But of course it is interesting that one of the most militant religions of the world seems to preferably target relics of one of the most peaceful religions of the world.

Buddhists are the nerds of the religious world. It's no surprise that they are bullied.

You need to go ?

Are there photos from before the attack? I think the head may have fallen apart / been destroyed earlier. When there are byzantine paintings in Anatolia, populace is usually satisfied with destroying the faces of the saints.

oh, and Mohammedans is considered offensive, because some believe it implies that muslims worship Muhammad. Me personally, I am not appaled by this term, because it is the same as Manicheans, Nestorians, Eutychians, Lutherans, Calvins, and many more religious group esp. of christian tradition named by their founder. But it'd be better not to use this term.

They really find the word mohammedan offensive, they think they are being called Mohammed worshippers.

Heresson is right

[Zevico]

Aneeshm, the Mohammedans will come for you across the desert, waving scimitars above their heads and screaming "Allah"!
