25,000 Muslim Rioters Torch Buddhist Temples, Homes In Bangladesh
Ever since the attacks on the US embassies overseas were outed as the work of the same Salafi Jihadists the US has been backing in the Arab spring to overthrow its enemies the story has all but disappeared of the radar of the corporate media.
But the Muslim riots across Africa, the Middle East and Asia still continue today and it is now more clear than every the anti-muslim film was nothing more than excuse for the extremists who follow the Nazi-style Saudi produced sect of Islam to carry out violence as part of their plan to bring the world under strict Sharia law.
The latest exhibit to back this assertion is the massive crowd of 25,000 extremists setting torching the homes and religious sites of Buddist temples in Bangladesh.
These attacks can not be blamed on the the film or hatred of western freedoms as their is no connection between these Buddhists and the west.
Instead the attacks make it clear that the United States needs to once and for all start paying attention to the elephant in the room – Saudi Arabia’s state sponsored terrorism and campaign Islamic Jihad it is exporting in their plans for global domination.
Certainly corporate media news outlets in the business of echoing government propaganda will continue to spew the government’s narrative this about the film but the reality on the ground clearly shows that is not case.
The recent wave of anti-US protests is a wake up call to Western governments that the Arab World will not tolerate outside attempts to shape the “Arab Awakening” to foreign benefit, diplomat and former spy.

More from RT on the attacks on the Buddhists:
Tens of thousands of rioters left a trail of destruction in southeastern Bangladesh as they torched Buddhist temples and homes.
Tens of thousands of rioters left a trail of destruction in southeastern Bangladesh as they torched Buddhist temples and homes near the town of Ramu. The violence was sparked by a photo posted on Facebook that allegedly insulted Islam.
A 25,000-strong mob set fire to at least five temples and dozens of homes throughout the town and surrounding villages after seeing the picture, which they claimed was posted by Uttam Barua, a local Buddhist man, AFP reported.
The group chanted “God is Great” while setting fire to the centuries-old temples.
“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.
Security forces were deployed to contain the uprising “At least 100 houses were damaged. We called in army and border guards to quell the violence,” district administrator Joinul Bari said.
No casualties were reported, and authorities did not confirm whether police arrested any of the rioters.
Buddhist monks protested against the attacks on Sunday, forming a human chain in the country’s capital of Dhaka.
Bangladeshi Home Minister Mohiuddin Khan Alamgir said the attacks were preplanned, and vowed to bring the perpetrators to justice.
“The attack was conducted in a coordinated manner. Temples and houses were set on fire using patrol and gun powder. It would have been impossible if the attacks were not planned,” he told Bangladesh’s Bdnews24.
The government will provide financial assistance for reconstruction of the damaged houses and temple, Alamgir said.
Before launching their attacks, Muslims publicly rallied against the picture and called for Barua’s arrest. However, several Facebook users said that Barua did not post the photo, and that he was linked to the photo after group called ‘Insult Allah’ tagged his name on the image.
Religious tensions on the rise
Buddhists make up less than one percent of Bangladesh’s population, and sectarian clashes between they and the country’s Muslim majority are rare. Tensions between the communities have risen since June, when deadly clashes erupted between Buddhists and Muslim Rohingya in nearby Myanmar.
Thousands of Muslims also took to the streets across Bangladesh over the past few weeks in protest against a US-made video and French cartoons that mock the Prophet Muhammad.
On Saturday, tens of thousands of activists from the Islamist group Jamiyat-e-Hizbullah protested the video and cartoons near the national mosque in Dhaka.
