Vice President of the Islam Religious Affairs Council Myanmar, Aye Kyu said "All Islamists have to value the country's well-beings since we take the country's shelter. We all will cooperate with Myanmar people to protest against terrorists. We don't want such kinds of insult in the name of jihad."

There are five big organizations of Muslim in Myanmar – Myanmar Muslim Youths Organization, Islam Religious Affairs Council, Ulama El Islam (Myanmar), Myanmar Muslim National Affairs Organization and Mawlawee Organization.

The leader of Islamic militants Abu Bakar Bashir, currently in prison in his country threatened jihad against Myanmar. A few hours after he said, terrorist were arrested for attempting to bomb the Myanmar Embassy in Indonesia.
