The temples that have been ransacked had nothing to do with the video that has enraged the Muslim mobs, but that is of no importance. Jihadis and Islamic supremacists routinely traffic in the collective guilt that Muslims falsely claim they have been subjected to in the U.S. since 9/11.
“Deadly violence in Bangladesh over Quran ‘desecration,'” AFP, October 14, 2021:
Bangladesh police shot dead four people as hundreds vandalized several Hindu temples across the Muslim-majority country.
Police opened fire on a mob of over 500 people late on Oct. 13 following a furore over footage of a Quran being placed on the knee of a figure of the Hindu monkey god Hanuman during a religious festival.
In the main incident, the mob attacked a Hindu temple and clashed with police in the southern town of Hajiganj, leaving four dead and nearly two dozen injured, including 15 police officers, local police chief Milon Mahmud told AFP.
A police inspector confirmed the four were shot dead.
Police said the local magistrate had ordered a ban on gatherings in the area and seven people had been arrested.
Bangladesh’s government ordered a probe into the violence, saying in a statement that anyone involved would be punished and asking people to maintain order. “The government has urged everyone to keep religious harmony, peace and security,” it said.
Another Hindu temple was attacked in the eastern district of Cumilla, where the alleged desecration of the Islamic holy book took place, police inspector Monir Ahmed told AFP.
“The situation is peaceful now. Hundreds of policemen, elite Rapid Action Battalion and the border guards have been deployed,” he said, adding at least 40 people had been arrested.
Police also clashed with hundreds of people in the northeastern town of Zakiganj after a crowd gathered in the town center to protest.
“Several people and a couple of police officers were injured. The mob attacked and vandalized police and local administrators’ cars. We have deployed extra police,” deputy police chief Lutfar Rahman said.
The Daily Star newspaper reported that idols of Hindu gods and temples were vandalized in two northern rural districts while authorities increased security in the southern city of Chittagong, which is home to a sizable Hindu population….

Bangladesh: Muslim mobs vandalize Hindu temples over Qur’an desecration
………………
They consider a snap of a Qur’an place on the knee of a statue of a Hindu god “desecration”? Good grief. If you did this with a Bible, no one would blink.
Muslims always need excuses to go on riots, though.
Infidel says
Essentially, they’re exercising the street-veto, just like BLM and Antifa last year. And nobody is counter-rioting against them, which is what needed to happen, but didn’t
Infidel says
I’m very familiar w/ the festival in question. It’s a purely Hindu festival, and there’s no place in it for any quran or any islamic icons. The idea that any Hindu would put a quran there under the feet of the goddess, which was the raison d’être given, is ludicrous: more likely, it was planted there by a muslim who wanted to start another jihad riot, and succeeded. Having a quran inside a Hindu pandal or temple is desecrating the latter in Hindu eyes, not the quran itself
Like I said yesterday, India needs to recognize Bangladesh as an enemy and aggressively implement the NRC. On the domestic front, Hindus need to revolt and assert their rights to celebrate their festivals, which are often a day long, although Navratri – the Shakta festival that ends tomorrow w/ Vijaya Dashami and Dusshera, lasts 10 days. But all the problems that India has on air and water quality has everything to do w/ bad management yearlong, and nothing to do w/ these festivals, whose impact on the environment, if any, is gone after a day. High time the Indian governments – both in Delhi and in the states – stopped cracking down on just Hindus

Yes–quite likely this was done by a Muslim to stir things up.
Fitna says
Indeed Infidel….India needs to grow a spine and keep smashing the Muslim rioters until they wouldn’t dare think twice of stepping out of line. It works, Gujarat was the proof. Muslims locked a busload of Hindus and burned them to death.
The Hindus in turned went crazy and slaughtered over 2,000 Muslims as I recall. Meanwhile another 700k fled the city because they didn’t want to be next.
History has proven time and time again you only win against Islam when you fight back and show no mercy, it’s pretty obvious.
I don’t believe in the harming of innocents however. The Hindu rioters themselves committed atrocities against innocent Muslim women. I think they should’ve only targeted Muslim men since they’re the ones who are behind the attacks, rapes and murders.
But the intelligent thing to do is to realize most Muslims are a bunch of violent savages and it’s best to start mass deportations. There’s plenty of room in Pakistan and Bangladesh for them.
They should do another population exchange, trade their Muslims for the persecuted Hindus, Christians and other minorities then close the Indian borders and keep Muslims out. We in the West should wake up and realize that’s our future if we allow the Muslim population to increase…we should follow suit and deport them also.
Infidel says
Reason that neither Pakistan nor Bangladesh would agree to any population exchange is that b/w them, they’d then have to take ~180 million muslims, while letting go of just 10 million Hindus in Pakistan (plus Sikhs & Christians) and some 15 million in Bangladesh
