Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh
September 30, 2012
Hundreds of Muslims in Bangladesh today burned down 15 homes and Buddhist temples because they said a Buddhist man insulted Islam. Apparently the insult came from a picture posted on Facebook. The police put a system in place that banned gatherings in the area of the burned buildings to try and keep the situation under control. "Home Minister Mohiuddin Khan Alamgir described the attacks on temples as a "premeditated and deliberate attempt" to disrupt harmony." (NBC) Muslims have been on edge recently because of the video made by a California man that insulted the prophet, Mohammad. Alamgir promised to rebuild the temples and compensate for the homes that were lost. Muslims honestly need to relax and realize that htey can't just kill and hurt everyone who insults them. That is not how the world works. Sometimes you just have to accept that people might not agree with your beliefs, but they are allowed to disagree.
