Muslims in Bangladesh torch Buddhist temples
AMRITSAR, India -- Hundreds of angry Muslims in southeast Bangladesh torched 
at least 10 Buddhist temples and dozens of homes Sunday after alleging that 
a Buddhist man insulted Islam on his Facebook page, authorities said.

The protest gained momentum late Saturday in the area of Cox's Bazar about 
200 miles from the capital of Dhaka when Muslims, claiming that a Facebook 
page showed a burned copy of the Koran, headed to several Buddhist villages 
in the area.
