#2 We need to understand just how significant this action is. The islamists have dedicated themselves to destroying any religious symbol that isn't muslim. If they win, they will destroy all the cathedrals of Europe, all the religious paintings of the 16th and 17th century, the Parthenon of Greece, the temples of the Egyptian pharoahs, and anything else that would remind anyone of other religions. We're currently seeing the attempt to destroy the "Wailing Wall" in Israel, and we've seen the desecration of the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem. Such narrow-minded, bigoted, anal people should never be allowed to succeed in turning the clock back to the seventh century. Both they and their moon god need to be given a massive whack that will put an end to their pretentions of world domination. Failing to do that will result in the destruction of both Western and Eastern civilizations that are far older, far more advanced, and far more able to function in just about any situation.

#4 We need to understand just how significant this action is. The islamists have dedicated themselves to destroying any religious symbol that isn't muslim.

This one simple fact cannot be overstated. Islam seeks nothing less than Global Cultural Genocide. Few, if any, Western architectural or artistic treasures would survive Islam's withering embrace. Notre Dame's fabulous Rose Window would be nothing more than an oversized bull's eye for target practice.

Islam must be crushed. Not stopped, crushed. It is incompatible with all modern cultures and carries with it unimaginable barbarity and inhumanity. We deserve far better after so many centuries of hard-won progress.

#5 Also Islam has destroyed its own historical monuments (e.g., in Mecca where cemetaries holding the remains of Mohammud's comrades and family were bulldozed).

Salafists did it. As they destroyed muslim cemetaries in Bosnia. Its also Salafists (radical violent ones at that) who are destroying this Bhudda.

In afghanistan, by contrast, the muslim govt wants to rebuild the Bamiyan buddhas.
