Why didn't any of you speak up when the Buddhist statues were destroyed?

We did.

By 2001 half Jow Forums wasn't born.

I was literally seething

And when they were destroying art in Syrian museums.

We did.
Now ISIS is destroyed.

It was our property. The Mauryan Empire constructed those Buddhist shrines when they ruled Afghanistan followed by Indo-Greeks.

These motherfuckers will pay. Inshallah.

I was pissed off, but it went into the memoryhole like everything else. Thanks for reminding me.

Wasn’t spoken here? Is this really a nationalist site and not for everyone?

I have no roots in Central Asia or the Middle East. It's not my culture to protect.

>ISIS is destroyed
ISIS is a Mossad project

I did. It made me angrier than the beheadings.

Fuck muzzies

>gook statue

Nothing of value was lost.

And that project has been decimated. If Clinton had won the election things would be much worse.

While it was horrible that the Taliban did that, let's look at the positives. Such a deed is a stain upon the perpetrators and their cause; it's the kind of attack that wakes up the victim group, in this case the Buddhist community, who in the last several years have become militantly anti-Islamic, especially the Burmese and the Chinese. Basically, destroying statues earns you universal shithead status and turns people against your cause. The destruction of Palmyra is something that woke many people up to the pure malevolence of ISIS, like the Taliban.

in Islam, doesn't everyone have to pay (die) who doesn't become Muslim? Isn't your entire religion based of violating everyone who doesn't become enslaved to Islam?

Another thing is your religion isn't based on thought or intellect because you literally threaten people with the sword if they don't convert. Islam doesn't really care if you know what it is about or not, as long as you surrender.

Because art and Syria are gay. Fuck Jews, fuck muslims, fuck art and fuck jannies.

>peaceful muslims wouldn't do anything if not for jews tricking them

Fuck off, shitskin

Because I'm not buddhist so I care less. It's like asking me why I didn't care that T'chafu over in Nigeria died but I care when my own kid died.

Were you even alive when this happend? this was global news at the time, the world was shocked and disgusted. got way mroe attentiont hat isis destruction of syrian heritage sites

/thread

it was mentioned, but that's Asia's watch and the Chicoms don't care

We did. They ran stories about how Islamophobic and hypocritical white people are for getting pissed about Bhuddist statues. They thought it was somehow bad that we preferred bhuddist people who don't have any major conflicts with white Christians, to muslim invaders. That this is somehow wrong to disapprove of Islamic doctrine.

Monuments I'll rise and fall, much like the dynasties that erected them. All is transient and though tradition and history is useful to reflect upon, we must move on from there and live presently while also sowing the seeds for the future.
((Buddha(nature) is not to be found in the statues, but in the practice of his teachings. To do otherwise would be mere idolatry.

In this case, you’re both right.

>Palmyra
I never understood why Muslims enjoy destroying so much shit. FFS, even Islam has their own crap they built.

Did that too.

I know I sure did. And I believe that act also disillusioned their own members as well as emboldened the efforts of the West to eradicate them.

I was in a seething rage every day, seeing the news of radicals Islamists and pals. Raiding, pillaging, and destroying some of the most sacred and historical artifacts and ruins on earth like it was a fucking sport. I'll never forget it.

That boiled my blood. Fucking ISIS faggots.

Despicable but those are symbols of other nations and creeds and while I felt loss of great historical property they are not mine but comes a great way to show how tolerant are they

I am pissed about it.

Fuck Muslims and their hatred of art because of muh idols

In my 5th grade class we received weekly 'Time Magazine, for Kids!" issues, and while I'm sure there was all kinds of bluepilled shit in them that I've forgotten, they still covered the destruction of the statues, and it was the major discussion topic of our weekly humanities/politics discussion that day. Even as a kid I thought it was terrible.

They tried destroying it in 1526, Babur ordered the statues to be destroyed but his orders were rejected. In 1700, the Mughal Emperor, Aurangzeb brough artillery from Delhi to the middle of Afghanistan to fire on the statues.

A fucking statue triggered them throughout history. Lol.

anicca

Jow Forums was upset about the statues and also about the more recent destruction of many things by ISIS.

Nalanda University (1193)
Bakhtiyar Khliji, Delhi Sultanate, burns down the university complex.

Somnath Temple (1451)
Sultan of Gujarat desecrates the temple.

Taxila University (998-1002)
Ghaznavid raid (Mahmoud of Ghazni)

Somapura University (1000-1200)
One scholar writes, "The ruins of the temple and monasteries at Pāhāpur do not bear any evident marks of large-scale destruction. The downfall of the establishment, by desertion or destruction, must have been sometime in the midst of the widespread unrest and displacement of population consequent on the Muslim invasion."

