Ethnic & historical ‘cleansing’ ...
Intolerance is their signature.

""O man, whoever you are and wherever you come from, for I know that you will come--I am Cyrus, son of Cambyses, who founded the Empire of the Persians and was king of the East. Do not grudge me this spot of earth which covers my body." Cyrus"
This is looking a lot like what the Taliban did in Afghanistan. They blew up millenia-old Buddhist statues to erase their non-Islamic history. If left on their own, there would be no evidence of civilization prior to 700 A.D.

“Cyrus was thought to be a Zoroastrian and was one of the first rulers to enforce a policy of religious tolerance on his huge kingdom.”
Well, Muslims can’t abide by religious tolerance, can they?
Radical Islam is anti-history and anti-culture.
This king is such a hero in pre-Islamic Persian culture that his name is a common one for boys. Will they all have to change their names now?
Quite Talibanesque of them.
Reminds me of the American Leftist Taliban who are trying to destoy all Monuments, symbols, etc. of the South’s Confederate Heritage.
That very Tailban of Mullahs of Iran
Cyrus was thought to be a Zoroastrian and was one of the first rulers to enforce a policy of religious tolerance on his huge kingdom.
I'm gonna get slammed for this, but all pagan religions were more or less "tolerant" because they believed in multiple "gxds." Judaism was for a long time the one exception because it was the only Monotheistic religion. The first brush the Jews had with pagan intolerance was Antiochus. Islam is intolerant because it inherited this from its predecessor monotheistic religions.
I don't wish to be misunderstood, but many conservatives are allowing the moslems to manipulate them into sounding like Voltaire. Strictly and objectively speaking, there is no "right" to worship false "gxds" or follow false religions. The whole goal of history is a world in which all mankind joins in acknowledging the One True G-d.
I have no wish to see islam imposed on anyone, and my skin crawls at how secularist liberals have adopted a double standard on its own "theocratic" tendencies, but just because islam isn't the One True Religion doesn't mean there isn't one!

Thanks Alouette and Blam. If I had to guess, mine would be that the mullahcracy isn't going to be calling the shots very much longer. I hope Cyrus' monument makes it. |

Its long past time when the civilized world should let these savages know that they cannot continue to destroy, deface, steal, terrorize and otherwise ruin this planet.
The problem with Islam is Islam. Unless it can be brought screaming and kicking inot the modern world, it be surpressed by all civilized nations for what it is - a nihilistic death cult.
