Some Muslims in India are once again taking a page from the “Palestinian” atrocity factory. Actual atrocities are so infrequent that they have to be manufactured in order to gin up outrage and justify a “defensive” jihad.
“Quran Burnt During The Recent Tripura Communal Violence? No, Viral Image Is Old,” by Jakir Hassan, The Logical Indian, October 30, 2021:
For the past few days, Tripura has been witnessing communal violence against the Muslim community. Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) held a rally to protest against the violence against Hindus in Bangladesh, which escalated into the vandalisation of mosques. Section 144 was imposed on Wednesday in Laxmipur and Kailashahar.
Amidst the violence, it was being claimed that a mosque was burnt down. However, the police have called it a rumour. In the same backdrop, a picture is viral on social media in which two people can be seen standing with burnt copies of the Quran in their hands. It is being claimed that the viral picture is of Tripura violence.
A Twitter user, while sharing this image, wrote a caption that reads, “They burnt the Quran. They demolished mosques. They killed Muslims. They raped Muslim women. Still have the audacity to blame Muslims for their crimes. They= Hindu terrorists. Allah will punish the disbelievers. #TripuraAntiMuslimRiots”.

Claim:
The viral image of the burnt Quran is from Tripura.Fact Check:
The Logical Indian Fact Check team verified the claim and found it to be false. The viral image is from Delhi’s Rohingya camp. We did a google reverse image search of the viral image, which led us to an Instagram post dated June 13 2021. Asif Mujtaba, Founder and Director of Miles2smile NGO, had posted this image and wrote that a fire broke out in Delhi’s Rohingya Refugee Camp at 5 in the morning. He also posted some other images along with the viral image in his post.After this image went viral with a false claim, he posted a clarification from his Twitter account. He wrote, “These images are from the recent fire mishap at Rohingya Refugee camp at Kanchan Kunj, New Delhi and not from Tripura. We got these images when @miles2smile_ started the relief work in June this year. Kindly do not share the misinformation”….

Infidel says
Not much different from the incident in Bangladesh where a muslim put a quran on the lap of the Hindu deity Hanuman, and stole his mace. That was followed by a week of pogroms
abu taleb says
The same thing happened in Indonesia. A photo of riot in West Kalimantan was used to provoke muslims by pretending it was happened in Central Sulawesi.
And muslims are proud of doing it. They get reward from Allah.
