Just after the riots on Rohingyas in neighboring Myanmar where hundred of thousands people displaced and many killed. This violence was initiated by the exiled Rohingyas and the local Rohingya sympathizers. No one was killed. BD gov payed for the damage. And took action against the people. But unlike our neighboring Arakan where the killers are freely roaming under the patronage of the gov. Come with something better next time.
The 2012 Ramu violence refers to a series of attacks on Buddhist monasteries, shrines, and houses of Buddhist inhabitants in Ramu Upazila in Cox's Bazar District inBangladesh by local Muslim mobs on the midnight past 29 September 2012. The mobs destroyed 22 Buddhist temples and monasteries and 50 houses in reaction to a tagging of an image depicting the desecration of a Quran on the timeline of a fake Facebook account under the Buddhist male name."[1] The violence later spread to Ukhia Upazila in Cox's Bazar District[2] and Patiya Upazila in Chittagong District where Buddhist monasteries, Sikh Gurudwaras and Hindu temples were targeted for attacks.
An estimated 25,000 Islamists[3] participated in the violence directed at Buddhists and Hindus and over 300 people were arrested in connection to the attacks.

Groups of Buddhist monks and Hindu groups in Burma,[12] India,[13] Sri Lanka,[14] and Thailand[14] demonstrated in response to the anti-Buddhist violence in Bangladesh. InColombo, Sri Lanka, some protested outside the Bangladeshi embassy and a petition was delivered condemning the attacks.
Some windows of the Bangladeshi embassy in Colombo, Sri Lanka were vandalized before police arrived and dispersed the protest.[14]
So you are telling me those 25000 mobs were from demolition company and their contract was to demolish property only ?
