■ In 1937 the Muslim Free Hospital was established in Rangon, Burma. It was created by a group of Muslim leaders to care for the poor of Rangoon that had no other access to medical care. The initial investment came entirely from Muslims.
■ It is particularly remarkable that this is occurring in Myanmar. Muslims are a minority in Myanmar, about 4% of the population. Many Muslims in Myanmar live in fear. Violence against peaceful Muslims is on the increase. Militant Buddhist monks openly incite violence against Muslims.
In parts of Myanmar businesses and homes are burned. Muslims are killed. Buddhist monks openly ask all Muslims to leave their country and call them animals.

■ The quantity and quality of care given with the hospital's limited resources would be unimaginable in the United States. Muslims in Myanmar donate $400,000 a year. If the patients have money they pay what they can. If they have no money they pay nothing.
In a complicated world with horrendous events occurring daily its nice to see one shining light coming from a group only concerned with helping others.
It is also a reminder to never over generalize.
