The probability of their return in a safe environment where their human rights are secured is a debatable and speculative matter, and we cannot fail to do the right thing based solely on cynical speculation. As similar as they are to us, as the Palestinians in Lebanon and Jordan (before the expulsion of PLO troublemakers from those countries) are to the locals there, they have their own cultural identity firmly rooted in Arakan. Not being wanted by their cousins in Bangladesh makes the urge to return even stronger.
A part of their leadership is being used by Islamists because others like us are not doing the right thing. Let us help our neighbors for all the right reasons.
