There has also recently been a rise in Buddhist monks espousing anti-muslim nationalist sentiments. One of the most infamous of which is Ashin Wirathu, who believes most muslims are violent radicals who are raping Burmese women throughout Burma. He fears that muslims (with a higher birthrate and foreign support) will take over Burma unless they are stopped, through the use of violence if necessary. There are several ultra-nationalist Buddhist organizations in contemporary Myanmar, such as Ma Ba Tha ("Patriotic Association of Myanmar") and the 969 Movement.
