If you refer to my original post it offers up that link as an example of how 
Hindu claims are rebutted, which is the thrust of the Wiki piece. I 
reintroduced the link because they mention temple burnings in Bangladesh 
which the newspaper article characterized as "rare".

I don't own the book, and have never read it, so I can't provide additional 
details.

and the hyperbolic "worst ethnic cleansing in modern history"
