I had in mind the situation in the Chittagong hill tracts. So that is 
specifically Muslim attacks on Buddhist monks. I don't have a link to an 
article. Kate Crosby gave a paper partly on this subject recently, but I 
don't think she has published anything yet.


Of course, East Pakistan/Bangladesh has rather a bad record for the 
treatment of other non-Muslim minorities too.
