Subject: Any idea where this militant Know-Nothing-ism comes from?
In reply to: SM77 's message, "Taliban to Destroy Ancient Buddhas. This is a Tragedy" on 06:13:42 03/02/01 Fri

I mean, wasn't (and isn't) scholarship highly prized in Islam? Didn't they preserve the works of Aristotle, Plato, et al?

And this statue smashing on top of the "He-Man Woman Haters Club" culture of the Taliban... I always look at behavior like that and I am reminded of a Maragret Atwood quote, "You don't put a muzzle on a dog unless you are afraid its gonna bite." So, was being weaned that traumatic? Are you afraid that we'll bleed all over the place? Were you out in the sun too long fighting the Soviets?

Don't you just love the horses that the CIA picks, time and time again?