Vallabhi University (775)
Arabs attacked the patrons of the university in 775. Decline followed.

Martand Sun Temple (1400 est.)
Destroyed by Sikander Butshikan, the Sultan of Kashmir (1389-1413)

Ayodhya Temple (1524)
Baqi Tashqani, on behalf of Mughal Emperor Babur, builds a mosque atop a temple.

City of Mathura (1500-1550 est.)
Destroyed by Sikander Lodi in the 16th century.

Krishna Temple, Mathura (1670)
Aurangzeb destroys the temple and builds a mosque atop the ruins.

City State of Vijaynagara (1565)
Deccan Sultanates invade and plunder the city.

City of Delhi (1008, 1398, 1526, 1739)
Ghaznavid raid in 1008,
Timur's raid in 1398 killing 1,00,000+,
Mughal invasion in 1526,
Persian invasion in 1739

Meenakshi Temple Complex (1310)
Malik Kafur invades the temple in 1311 during Delhi Sultanate's raids. Rebuilt by Nayakar, the viceroy of Vijaynagara (1529-1564)

I did. Those statues were 2400 years old, and you could walk up inside of them, like the statue of liberty. The walls of the cliff had little caves carved out, that monks and Yogis used to do long retreats in, where they would pull up food with buckets and rope. Those statues, the Buddhas of Banyam, were brightly painted with awesome colors, and the faces were coated with gold leaf.
That area was where several cultures and trading routes met, so the Greeks would study with Buddhists, Hindus, and others, and vice versa.
The taliban dynamited them. They also ruined other world heritage sites. And isis destroyed Sumerian and Mesopotamian temples and tombs. To destroy history like that, you would have to have a totally rotten soul. It's against humanity, and against God.
They also destroyed Sufi shrines all over the middle East, and sufis are the one cool form of Islam, more into beauty, poetry, art, music and dancing than beheading people. They even tried to blow up Mecca a bunch of times.
Sad.
Pic related, you can see the mediation caves.

I did. About at that time the lampposts of Budapest were full of paper ads saying "The Truth of Islam! Come and hear!" because we have a couple of hundreds strong islamic community. O kept stopping my car, jumping out and writing "BAMIYAN!!!" across those placards, while the traffic was honking.

I'm not sure if anyone was for ISIS other than mudslimes, but it definitely pissed off the fence-sitters. Destruction of Palmyra pissed me off a lot though as a classicsfag. It killed any remnants I had that these people can function in our society in any way.

Plenty of people in the West did,
even though we were not directly affected or involved at all.

Still our bleeding heart ways made and make sure to appease you and the rest of the third world.

Lest we become to infatuated with developing too far into the future, jeez we wouldn't want to leave the children behind.

I'm tired of this fucking whataboutism. I'm fucking tired of being told to care about everyone else's interests and cultural health other than my own and that of those like me. I'm tired of it because I know that when I become a minority that the same sentiment won't be given to me. Fuck you OP.

Nalanda was the most tragic. It is said that the library and its manuscripts and books kept burning for 6 months after the Muslims set it on fire.

Thousands of years of written history wiped out in just one invasion.

Even today, many Indian scriptures and books from that era refer to manuscripts and texts which we don’t have. They are considered lost, but I think the vast majority of them were burnt in that library.

The Buddha was an Aryan.
Unlike you, you mulatto kike fuck.

Buddha nature is found in statues. In the Mahamudra view, everything in phenomenal existence is a symbol of primordial awareness and the luminosity of the mind. But they are still impermanent. But yeah, what you say is true, as well. We shouldn't be attached.
When Samye monastery burned down, the monks celebrated it, and rebuilt.
On the other hand, in the Buddhist science of painting and statue making, they believe that the proportions of the Buddha have the power to purify the elements in the environment. I guess it's just a practice to train the mind to see everything as the Buddha.
The other weird thing is in vajrayana view, even creating a negative relationship to Buddhist teachers, or, I guess, objects, creates a karmic link that can eventually lead to Awakening. Like, the hunters who beat up Milarepa were sorta blessed by it. But if you are a practitioner, you should always show respect for Buddha images, and disrespecting them can cause obstacles in your practice. So i've heard.
Anyway, I rejoice in your merit.

Now I know Buddhist is a stronger form of religion from most others but it gets fucked too in the end

Jow Forums has bitched every time someone chimped out and destroyed world history.

fuck buddah jew

The Jews did that

I’m not a Buddhist.

