Are you getting the idea that there's something deeply wrong with the Islamic religion?
These people are simply nuts.

Why?
Because they want to destroy one of humanity's greatest artistic treasures?
Or because the Taj Mahal is one of the finest examples of Islamic art?

"Or because the Taj Mahal is one of the finest examples of Islamic art?"

"Though some attribute the design to Geronimo Verroneo, an Italian in the Mughal service, evidence suggests that it was designed by Ustad Isa Khan Effendi, a Persian, who assigned the detailed work to his pupil Ustad Ahmad."
