The thing I’m most worried about is if these jackasses decide to follow the Quran’s strictures against representations of the human form and destroy some irreplaceable statue or frieze because they are ‘pagan’ as they and the Taliban have done elsewhere.

Remember the Bhuddas of Bamiyan are now just rubble as is the temple in Ephesus. Damn hooligans!

There’s an old rumor that somewhere in Afghanistan is a reclining buddha (statue of course) a significant fraction of a mile long, which is kinda big. It seems as if something that size would be difficult to miss, so much so that everyone would know someone who’d either seen it or had heard where it was located.
