I don't care if they kill 1000 people, but you don't fuck with history. Those statues can never be replaced. No one will ever get to visit that museum and see those statues again. No one will be able to learn from them. That is the highest level of unadulterated bullshit. I have not been this pissed off since the Library of Alexandria was razed. This is right up there with those fucking Greenpeace hippies ruining the Nazca Lines.

They weren't evne used for worship anymore. They were random statues of historical relevance and nothing else.
On top of being bcruel swine they are now also uncultured swine.
I guess they're the Islamic version of the reformation.
lol Nithiel, this goes far beyond the Nazca lines both in historical relevance and in damage caused.

China used to be like that during cultural revolution. Mao was such a dick, a huge number of landmarks got destroyed in the name of communism.

Good news everyone. It turns out the destroyed statues were fakes. The museum director has all of the originals with him in a vault in the capital. All that got destroyed were a bunch of plaster replicas.

if all they do is display replicas in the museum.. is there any real value left to the true thing? People are happy seeing (or destroying) the fakes after all

A lot of museums keep an inventory of fakes and rotate which item is on display at irregular intervals. This is done so that the originals can be properly preserved and protected from theft and vandalism.
With any luck the museum had a heads up that this was coming their way and sent all of their originals to a secure location elsewhere, leaving only fakes on display to be vandalized.
It still doesn't make what ISIS did any less wrong. It just means that paranoia about the security of irreplaceable artifacts may in fact have paid off.

Is it weird that I read that in Professor Farnsworth's voice?

The true thing is, if nothing else, studied by professionals to give us clues about the past of our people. And they remain as the last tangible memorabilia from those time periods. The fact is that this makes them invaluable, which therefore necessitates putting up the fakes to preserve the true remnants of our past.
