Hundreds of angry Muslims torched Buddhist temples and homes in
southeastern Bangladesh early Sunday, complaining that a Buddhist man
posted an anti-Islam photograph on Facebook.
Muslims in the Cox's Bazar area, near the border with Buddhist-majority Burma, set fire to at least five Buddhist temples and dozens of homes. The rioters say a local Buddhist man posted a photograph that defamed the Quran, the Muslim holy book. The protesters took to the streets late Saturday.
Police say the situation was brought under control early Sunday.
It was not immediately clear if there were any casualties or if any arrests were made.

British created death cult of Wahhabism aka pseudo Salafism is a religion of tolerance ?
Buddhist Temples have survived in Islamic countries for centuries...but they could not survive under the death cult of Wahhabism. Even Islamic religious sites could not not survive the death cult of Wahhabism which is now protected by the USA.
The death cult of Wahhabi have just been revved up by the USA and their Saudi "Friends", help to keep the "war on terror" to continue and billions of dollars are flowing into the Zionist war profiteers.
It is not Iran that should be bombed...in Iran there are still Jews living there and praying in their Synagogues...In Saudi Arabia there is no Church, Synagogues, Buddhist nor Hindu Temple is allowed...Shia are persecuted and Islamic heritage has been destroyed there....
Muammar Muhammad Abu Minyar al-Gaddafi respected Christian and Jewish religious sites in Libya but USA-UK-French-Saudi-Qatari financed terrorists destroyed them recently.
The Gulf Cooperation Council - a club for Wahhabi Sunni Arab monarchs -- the institutional home of the counter-revolution, directed against not only Iran but also against the forces for change in the region.
It is a fact...Americans and British are protecting Wahhabi extremists...In Syria Christians and their Churches were safe before the Westerners began sending their Wahhabi Fanatics killing innocent Syrian civilians.
