing any killing.

The conflict in Burma is not primarily about religion per se. Religion in Burma is an ethnic identifier more than anything and in this case, Islam identifies a person in Rakhine State as being part of the Rohingya People as opposed to the more populous Arakanese People (who are Buddhist). The attacks started from unclear provocation, likely from a rape or murder performed by someone of one ethnicity on someone of the other ethnicity and all of the revenge killings that result.
