(AFP) — At the Maldives’ National Museum, smashed Buddhist statues are testament to the rise of Islamic extremism and Taliban-style intolerance in a country famous as a laid-back holiday destination.
On Tuesday, as protesters backed by mutinous police toppled president Mohamed Nasheed, a handful of men stormed the Chinese-built museum and destroyed its display of priceless artifacts from the nation’s pre-Islamic era.
“They have effectively erased all evidence of our Buddhist past,” a senior museum official told AFP at the now shuttered building in the capital Male, asking not to be named out of fear for his own safety.
“We lost all our 12th century statues. They were made of coral stone and limestone. They are very brittle and there is no way we can restore them,” he explained.

Islam has to be the most insecure cult ever. They must destroy anything that does not promote Islam.
“The authorities have banned photography of the damage, conscious that vandalism of this kind which echoes the 2001 destruction of the Bamiyan Buddha statues in Afghanistan by the Taliban is damaging for the nation’s image.”
Islam is damaging for the nation’s image.
Dont worry.
We all know that this is merely an isolated instance trumped up by islamaphobes trying to cover for the terrorist actions committed by Christians and Jews on a daily basis.
The simple solution is to boycott the Maldives and let travel agents know it is because of the terrorists. The economic impact will starve the Islamists out of business.

That's how it's done, and always has been. It's a lesson the good guys need to understand and embrace. Or die.. our pick. |
They generally concentrate on anything that, even if for just 5 minutes, once was Islamic... and even if that 5 minute gain was as a result of some injustice they performed, force they applied, and/or killing/maiming they accomplished.
When they attain that, they'll grab the remainder.
Islam is the mother-of-all Occupy movements, with the location to occupy everything that’s not currently theirs.
after 9/11 we should have destroyed them all.
but Bush protected his buddies in Saudi and Egypt....Crony capitalism triumphed
Islam: The cult of death and destruction.
Once the world comes to its senses they will be shot on sight just like any other rabid animal.

What a bunch of filthy animals.
islam...the Abomination of Desolation.
That`s what happens when you don`t cage the apes. Cage them or chain them by the neck to something immobile.. then these things won`t happen.
How long until Ron Paul pipes-up to say it’s the natural consequence of our foreign policy of occupation and bombing?
Not just doesn't promote Islam but their Loony brand of Islam.
That's true. I've said before that if Islam succeeds in taking over the world you will see more bloodshed than all past bloodshed when the Islamic factions start fighting each other. Islam does not know how to live in peace.
it’s sort of like here where intolerant christians attack other christians
