Islamists Damage/Deface Ancient Rock Carving of Buddha
Topic: Current Events 2:02 am EDT, Oct 12, 2007

Oh, I just can't HELP it, this kind of thing just BURNS me up.

This is so ugly, so spiteful, so competitive. If your idea of religion can't accept questions, and feels it has to destroy the treasures, the sacred icons and art of others, man..you're just psycho.

"Islamist radicals in Pakistan have attempted to destroy an ancient carving of Buddha by drilling holes in the rock and filling them with dynamite.


The Buddha is thought to date from the seventh century AD


The 23ft high image was damaged during the attack, which brought back memories of the Taliban's destruction six years ago of the giant Buddhas at Bamiyan, in neighbouring Afghanistan.

The Buddha, in the Swat district of north-west Pakistan, is thought to date from the seventh century AD and was considered the largest in Asia, after the two Bamiyan Buddhas."
