Dear V.K. Durham,
In March 2001, the
Taliban in
Afghanistan destroyed
the ancient
monuments, known as
the "Buddhas
of Bamiyan",
which were probably
the biggest tourist
draw for Afghanistan,
prior to this heinous
act, among
many heinous acts that
have followed
and continue, there to
this very day,
causing the utter
devastation of this
already poverty-stricken
nation.
This act was seen as a horrific tragedy
by archeologists,
historians, Buddhists,
all lovers of ancient
civilizations and
cultures, which is
listed as a World
Heritage Site by by
UNESCO.
Here, we see the Egyptian Salafi Sheik,
Murgan Salem in
November 2012 calling
for the destruction of
the Pyramids of Giza
(plus a special
taxation of Christians,
while adding that,
"Bin Laden was greater
than Saladin").
This, to the annoyance of
his moderate Egyptian
TV host.
Academics and historians use the term,
"Salafi" to
denote "a school of thought
which surfaced in the
second half of the
19th century as a
reaction to the spread
of European
ideas," however, contemporary
Salafis claim to
follow "literal, traditional...
injunctions of the
sacred texts".
Salafism, like any similar practice of
following dead-letter
scripture, at the cost
of all reason, in any
religious branch
constitute a danger to
humanity at-large -
in my humble opinion.
Just look at this
man's eyes!
Devotion to God, by
definition, would not
necessitate the
desecration of magnificent
historical monuments,
nor the massacre
of peoples
of other faiths. But you already
knew that...

signing my petition to
