Buddha Statues Destroyed By Talibans Out Of Shame 1 of 9

In A Thousand Splendid Suns, the novel he wrote after The Kite Runner, Khaled Hosseini has his hero Laila and her childhood love Tariq visit the magnificent, centuries-old Buddha statues in the valley of Bamiyan in central Afghanistan, about 100 miles west of Kabul:
The two Buddhas were enormous, soaring much higher than she had imagined from all the photos shed seen of them. Chiseled into a sun-bleached rock cliff, they peered down at them, as they had nearly two thousand years before, Laila imagined, at caravans crossing the valley on the Silk Road. On either side of them, along the overhanging niche, the cliff was pocked with myriad caves.


They were intentionally dynamited and destroyed in 2001 by the Taliban, on orders from leader Mullah Mohammad Omar, after the Taliban government declared that they were "idols" (which are forbidden under Sharia law).nternational opinion strongly condemned the destruction of the Buddhas, which was viewed as an example of the intolerance of the Taliban and of fundamentalist Islam. Japan and Switzerland, among others, have pledged support for the rebuilding of the statues.[3]

[TheIndianKafir]

@drhitman29 Your ans i am giving with others................. Islam is a Mission not Religion. its mission is to take over each concept created by God or God's Devotees. If Islam is Peaceful where Muslim Governments existed or Ruling then be aware Those Muslim are calm minding own business as they achieved Mission(Quran). Any Kafir ruling the country is under Mission of Quran . Never Let a Muslim rule this is our orIt should be War on Terror' s Mission

Interesting how hordes of angry Muslims scream bloody murder and burn effigies and flags when someone says they are going to burn a Koran or Danish cartoonists draw Mohammed, but they had no problem trashing the Bamiyan statues.

No Muslim organizations, militant or moderate, attempted to reach out to the Buddhist community. No Buddhists were rioting and threatening Muslims for that matter.

Islam is fascism

[macbrack04]

Islam....AGAIN !!!!!! All muslims are responsible for the destruction of these statues....when mosques around the world are destroyed how will muslims remember Bamiyam !!!!!!

[steafun67]

@macbrack04 so what about hitler? do you take the responsibility for him ? 6 million jews? dumb fascist

[muffdriver69]

@TheIndianKafir I hope you're right about that. We'll see. Because it's what makes us the Buddha inside. If people in the future become intolerant to each other, it doesn't matter if Buddhist exists or not, the philosophy of living is dead.

[TheIndianKafir]

@muffdriver69 Imposible as Religion still pervail in China as Different way but Budhism still more and solid in there believe. what Mai did was not enough , Communism is just stage once religion freedom Started Budhism has its way to take over as Nuclear means total destruction still waiting

[MrPatriotic12]

Islam..religion of peace. My ass

[halfbreed23]

If we would just spend the money to send them laptops, wifi, flat screen televisions, Playstation 3s and a buffet style restaurant they would be as pacified as we are.

[maroom1]

I hope one day that world wake up and destroy Islamic culture. I really wish that the West nuke The Kaaba (holiest building for muslims). I'm an ex-Muslim and live in the middle east, and I really hope that West invade us. I hope that west kill every single clergymen in our countries. These animals who attempt to silence any opposition to Islam don't deserve to live.
