Chinese couple bring destroyed Bamiyan Buddha statue back to 'light'

[shjliu]

This is a great gesture by China, it must show solidarity against such crimes as destroying world heritage sites.
The bamiyan Buddha statues are now a complete loss to humanity.

agree !

Yeah right, you are crazy since you seem to believe the bible and it's nonsense. Jews never built the pyramids. Neither did Native Afghans, they were built by Buddhists from India, that is all you butthurt Indian.



You do know it wasn't for religious intolerance.

The Taliban leader was completely fine with the statues being there, he honestly didn't care.

He actually tried preserving them.

In July 1999, Mullah Mohammed Omar issued a decree in favor of the preservation of the Bamiyan Buddha statues. Because Afghanistan's Buddhist population no longer exists, so the statues are no longer worshiped, he added: "The government considers the Bamiyan statues as an example of a potential major source of income for Afghanistan from international visitors. The Taliban states that Bamiyan shall not be destroyed but protected."[52]

In early 2000, local Taliban authorities asked for UN assistance to rebuild drainage ditches around tops of the alcoves where the Buddhas were set.[53]

The Taliban supreme leader Mullah Omar explained why he ordered the statues to be destroyed in an interview:

I did not want to destroy the Bamiyan Buddha. In fact, some foreigners came to me and said they would like to conduct the repair work of the Bamiyan Buddha that had been slightly damaged due to rains. This shocked me. I thought, these callous people have no regard for thousands of living human beings -- the Afghans who are dying of hunger, but they are so concerned about non-living objects like the Buddha. This was extremely deplorable. That is why I ordered its destruction. Had they come for humanitarian work, I would have never ordered the Buddha's destruction.[58]

This shows how stupid the Taliban really are. They thought that preserving the magnificent statues will not be beneficial for the local population, foolish indeed.
The statues if preserved properly could have generated millions of revenue for the local population.

A Quran is not a statue dumbass.

You still see the Great Wall, the forbidden city, the temple of heaven....you still see almost everything here, there was a time that China was radically crazy, but they were targeting small and Confucius related relics but never iconic items. But still the damage is great and we learned from it and now we pump in billions to protect them.

You are they one who claimed the Taliban had "valid reasons". lol. ............. you still think that ?

You are an idiot who can't read.

That is true but the Taliban did have a slightly valid reason for blowing up, not that the reason was completely correct or morally ok and went way too far but the reason was sorta valid.

Did you not read the last part dipshit? Or are you illiterate, Ganga Monkey?

Sir, this is what is done by mature countries, learn from the past mistakes and never to repeat them in the future.
China is the custodian of the great Chinese civilization, there is no option other than to protect and preserve this heritage.

We should all thank the couple and china for bringing back this awesome statue

Agreed.

Anti China western media created many made up stories and reports about how we destroy Tibetan culture, come and see for yourself how we preserved Tibetan culture and architecture.

Don't waste your bandwidth on low iq ganga dwelling hindu bigots.

 

[beijingwalker]

I see.

They are doing this because they are happy in tibet and china is not destroying their culture.

Very convincing.

I guess it makes sense for the chinese to go all the way to Afghanistan to demonstrate solidarity with Buddha than take a trip to Tibet

Tibet is the hottest tourist spot in China, I m pretty sure we go to Tibet much more often than we go to Afghanistan or IOK
