Muslim, Ahem, Protesters Go On Anti-Buddhist Rampage in Bangladesh
As per usual, Reuters calls them "protests." As we know, however, they're really jihadi pogroms:
COX'S BAZAR, Bangladesh (Reuters) - Hundreds of Muslims in Bangladesh burned
at least four Buddhist temples and 15 homes of Buddhists on Sunday after
complaining that a Buddhist man had insulted Islam, police and residents
said.
Members of the Buddhist minority in the Cox's Bazar area in the southeast of
the country said unidentified people were bent on upsetting peaceful relations
between Muslims and Buddhists.
Muslims took to the streets in the area late on Saturday to protest against
what they said was a photograph posted on Facebook that insulted Islam.
The protesters said the picture had been posted by a Buddhist and they
marched to Buddhist villages and set fire to temples and houses.
Police said they had deployed extra security forces and banned gatherings in
Buddhist-dominated areas.
"We brought the situation under control before dawn and imposed restrictions
on public gatherings," said Salim Mohammad Jahangir, Cox's Bazar district police
superintendent.