>Mongolian conquest
Ogodei's death was a blessing
Fuck buddhism

I don't think so. I think that the ghandaran stuff came later. Those are amazing, like greek style, mixed with Indian style. Ghandharan stuff was 4th to 7th century, I think. Banyam was 3rd century. I was wrong I guess they aren't 2400 years old, they didn't make Buddhist statues at all until around 1AD. They used to just draw an empty chair to represent Buddha, cuz he was "this gone".

We did.

Did that too. They were destroying statues in America as well, spoke up against that too.

why do muslims only destroy?

lol some of those structures are 12000+ years old, from previous civilization(s). You can can't carve rock on that scale even now, and that was done over 12-40k years ago.

I did. Jihadis blowing up history is absolutely fucking disgusting. A cultured White man respects ancient historical statues and architecture.

I was outraged, speak for yourself faggot.

Mongols aren't buddhist.

And Mongols preserved buildings and sites. They don't wanton destroy things for fun.

Buddha is a fat nigger.

I didn't know but it's fucked up

Fuckin' A. Great question OP. I don't think there was a chimpout on pol like the one we see today.

>believing the tengri bullshit

lol, selfish christfag. your religion is shit and so is your family.

we did. it was all over the news an condemned

That was my introduction to the religion of peace. Fucking savages.

But I did, meanwhile the same liberal faggots that were saying that are OK with destroying white monuments.

Anyone that delights in the destruction of art and architecture is an enemy of mankind. We did speak out and are still angry at the ignorant goat fuckers that destroyed those Buddha statues.

I've wanted the Muslims dead since the Achille Lauro fuckstick

Biggest library in the world. Yeah, burned for 6 months, you could see the smoke for 1000 miles, like the California wild fires smoke being seen in Colorado.
The other fucked up thing is, the monks were totally peaceful. But all Buddhists get the death sentence under islam. Buddhists aren't "people of the book".
I think the moral is, "if you want to live a peaceful life, you need to be ready to defend yourself." That's why I like the Burmese muslims.

I did. Loudly.
History should never be destroyed. Part of me even still weeps for the Sacred Oaks and Groves that were destroyed by early Christians - because they too stood for hundreds or thousands of years.

I was advocating we go into Afghanistan to topple the Taliban on that basis alone, well before 9/11.

>ISIS was decimated
>vastly weakened non-Israeli allies
>strengthened position of Turks and Saudis
>gave more heat to throw at Russia

The only thing that didn't happen there was China getting involved with handing Syria surplus to get rid of it. If they'd done that while buddying with Russia, the conflict would have been VASTLY cleaner. But then we all know China loves the Pakis and Syria hates Wahabbi/Sunnis.

The American education system in action. The "fat Buddha" was actually a mythical Chinese monk from the 10th century named budai. The actual Buddha (Siddhartha) looked more like pic related

That was one of the first things I thought about yesterday you ignorant mutt.

don't be such a fag, user.

I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away."

I did too - sorry, post was not clear about that, but my point is only made even clearer now: we DID do that. OP is wrong.

That was the Taliban's handiwork, burger.

>Why were you guys peaceful when we begged you not to resort to violence.
One more step closer to the calls to violence, I get it. You just need a little more time to develop a cozy redirect.

any destruction of our earth's history makes me upset. I still see it as changing times and end of days. God will have the final word.

Why are so many faggots obsessed with old shit. Who cares that some old faggots were so bored they carved this in rocks. It's not cool. It's not exciting. Its absolutely a waste of money preserving old shit. You're all a bunch of faggot losers.

We did.

Simple.

I'm not Asian nor Buddhist. So why should I care? No Asian has ever stood up for my people, as a result I dont have time to worry about your people or your culture.

But Buddha had blue eyes. He also had webbed fingers and toes.

Is this an /x/ thread? I was reading about them just the other day.

Sup kike

Based

Indians didn't even depict the Buddha until the Greeks started to do it. Before then it was just shown to be a tree.

we did, we were outraged and you niggers told us “NOT YOUR COUNTRY NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS”
well now it is our countries and it is our business and the next human figure to get smashed into little unidentifiable bits isn’t going to be made out of sandstone if you know what I mean you little fuck

Why didn't you!

I was 11

...I did. When it happened I told you all that muslims were filthy, wretched savages who all deserved genocide. And then when the Buddhists started killing them in Myanmar I referenced the destruction of the statues as justification for why they were killing the filthy, wretched savages and why it was a great first step to their well-deserved genocide.

Do you even listen when I try to communicate?
