Ha, it’s satisfying to hear that these mulla lunatics are failing in their crazy attempts to destroy these historical shrines. I hope the authorities shell these militants the next time they try to destroy the Buddha carvings.

Militants fail to destroy Buddhist carvings in Swat
MINGORA: Pro-Taliban militants failed in another attempt to blow up rock carvings of Buddha in Swat district, police said on Saturday. The militants, late Saturday night, tried to destroy the Buddha carvings through powerful explosives but failed in their attempt in the Jahanabad area of Swat Valley. Previously, pro-Taliban militants tried to destroy the carvings on September 12 but only succeeded in partially damaging them. The incident recalled the internationally condemned destruction of the huge Bamiyan Buddhas in Afghanistan by the Taliban regime in 2001. Police sources said shrapnel from the blast hit the rock but didn’t damage the Buddhist images. “It appears to be the work of the local militants who condemn these relics as being un-Islamic,” police said.
