I for one, think U. S. foreign policy is to blame for this.

Bangladesh: Muslims Attack Buddhist Temples, Homes Over Quran Facebook Photo

COX'S BAZAR, Bangladesh -- Thousands of Bangladeshi Muslims angry over an alleged derogatory photo of the Islamic holy book Quran on Facebook set fires in at least 10 Buddhist temples and 40 homes near the southern border with Myanmar, authorities said Sunday.

The violence began late Saturday and continued until early Sunday, said Nojibul Islam, a police chief in the coastal district of Cox's Bazar.

He said the situation was under control Sunday afternoon after extra security officials were deployed and the government banned public gatherings in the troubled area.

He said at least 20 people were injured in the attacks that followed the posting of a Facebook photo of a burned copy of the Quran. The rioters blamed the photo on a local Buddhist boy, though it was not immediately clear if the boy actually posted the photo.

Bangladesh's popular English-language Daily Star newspaper quoted the boy as saying that the photo was mistakenly tagged on his Facebook profile. The newspaper reported that soon after the violence broke out, the boy's Facebook account was closed and police escorted him and his mother to safety.

Joinul Bari, chief government administrator in Cox's Bazar district, said authorities detained the boy's parents and were investigating.

Buddhists make up less than 1 percent of Muslim-majority Bangladesh's 150 million people.

The Bangladeshi violence follows protests that erupted in Muslim countries over the past month after a low-budget film, "Innocence of Muslims," produced by a U.S. citizen denigrated the Prophet Muhammad by portraying Islam's holiest figure as a fraud, womanizer and child molester.

Some two dozen demonstrators were killed in protests that attacked symbols of U.S. and the West, including diplomatic compounds.

did your elite Myanmyar information network alert you to any other issues going on there that might cause Muslim-Buddhist violence?

I'm amazed that you are so knee-jerk to Islam that you are implying it is journalistically imperative to provide background information of every regional beef that involves Muslims every time some of them do some stupid shyt like attack random people over facebook photos.

Tell me this: did your awesome atheist news ticker alert you to the proposed ethnic cleansing of muslims and mass state-driven violence over there or not? A conflict which this year displaced 90,000 people? The third world is full of riots, arson, etc., etc breh. It's remarkable the only thing that comes through to you is headlines about muslims uniquely spazzing out

anyway I have to get a lot done in the next 6 hrs TTYL

"Over there?" Yeah man, the 1% of Buddhists in Bangladesh are such a huge threat to the 90% Muslim majority there.

So any time one religious group commits senseless acts of violence, we have to discuss all the geopolitical conflicts and oppression whether real or theoretical that people of that religious group may face, even when it's not the individuals perpetuating the violence?

Absolutely atrocious. I've heard sounder logic from KingpinOG.

He wouldn't be able to muster a more thorough strawman though. There is overbleed between Myanmar and Bangladesh in the hundreds of thousands of muslims who've fled there. It'd be like saying Catholic/Protestant beef in southern Ireland had nothing to do with the northern troubles.

My point is that saying this is just about a facebook pic is mistaken. That's the latest thing they chose to antagonize over

As for the pattern I'm pointing out I especially loved the little gem of an article you threw in here a couple weeks ago about the UK voluntary religious courts from a petition with zero information

I'm sure your trivial perspective on the planet really has some sort of relevance for you and your brehs on here though. Keep at it and keep missing the point.

lol...this is a pathetic reach even for you. You are taking the religious strife going on in Myanmar and attempting to say that that is the reason why Muslims in neighboring in Bangladesh are attacking the 1% Buddhist minority as a direct result of a burning Quran photo on facebook.

Muslims reacting to violence over "blasphemy" like this is not endemic to Bangladesh. There's cases of it happening from everywhere to the UK, to Lebanon, to Egypt, to Libya, to Iran, to Saudi, to Pakistan, to Indonesia, and Bangladesh.

This is a silly disingenuous game you're playing. You look at every incidence of Islamic violence and then immediately tie it to whatever the closer incident of political strife involving Muslims and say that's the real reason why, negating any role whatsoever Islam has in it, even when the people themselves will tell you "I did it because he/she/they disrespected Islam" if you ask them directly and often do.

This is such an utterly idiotic argument that I know you don't really believe it because you're not dumb enough to. You will never criticize anything any Muslim does ever and never admit that Islam plays any role in anything negative. You made that post on sohh about how you hope for a new global Islamic caliphate then deleted it right away. That was an expression of your true feelings. Just admit you're just going to ride with Muslims no matter what and stop trying to mask it behind these bullshyt red herring arguments.

I didn't say Islam has nothing to do with it. I said it's part of ongoing violence there and saying it's cause of the pic is missing the point. You keep acting like my POV is strange when you're the guy who's unaware of all these places you post about except when one of these stories come up

as for the rest, you are pathetic with these archaic sohh post conspiracies. PM me if you want more info about some sh1t I wrote ages ago. I made a joke post and removed it because I didn't want any real life problems to result from it, it has nothing to do with some dude calling himself dr doom in florida
