Village burned down due to Facebook post.

[Trollhammer]

A mob of up to 20,000 Muslims burned down a Hindu village in Bangladesh after rumours spread that a resident had insulted Prophet Mohammed on Facebook.

A mob burned down 30 houses in Tharkurbari village after the supposed post by a young man from the Hindu minority community. Protesters began looting homes, and several people were shot, the Dhaka Tribune reported. Reports suggest that at least one person died and five more were seriously injured in the attacks on the village about 200 miles from Dhaka.

India’s External Affairs Minister Sushma Swara said in a Tweet, ‘We have received a detailed report of Indian High Commission in Dhaka. ‘Bangladesh authorities have assured him that compensation will be paid to affected persons to rebuild their houses and adequate security will be provided.

Houses were burnt after rumours spread that an offensive Facebook status had been posted by a man named Titu Roy, who originally came from the area. Police have since arrested 53 suspects after the attacks, according to Rangpur’s Additional Superintendent of Police Zakir Hossain.

Sad but mildly intresting to see how Middle Ages is "still live" in some regions of this world.

They don't need much convincing to burn down Hindu villages. They were probably looking for an excuse for ages.

When people use religion to justify their bigotry, savagery and criminal activity...

Personally no, but seeing the average social media user these days I'm surprised more villages haven't been burned yet.

social media has a lot to answer for. simply put the human brain is not built to handle "likes" and these upvotes / downvotes.

Reminds of this time when some country burned down another country because there were rumors of weapons of mass destruction.

No need for hitmans anymore, just say something on Facebook and someone will tear down whole neighbourhood for you.
