Muslims like Communists cannot exist without destroying everything that was before their invasions.
Some of the worst destruction of religious relics have been perpetrated by the Muslim Turks in Asia Minor now called Turkey.
If it is non-Islamic, it is pagan, therefore not religious; if it is Islamic, then it is an idol: either way, it must be destroyed, lest it lead a Muslim into sin.
We could also destroy our women, rather than just cover them, for the same reason; but that would not be expedient, because there are times when a goat just won't do.
