There is no perpetrator named in this story, and while it is possible that it was not a jihad attack, Hindus in Bangladesh are under constant pressure and live in fear of Islamic supremacists and jihadists. Even if this temple were set on fire by “right-wing extremists,” the ongoing low-level persecution of Hindus by Muslims in Bangladesh continues. But remember: to notice would be “Islamophobic.”
“7 idols burnt as criminals set temple afire,” from the Daily Star, April 3 (thanks to Blazing Cat Fur):
