[Buddha-l] Bangladesh Muslim lovefest

[Erik Hoogcarspel]

It is great to see that civilisation, in this case Facebook has reached 
the inlands of Bangladesh. I wonder how many people of the mob actually 
have seen the picture and of it really exists. This is project X Cox 
Bazaar.
Question is: is the burning caused by the Muslim faith, by some 
landowners who think to capture some more land, by power hungry 
religious leaders, by a Bangladeshi tribal mob, or by Facebook?
In Germany, where project X also caused damage, some will sue Facebook. 
The last Project X Haren (Netherlands), where a mob also burned down 
cars and stores, has been caused by a store assistant in New Zeeland who 
reposted the invitation after it had been removed by the Dutch girl who 
by accident had posted it in the first place.
We have to realize that anyone can put anything on Facebook (except nude 
tits and genitals, Facebook people are decent wasps) and get away with 
it. Apparently now spreading the rumour that something is on Facebook 
will do. Mark Zuckerberg is making money through this. I think we should 
send him a bill on behalf of the Bangladeshi Buddhists.
