Rohingya Muslims: Hollywood Idols and Las Vegas

rohingya muslims: It was also a year marked by tragedies around the world, according to Toronto Star. More than 620,000 Rohingya Muslims fled from Burma to Bangladesh to escape a bloody campaign of ethnic cleansing. It may have kicked into high gear after the Harvey Weinstein scandal but the outrage started growing during the Bill Cosby trial and the brouhaha over the firing of Fox News' Bill O'Reilly. There were terrorist attacks from Istanbul to Mexico to Paris to Pakistan and a deadly carnage, too, from mass shootings. The world, too, mourned the passing of Hollywood idols and legendary musicians. Terrifyingly memorable among them was the killing of almost 60 and wounding of 400 at an outdoor concert in Las Vegas.
