Heartbreaking. Religious fanatics destroying world cultural artifacts is such a depressing meme.
I didn’t know we exported Y’all Qaeda, I thought it was just for domestic consumption
It goes to show how there’s very little difference between religious extremism regardless of faith or denomination.
Fingers crossed America doesn’t intervene and he’s jailed over there without incident
Jesus fuck! Religious extremism is sickening and disgusting in all its forms.
The American Taliban is not just for Christians anymore
As someone who holds a degree in History, I am obligated to feel an intense mix of sorrow and rage at the destruction of artifacts of cultural heritage.
Iconoclasm is the cardinal sin of History, and this man should be smashed to pieces instead.
The perpetrator actually went to a museum where these statues are known to be part of the collection. I would not be surprised if this action had been pre-meditated.
Just Christian extremists acting the same as they ever did. Go look on the statues from the sacked temple of Athena with crosses chiseled in their foreheads. Oh wait, you can’t! ISIL finished the Christians’ job there for THEIR god. Great company.
What made the statues blasphemous? I didn’t see this mentioned in the article.
My moral compass is all over the place reading about this sort of shit. On the one hand I really hope their jails aren’t draconian hellholes and on the other hand…. fuck this guy.

“According to the museum, the suspect caused damage to two ancient Roman sculptures dating to the 2nd century CE, that were placed on display at the archaeological department’s permanent exhibition.”
Imagine being such a backwards thinking troglodyte that items from THAT long ago offend you. These people would drag us back to even before the Dark Ages if they could.
Destroy him
Nutjob. Nothing you can do against brainwashed psychotics
Israel, you can keep him if you want.
I just cannot fathom what goes through someone’s head when they think, “yeah, Imma destroy a few two thousand year old museum pieces because I don’t like ‘em.” I don’t know how anyone arrives at that conclusion and doesn’t see how outrageously crazy it is. It’s nuts.
This is why no one likes American tourists, even though most don’t do this psycho shit
What an idiot. They should make him pay for the damages and tell him he can’t leave the country until so.
I still remember how we learned about the various waves of iconoclasm during our History lessons in school, and that I thought how a good thing it is humanity had grown past this stage. Boy was I wrong!
Religion is poison.
Hmm, ancient Rome was pretty antisemitic. I can’t say I’d immediately blame a devout Jewish person for lashing out in this way.
Humanity continues to destroy itself with relgion.
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬😡🤬
keep him over there
I hope they make an example of them. An extreme example. Send a message to scum everywhere.
Children need to be taught the “take only pictures, leave only footprints” philosophy before they’re handed their parent’s religion. Adults who don’t understand this need an August visit to Antarctica.
Religion is cancer.
Called American Taliban for a reason
Hopefully the scumbag is jailed for a long time. We don’t want him back.
No extradition to the US. Put that moron in your prison, Israel.
If they read their own book close enough they wouldknow that idols carry no power and by doing this you are giving them power.
I’m a proud member of ‘the Nones’ because they’ve done nothing welcoming to me or anyone in my community. In fact, most of the trouble we currently have in society is generated by religious nutjobs who like to blame us for pedophilia. Statistically speaking, your child is more likely to get molested by a church person than a gay person yet we still take the heat because of religiosity. It’s projection and it’s ridiculous and I won’t be backed into another closet because X religion says we shouldn’t exist.
Religion is the most divisive aspect of our society and I will never support any of it. I’d sooner worship Sauron the great eye than god the fraud. It’s about the same work of fiction to me.
Dictator me would make destroying ancient art a capitol offense. 2000 years just for some dipshit to come around
Every day it feels we are going backwards..
Not news.
Moron. Throw away the key.
Sounds like an Ultra Orthodox Jew, and there are plenty of them in New York.
Why was this piece of dogshit even able to destroy artifacts? Why weren’t they behind glass or something?
Hope that asshole is in jail
Wow. Survived 2 thousand years only to be fucked by an American dirt bag.
