Rebuilding Bamiyan - 23 Jul 07 - Part 1

In 2001 the Taliban swept through Afghanistan's Bamiyan Valley. Their target was the colossal stone Buddha statues which had stood for over 1500 years. The world watched powerless as one of its true wonders was lost. In Rebuilding Bamiyan Al Jazeera's Nadene Ghouri travels to Bamiyan to explore the restoration work being done on the site, and to talk to those planning to rebuild the statues.

Taliban = biggest idiots ever.

Why is it a grave mistake to restore? I guess by that logic. We should let the Mona lisa rot or let the great pyramids turn into dust.

I feel ashamed for those who destroys and kills in Allah's name. Allah is not a destroyer, or a killer! He's a lover! Stop using His name in wrong ways!
