MALE — At the Maldives’ National Museum, smashed Buddhist statues are testament to the rise of Islamic extremism and Taliban-style intolerance in a country famous as a laid-back holiday destination.

On Tuesday, as protesters backed by mutinous police toppled president Mohamed Nasheed, a handful of men stormed the Chinese-built museum and destroyed its display of priceless artefacts from the nation’s pre-Islamic era.

“They have effectively erased all evidence of our Buddhist past,” a senior museum official told AFP at the now shuttered building in the capital Male, asking not to be named out of fear for his own safety.

“We lost all our 12th century statues. They were made of coral stone and limestone. They are very brittle and there is no way we can restore them,” he explained.

  1. Just imagine what would happen if muslims take over Europe: The Vatican, The Louvre, Versailles, the Rijksmuseum, etc… Merely thinking about it makes one feel dizzy.

  2. John, I agree. Despicable toxic scourge on the earth, this so-called ‘religion’ which would eradicate human history.

  3. The Islamic States of America were the FIRST country to welcome this Islamic coup and recognize the new regime.

  4. Everything is going like clockwork for the Saudi plant in the White House – we knew this all along.

  5. Yes, how dare a symbol of peace and tolerance exist in the presence of Islam!

    No wonder Muslims decided enough was enough. They couldn’t tolerate religious tolerance.
