Why did Muslims in Afghanistan Blow up the Bamiyan Buddha Statue
wats wid buddha statue in islam country anyway?
For zeinab
Ancient history is part of history books to read & know how people lived
in certain areas long time ago.
When Prophet Mohammad SAW took over Mecca, he
destroyed all idols housed inside Kaaba to eliminate the sings & symbols of iodol worshipping, & re-established Monotheism in Mecca as his great great grand father Abraham started when he & his son Ismael built Kaaba 4000 years ago. Aghanees now are all Muslims & they followed the example of Prophet Mohammad by eliminating the signs of idolatory in their country. Afghanistan is no longer idol worshipping country, no Budhists live there, then why they should keep the Budha Statue. They didn't need it. They couldn't also sell it to highest bidder country because selling idols is Haram (prohibited) forf Muslims & they didn't want to be called idol sellers. These are not my views. This was the explanation given by Taliban government representatives when they destroyed the idol of Budha in Afghanistan.
Why does the biggest and most beautiful Buddha statue was
built right here in this muslim country in which i live in?
The Taliban diid that and youre' scolding us?
They blew up the statues because they considered them pagan
idols.
When the Savior returns (book or Revelation) to establish his Kingdom,
guess what? He will destroy all pagan relics also. They are reminders of
a pagan falsehoods that will not be tolerated in his kingdom.
Isaiah 55:8 ''For My thoughts are not ur thoughts, nor are ur ways My ways,'' says Yahweh. Ezekiel 6:3-4 ''and say, 'O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Sovereign Yahweh!' Thus says the Sovereign Yahweh to the mountains, to the hills, to the ravines, & to the valleys: ''Indeed I, even I, will bring a sword against you, & I will destroy ur high places. ''Then ur altars shall be desolate, ur incense altars shall be broken, & I will cast down ur slain men before ur idols.
Because they ( the group which did this cruel thing ) are major
control freaks.
It is so much easier for me to read standard English.
Before Islam came to Afghanistan, Buddhism was one of the proiminent
religions.
The Taliban blew up the statues because of their misguided interpretation
of Islamic law. I am not aware of any ruling in Islam that obligates us to destroy iconic or idolic statues of other religions. It is possible, though, that one does exist & I am not yet aware of it. I read a lot of literature on Islamic jurisprudence, but I am by no means a scholar. I as a human being am tempted to say that the Taliban blew up the statues because of their lack of humanity.
Because they thought it was against their religion and their
God (idolatry).
In a theocracy, all ''other'' is the enemy and a threat to the
empowered.
According to islam idol worshipping is sin & afghanistan wasnt
a islam country untill the muslim rules invaded the country
''Hinduism in Afghanistan has existed for almost as long as Hinduism
itself. The religion was widespread in the region until the advent of
Islam.
Hinduism in Afghanistan dates back to the Vedic periods when the country shared a common culture with India. Along with Buddhism & Zoroastrianism, Hinduism was also practiced among the local people, who were a heterogeneous mix of Iranian, Nuristani & Indo-Aryan background. Many of the local Iranian peoples embraced the Hindu religion & culture, including the Scythians, the Parthians & the Kambojas. The Hindu Shahi Kings who ruled Afghanistan till 10th century AD were the descendants of Persian & Scythian converts to Hinduism. Afghanistan gradually converted to Islam with the Islamic conquest.''
Nobody really cares. Everything is impermanent - even statues
of the buddha, so us buddhists can learn from it and use it in our own
personal practise.
you were doing fine until you asked why a buddha statue was in
a muslim country.
Yes.
Why are there Christians in Iraq or Africa or China.. or the United
States?
Because people expand -move- and bring their beliefs with them.
''Why did Muslims in Afghanistan Blow up the Bamiyan Buddha
Statue? ''
Religious Intolerance is ramped!

anyway?''
Buddhism is a much more Ancient Religion.
