I'm a bit confused. The Taliban destroyed centuries old Budda's, but locked the Torah away for safe keeping?

[Cicero]

The prohibition is against images, pictures, statues, idols. The Torah is a written scroll, which is a completely different matter.

[Zipporah]

Muslims would respect the Torah but not a Buddah. The buddah would be considered an idol. Muslim men can marry Jews and Christians but NOT buddists or hindus. Remember the muslims recognize the the first 5 books of the bible and view Jesus as a prophet..
