I was thinking the same thing. They want to rewrite history? Let’s help them do it and erase all evidence that Arabs ever existed.

[GOPJ]

Only a finger removing machine...<.I>

AND it looks like crap... Gad! What losers - 700 years...

[sagar]

“I hope your comments were tongue-in-cheek.”

Yes, they were.

[King Moonracer]

My first thought too.

[TigersEye]

Just picking up where they left off in the 16th century. Between the 12th and 16th centuries muslims destroyed thousands of Hindu temples and nearly all Buddhist temples. Of course tens of thousands of people were slaughtered and enslaved in the process too.

[LYDIAONTARIO]

Isis, jarret, 0bama, all the same group

[dr_lew]

Amr al-Azm, a Syrian anthropologist and historian, on his Facebook page called the destruction “a tragedy and catastrophic loss for Iraqi history and archaeology beyond comprehension."

Well, pull you're head out .. .... ... and take a look around. Then maybe you'll start to comprehend what's going on.

[The Antiyuppie]

You can bet that 99% of the finger removing machine is built from non-Arab parts.

She is upset about the destruction of ancient artifacts by the same bunch that burned the great library of Alexandria because it was “unIslamic” . What a fool this person is to think that the barbarians of Islam would give a damn about anything from before the time of the child raping brigand named Mohamed.

[TexasFreeper2009]

Islam trying to bring back the dark ages it seems!

(nothing new under the sun!)

[lavaroise]

The whore of Babylon is being decapitated by the beast in downed statues metaphore a here... Soon it will be real.

[kaehurowing]

Islam is evil.

[1010RD]

No idol worship, check. How do they rationalize praying towards the Kaaba and venerating the Black Rock?

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks NYer.
