because islam is intollerant. were the taliban isolated extreemist islamics? When you consider that saudi arabia and iran are governed by very similar laws, though not as draconian then one can see the taliban is not so “unique” in islam after all. Once again all that was said is “oh well”.. no protests by “moderate peacefull” muslims against this type of behavior ever occured

muslim thugs blasted 2 ancient buddh statues in afganistan. can you name me even 1 buddhist who in revenge blasted a mosque or harressed a muslim?

muslims dynamited 2 buddha statues in afganistan. can you give me the name of a buddhist who in turn dynamitted a mosque?

I am taking a history of Asian Art class and noticed that many of the ancient Buddha statues are smiling such as the Colossal Buddha at Yungang. Is there a particular reason for this, not that its a bad thing or anything, just curious.
