RABAT — Stone carvings in Morocco's High Atlas mountains dating back more than 8,000 years and depicting the sun as a pagan divinity have been destroyed by Salafists, a local rights group said on Wednesday. "These stone carvings of the sun are more than 8,000 years old. They were destroyed several days ago," Aboubakr Anghir, a member of the Amazigh (Berber) League for Human Rights, told AFP.
"One of the carvings, called 'the plaque of the sun,' predates the arrival of the Phoenicians in Morocco," Anghir said.

If it’s in the Q’ran, we already know it.
If it’s not in the Q’ran, we don’t need to know it.
Burn it.
This was said by the true infidel.

I’m sure the pyramids and the Sphinx are next.

We can all read about or see pictures of the carvings in books. The real problem here is with the people in North Africa and the Middle East. let them kill each other. The world will be a better place with fewer Muslims.

I really wonder if the civilized countries have the tools necessary to combat these extremist Muslims.
Modern states constrained by laws that these Muslims do not recognize or respect keep the lawful governments from properly disposing of these terrorist Muslims.
The Imams that sped the hate filled Muslim religion are protected by constitutional rights from imprisonment or deportation and so are free to be recruiters for the terrorist groups that send out suicide bombers, rapist and killers.
Civilization is at a great disadvantage and I have to wonder if it has a chance.
Either we give up some of our ideals or we loose. I can’t see it any other way.

Islam has a long history of mutilation, death, and destruction.

Couple years ago I thought that the European art galleries should be replicating the masters and hiding the originals.

WOW!
8000 year old carvings ... now just wrecked, gone? Carvings don’t go out and hurt anybody... but just think of the history that’s now lost.
What primitive savages we have on earth today!
Awful!

Cultural barbarians, or, in a word, “savages”, as you can no longer say in ads in the New York subways and buses.
