What divides the Rohingya from the rest of the population of Myanmar?

THE ROHINGYA PEOPLE are an ethnic group from Myanmar, once called Burma. Most live in Rakhine State on Myanmar’s western coast.
Myanmar is a majority-Buddhist state, but the Rohingya people are primarily Muslim, though a small number are Hindu. The ethnic minority is considered “the most persecuted minority in the world” by the United Nations.
