I'm not a Buddhist. And -to be honest- I don't believe that Buddhists are on the 'right track', religion-wise, so I'm not here to carry their water.
But their shrines were there first, LONG before the tali-whackos ever dragged their gutter-cult 'religion' into that area. Those village-idiot moslems had no reason (other than their ingrained desire to vandalize everything around them) to destroy them like that.
Islamazombies are like wild dogs that ravage every creature within their reach, killing more than they can possibly eat and pissing on what's left over.
And you AREN'T thinking about Joseph's Tomb because the US media hushed it up (it would have made the Palestinians look bad)
