Taliban smoking too much opium. They are protecting Buddhist artefacts instead of blowing it up.

A true muslim would not react peacefully in the sight of idols! Allahu Akbar!

Abrahamic religions are borne out of wars and conflicts in one of the most bloodiest areas in human history. That's why tolerance has never been on top of their agenda list. War and paranoia are in their DNA

On the contrary, Buddhism was established by a royal prince who seeked to gain peace and real happiness through non attachment. In inland China you will find all sorts of places of worship. Ancient Chinese people had no problem with other faiths.

I hope they destroy those idols. There is no benefit nor value in them.

There are no specific edicts about destroying idols that i know of. It was probably made up as the belief in God slowly evolved into just another religion.
When Mahomet was in charge of medina, there were pagan communities in the city. He did not order any destruction of their idols. To them their faith, to us ours.

Ch8na I believe will give conditions before any aid and projects are given to the Talibans. Among tbem, a possible gas pipeline from iran, Iraq, qatar and Turkmenistan through Afghanistan to xinjiang. Thus will bypass the shipping bottlenecks. And prevent state owned companies from outbidding one another to purchase LNG.

The sphinx was unscathed in Egypt for thousands of years. Only the nose fell off and the rest due to erosion.
