Why these attacks on minorities?

A. H. Dewan, South Kafrul, Dhaka
The burning of about 30 Hindu houses in Sathia of Pabna and terrorising the inmates to leave their home on a false and fabricated charge that a Hindu boy defamed our Prophet through internet just prove our vigorous claim of Bangladesh being a country of communal harmony false. We also had to see the destruction of Buddhist houses and temples including the priceless relics. Why this humiliation to other religious communities from their Muslim brothers when they were born and grew up with them?  Where lies the virtue of humankind? The Muslims being the majority here in Bangladesh have the sacred duty to protect the minorities, but instead they commit such crimes.
