When Taliban broke the Bamiyan Buddha statues, they were clearly doing it for religious reasons.
It wasn't like they thought -- “Hey dude! Maybe there's a fcukload of treasure hidden behind those statues. So let's blow them up and get rich".
It was more like -- “Hey dude! The infidels built these statues.. And these statues are haram in Islam, so let's blow them up.. Who cares for the religious rights of the infidels..eh?"
.
Completely wrong .
They didn't do it for religious reasons , taleban foreign minister gave an interview about it that an Italian or Sweden company was spending 4 million dollars to rebuild the statues , taleban requested them to give this money for people's health and medical as the area was in a urgent need of medical and other facilities . But those Europeans didn't listen them and didn't give a pie for health rather spent it all on these lifeless statues .
So taleban noticing their arrogance destroyed their statues .. destroyed their selfishness . !!
It was more like -- “Hey dude! The infidels built these statues.. And these statues are haram in Islam, so let's blow them up.. Who cares for the religious rights of the infidels..eh?"
Oh really? If islam is involved in this act then why don't destroy these statues in past 5000 years . Those statues had thousand history , why didnot muslims destroyed them then ? Or why didn't muslims destroyed it when Afghanistan came under islam federation during caliph umar r,.a ? Why now ?
Plz clear your misunderstanding about islam .
That is why I don't trust this western media ,they'll pick one story and will create a hue against islam and muslims .
Qandeel baloch got killed and west got mad on islam , mukhtara mai got tortured , West gets mad on islam , terrorists kill innocent muslims , West gets mad on islam .
And I'm not saying that West doesn't have any positive points , I really like their justice and other million attributes but here I'm only highlighting nagative characteristics .
And no I'm not comparing budhas statue with this robbery , I'm comparing West's hue and cry when a muslim does something similar like this christian guy who beat that innocent muslim man .
If a muslim has beaten up a christian , next hour you'll see West getting mad on islam .
Disgusting. Really horrible news. I usually do not wish vengeance upon anyone but I find myself hoping something really bad happens to whoever did this.
I don't think that is the case. In fact individual events such as these are much more highlighted when they happen in countries where traditionally minority rights have been respected. You may argue that minority rights are respected in the Muslim world as well, but once all facts are on the table, the usual response is either defiance ("so what, what can you do about it") or pointing fingers ("please, look at beef killing, Gujarat riots, etc.").
In other words, no one expects anything from societies that set a low standard. Canada is a society that sets very high standards in humaneness towards migrants and refugees, so they are supposed to be accountable.
Well short story , I really don't like islam and muslims being generalised for the actions of few by west.
