There is a fatwa (a legal ruling under Islam) calling for the destruction of religious icons, statues, etc. of non-Muslims. In the early days of Islam, the prophet of Islam, Muhammad, destroyed statues and criticized sculptors. In his fatwa, Grand Mufti Ali Gomaa said of the prophet Muhammad that sculptors will be among those receiving the harshest punishment on Judgment Day.
Devout Muslims of the Taliban have destroyed the iconic Buddhas of Bamiyan, smashed down the fabled “end of the world” gate in the ancient city of Timbuktu and even called for the destruction of Egypt’s ancient pyramids and the Sphinx.
Deeply religious Muslim movements across the world have developed a reputation for the destruction of historic artifacts, monuments and buildings.

They view allot of these historic places as “idolatry” and by destroying them makes rewriting history easier because any reminders are gone. Meanwhile these simple minded inbred, godless beasts worship a meteorite! That’s why they go to Mecca – worship a rock that serves as the cornerstone to the black cube and kiss it as they believe Mohammad did. Can you imagine all the germs on it? Muslims are not known for cleanliness ans because of that are magnets for diseases.
Islam has a star and a crescent shaped moon so it is plausible that this could be true.
Judaism was unique in introducing a monotheistic God rather than a plurality of gods that was the norm in those days. This impressed allot of people.

This sounds like muslums blew up a muslum shrine and the machine has yet to be invented that could measure how I could possibly care less.

I could care less. I was hoping to read that they took out a few thousand moslems, along with the shrine.

The last time that they did something of this magnitude, it was a day or two before 9/11. They also assassinated a tribal leader at the same time, that was “friendly” towards the west. Maybe we should heighten our security. These pos’ may be up to more shlt.

Islamic culture appears to be a race to determine who is the most barbaric and savage of all.

I don’t suppose you’ll be waiting for anyone to click on the “up” arrow, on your comment. You might be waiting a lifetime, or until eternity, but then again, there are a few “people”, who have mental problems. You might have a friend in that area, who will help you out.

And it’s so amazing, that so many “higher-ups”, people in power, leaders, the elite, all of them, can’t figure that out for themselves. Wouldn’t it be great, if governments would ask their “people”, or take a vote, about subjects, such as islam, and muzlims, and take that into consideration, when they want to know what to do? Seeing how most of us “little people”, can see, what they cannot.

what else is new?
all islam does is destroy, rape, slaughter and eradicate/blow up everything in their path of total destruction not only in their own lands but now ours as well.
and the left can’t get enough of them which should tell you all the left is as vile, dangerous, and insane as this death cult and SHOULD NOT BE GIVEN ANY MEDIA COVERAGE OR PASS/RIGHTS WHEN THEY COMMIT CRIMES, ATTACKS AND PROTESTS AGAINST FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY.
THE LEFT IS THE FAR, FAR LEFT ONLY! tHERE NO LONGER IS SIMPLY THE ‘LEFT ‘ ANYMORE AS THEY ARE NOW RADICALIZED IN THEIR HATE INTOLERANCE AGAINST WHITES, JEWS, FREEDOMS, DEMOCRACY AND PEACE. THE LEFT ARE ISLAM, BLM, ‘ANTIFA’! TIME TO BRING THEM ALL DOWN, ENFORCE THE LAWS AGAINST THEM AND NOT GIVE THEM THE PRESS THEY SO CRAVE!
ISLAM IS NOT GOING TO STOP UNTIL THEY HAVE WIPED ALL CIVILIZATION OFF THE PLANET ALONG WITH WHAT WE BUILT AND FOUGHT FOR!
WOULD YOU INVITE A CRIMINAL GANG INTO YOUR HOME AND ALLOW THEM TO DESTROY, SLAUGHTER AND RAPE YOU WHILE STEALING EVERYTHING WHICH IS YOURS?????? WELL WE IN THE WEST ARE DOING EXACTLY THIS AND ALLOWING OUR :”CHILDREN” TO BE INDOCTRINATED’ BY THIS DEATH CULT /ENEMY OF THE ENTIRE PLANET WHILE PROTECTING THIS ENEMY , EMPOWERING AND ENRICHING THEM AS THEY GROW IN NUMBERS .
i CALL THAT INSANITY and now believe that perhaps we westerners/white DESERVE TO BE WIPED OUT FOR ALLOWING THIS!
Soon there will be NO PLACE on the planet safe for anyone left.

And to think, these are the ones, that our government keeps meeting with:
Taliban hopeful on deal amid new round of talks with US

New round of US-Taliban talks starts in Doha
http://www.spacewar.com/reports/New_round_of_US-Taliban_talks_starts_in_Doha_999.html
That’s only 2 of MANY articles of this subject. Point being, they are “islam”, and NO one, but other muslims are able to make deals, with their “brothers”. I can just see the Taliban laughing after the “talks” and “meetings”.
Our government STILL does not understand koran, and islam! They can talk “blue in the face”, or into the “cows come home”, but they’ll never figure out, why the “cow jumped over the moon”…
