Throughout Islam's history in Afghanistan the statues were preserved and no Muslim doctrine has suggested their destruction". Egyptian religious leader
This is from the link that you provided. Did you care to read that part. Muslims throughout the world condemned it.
I guess this was meant to be a muslim joke that you didn't get!!!!
Muslims DID destroy the statue many years ago. First they damaged the faces of any religious statue.
The Muslims however didn't much damage except chapping the faces of Buddha's Statues.
Didn't much damage doesn't mean they DIDN'T !
During the modern era of Afghanistan this historical heritage was badly damaged during the regime of Amir Abdul Rahman (1880-1901) when Amir conquered this region after a long and sever battle with the Hazaras (1880-1893). He not only killed and forced thousands of Hazara to migrate but also destroyed the whole historical Heritage, specially the Heritage of Bamyan which belonged to the Hazaras, in revenge.
I guess this guy Abdul Toiletbowl must have been in his real life a jew disguised as a muslim.
The early Muslims were generally hostile towards Buddhists. They referred to Buddhists as 'idol-worshipers,' which had unfortunate associations with the portrayal of the Prophet's Meccan enemies in the Qur'an. This probably, at least in part, accounts for the unabatingly harsh treatment Muslims reserved for the Buddhists they encountered in the course of their conquest."
