Not a biscuit 🇺🇸

Just emulating Muhammad 🤷🏻‍♂️ The example of Muhammad. ISIS explicitly cited Muhammad's destruction of idols in Mecca in 630 CE as justification for destroying ancient statues. A United Nations investigative report documented ISIS militants invoking that precedent in their propaganda. Ancient monuments show that societies had religious beliefs, cultures, and political institutions before Islam arrived. Eliminating those monuments can support an extremist effort to impose a single approved identity. Destroying a community's sacred places communicates that the ruling organization—not the community—determines which religious practices and historical traditions are permitted. The larger historical pattern can be summarized this way: Destroy the monument → weaken the community's connection to its past → impose a new religious and political authority. The Taliban demolished two enormous Buddhist statues carved into cliffs roughly 1,500 years earlier. Their leadership justified the destruction by declaring the statues religious idols. UNESCO describes the act as deliberate cultural destruction driven by extremist ideology. Commies and Jihadis share a common goal- destruction of Western Civilization.
