Indonesia: Muslim group calls for destruction of "un-Islamic" statues

They're only destroying Christian or Buddhist statues when they appear in public places. If they're kept inside churches or temples, that's fine. This recalls the dhimmi laws that stipulate that non-Muslims must not make any public display of their religion, such as holding processions or ringing bells, but could practice it behind closed doors, in hushed, furtive tones.

Hopefully, this fringe group won't be able to force legislation supporting this.

 

You know, people like Glenn Beck and Ann Coulter.

 

trap the statues with napalm so the ones doing the destruction can get a backlash from doing so.

 

In Public? You mean like Museums? Oh no... There goes history and culture. Gone forever in a moment's mob attack. Well at least it's a time honored tradition for preserving ignorance.

Don't like evolution? Attack the dinosaur bones.

Don't want to know about the Voodoo that you do? Go for the native history section.

Hate naked statues of people? Shave off their marbled private areas.

Human rights stealing the wind from your jihadist sails? Torch the library books for inciting witchcraft.

 

Kind of like destroying the giant Buddha statues in Afghanistan:

Too bad Afghanistan fell to Islam, world history might be much different.

 

Islamic Jihadists try very hard to erase the far superior cultures it trampled over.
