Members  of the Buddhist minority in the Cox's Bazar area in the southeast of  the country said unidentified people were bent on upsetting peaceful  relations between Muslims and Buddhists. Muslims took to the  streets in the area late on Saturday to protest against what they said  was a photograph posted on Facebook that insulted Islam. The  protesters said the picture had been posted by a Buddhist and they  marched to Buddhist villages and set fire to temples and houses. Police said they had deployed extra security forces and banned gatherings in Buddhist-dominated areas. "We  brought the situation under control before dawn and imposed  restrictions on public gatherings," said Salim Mohammad Jahangir, Cox's  Bazaar district police superintendent. Many people in  predominantly Muslim Bangladesh have been angered in recent days by a  film made in California that mocks the Prophet Mohammad. Muslims  in Bangladesh and beyond have also been outraged by violence over the  border in Myanmar where members of the majority Buddhist community  clashed with minority Muslims this year. Police had escorted the man accused of posting the insulting photograph and his mother to safety, Jahangir said. Sohel  Sarwar Kajal, the Muslim head of the council in the area where the  arson took place, said he was trying to restore communal peace. "We are doing everything possible to quell tension and restore peace between the communities," he told reporters. <img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/e/e2/Reuters_logo.svg/60px-Reuters_logo.svg.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
