Muslims torch, loot Buddhist holy sites in Bangladesh over alleged Facebook photo
Come on, Barry! Demand that Facebook be shut down!
(TheBlaze/AP) — Thousands of Bangladeshi Muslims angry over an alleged derogatory photo of the Quran on Facebook set fire to at least 10 Buddhist temples and 40 homes near the southern border with Myanmar, authorities said Sunday.
“I have seen 11 wooden temples, two of them 300 years old, torched by the mob. They looted precious items and Buddha statues from the temples. Shops owned by Buddhists were also looted,” local journalist Sunil Barua said, according to Russia Today.
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.

@RightWinger, exactly.
“…isolated incident”…
“…it’s not as if anyone was KILLED…”
“…people need to be more sensitive…”
“…violence is not the answer…”

TECHY TROUBLES / BRING BACK CUNEIFORM
Perhaps an, in response to a crappy video, a spontaneous protest took place. Let’s not jump to conclusions and rule out the power of a well targeted FaceBook photo either!

I’m not advocating it, but some of this musloid rioting might be a good thing in the states.
It might wake up some of the highly insulated green tea milkshake drinkers.
A little fear for one’s existence never hurt anyone.

Knowing those vicious Buddhists, they’ll probably retaliate by praying or meditating.

Bullshit!!!
It didn’t have anything to do with pictures on facebook, or the trailer for an anti-muslim video, or Pastor Jones. It’s the islamic spring, and the muslim’s version of kristallnacht. Only it’s going to go on until the muslim’s are either defeated en mass, or they actually achieve their dream of a world wide islamic caliphate. They believe with a population of 1.2 billion muslims they have the numbers, and power to conquer the world for islam. And, it’s not just Jews this time, it’s all infidels.
So, let’s keep buying their oil so we can help finance their terrorists in the suicide bombing missions, and their quest to acquire nuclear bombs. Obama shut down the gulf of Mexico, and the Keystone pipeline so that he could insure all of our money goes to OPEC to fund his fellow muslims in their desire to conquer the world for allah.

Kristallnacht: Also known as The Night of the Broken Glass. On this night, November 9, 1938, almost 200 synagogues were destroyed, over 8,000 Jewish shops were sacked and looted, and tens of thousands of Jews were removed to concentration camps. This pogrom received its name because of the great value of glass that was smashed during this anti-Jewish riot. Riots took place throughout Germany and Austria on that night.

I’m glad the mohammaden horde is showing their true stripes toward other religions.
It will become harder and harder for neo-communists to defend islam when they’re attacking people other than Christians and Jews. The muslim hates all people who don’t worship their goat-shagger god.

Muslims in Myanmar, Burma, intentionally burned down their own village to make a fire big enough to spread and burn down the entire neighboring Buddhist community.
And then they begged the world for help.
The Buddhists hate them. And the UN workers, who care only about the Muzzies.
