If I recall, they claim it is a knock against their religion. Someone probably has more detail.


A ruined temple, that no one has used in forever, is somehow a slight to their faith? I don't buy it. If it was still used, sure, but that thing hasn't been occupied in forever.

They do it because they know it pisses the world off.

I read an article, and I can't remember the exact reason. I am pretty sure they view it as a pagan temple, and therefore it has to go.

This shite pisses me off so much and I don't know why. I just hate seeing something like this happen for no fricking reason.

They CLAIM its a false idol. Nothing should be protected or sacred besides Muslim holy sites. They also wish to erase history that is not in the Qur'an, making that the only story that is told...ever.

But this is the correct answer.
