Total Ignorance Is Their Only Strength

Where are the pompous directors from the Metropolitan Museum who protested about the looting after the fall of Baghdad in 2003?

Islam, like Pol Pot, needs a Year Zero of total ignorance for total obedience. The submission of the individual is essential for power. This applies to religion and the dictatorial religion like movements like Global Warming, which cuts off all discussion or the two sided coin of Commuinism-Fascim. m/r 

Why Do Islamist Love Bulldozing History So Much?

by DANIEL PIPES March 25, 2015 

A very old tradition has taken a newly destructive turn.

The recent bulldozing by the Islamic State of the ancient cities of Nimrud, Hatra, and Korsabad, three of the world’s greatest archaeological and cultural sites, is just this group’s latest round of assaults across the large area under its control. Since January 2014, the flamboyantly barbaric Islamic State, also known as ISIS, has blown up Shiite mosques, bulldozed churches, pulverized shrines, and plundered museums.

Worse, the ISIS record fits into an old and common pattern of destruction of historical artifacts by Muslims.

Some attacks target the works of other, rival religions, such as Orthodox churches in northern Cyprus (since 1974), the Bamiyan Buddhas in Afghanistan (in 2001), the Ghriba synagogue in Tunisia (2002), a historic Hindu temple in Malaysia (2006), and the Assyrian antiquities (“idols”) in Mosul (2015). On a personal level, a Saudi national smashed historic statues at theSenso-Ji Buddhist temple in Tokyo in 2014.

Nor is this danger over: Islamic leaders have bruited plans to destroy Persepolis in Iran, St. Catherine’s Monastery in the Sinai, and the Great Pyramids of Egypt.

In some cases, conquerors turn non-Islamic holy places into Islamic ones, thereby asserting the supremacy of Islam. This can be done by converting them into Islamic sanctities, such as the Kaaba in Mecca, the Cathedral of St. John in Damascus, and the Hagia Sophia in Constantinople, or building on top of them, as with Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem and Babri Masjid in Ayodhya, India.
