Muslims Killing in Burma and our Social Media Sensations

July 17, 2012 · International ·

In now a days people are posting pictures with captions like Muslims killing in Burma, Muslims slaughtered by Buddhists in Burma..

I have search reality of few pics and found following:

A picture shared on facebook:

I have found original version here:

http://www.tibetancommunity.be/news/chinaquake.html

This picture was taken in 2010 regarding Earthquake in China and Tibetans community help and rescue in China. Now Islamic political parties and some other elements are sharing this image as Muslims killing / slaughter in Burma.

One more image is spreading on social media with logo of Jamat-e-Islami having caption “terrorists of Buddhism of Burma kills 500 Muslims” (I checked the official FB page related to it & it came to me that there is nothing like that)

By sharing all these doesn’t mean that Muslims aren’t killed in Burma but what I mean is we are sharing everything without verification and authenticity of image.
