	A History of the Karen People of Burma
		By nature the Karen are simple, quiet, unassuming and peace loving people, who uphold the high moral qualities of honesty, purity, brotherly love, co-operative living and loyalty, and are devout in their religious beliefs.
		The Karen State requested by the Karens was comprised of the Irrawaddy Division, the Tenasserim Division, the Hanthawady District, Insein District and the Nyaunglebin Sub-Division, the areas where the bulk of the Karen populace could be found.
		But instead of compromising with the Karen by peaceful negotiations concerning the Karen case, the Burmese Government and the Burmese Press said many negative things about us, especially by frequently repeating their accusations that the Karen are puppets of the British and enemies of the Burman.

	Karen Human Rights Group \| Reports \| PHOTO SET 2005-A
		In Karen regions it is militarization and military control, not armed conflict, that leads to human rights abuses, and there is no ceasefire between the SPDC and Karen civilians in the war for control of their lives and livelihoods.
		Se veral hundred thousand Karen villagers are now in hiding from SPDC troops or interned in SPDC-controlled relocation sites, while all of those living under SPDC control face so much forced labour and so many restrictions on their activities that some of them flee to join the internally displaced people (IDPs) in the hills.
		Taken together, the photos presented here try to provide a holistic view of the suffering imposed on villagers in Karen regions, but also to show their resilience and resourcefulness in resisting this suffering despite the immense force deployed against them and the lack of anything but a tiny trickle of outside help.

		The road divides Lu Thaw Township, acting as an affective barrier to Karen movement and as the primary means of land re-supply for Burma Army units in the area.
		To slow Burma Army attacks, the Karen have also mined approaches to their villages near the car road -the KNLA soldiers are well trained at locating, removing, and replacing land mines thus enabling some supplies and people to get through.

	Dhimmi Watch: State's Karen Hughes plays dhimmi
		But either because the State Department did not do a thorough investigation of ISNA or because it willfully disregarded the group’s open praise of “shaheeds,” Karen Hughes is more than likely going to share the stage with the man who signed that statement and who publicly denied bin Laden’s responsibility for 9/11: Siddiqi.
		It seems to me that what Karen Hughes is undertaking with this convention underscores all that is wrong with the West's approach to the problems we are facing with Islam.
		Karen Hugjs will not see herself wearing a burqa confined to the lower end of the food chain, but she seems quite happy to relegate Muslim women to that status and position.
