Muhammad himself is depicted in a hadith as appearing to be in favor of such actions: “Narrated ‘Aisha and ‘Abdullah bin ‘Abbas: When the last moment of the life of Allah’s Apostle came he started putting his ‘Khamisa’ on his face and when he felt hot and short of breath he took it off his face and said, ‘May Allah curse the Jews and Christians for they built the places of worship at the graves of their Prophets.’ The Prophet was warning (Muslims) of what those had done.” (Sahih Bukhari 1:8:427)
“Alleged Islamic extremist accused of destroying Timbuktu monuments sent to Hague,” Associated Press, September 26, 2015:
An alleged Islamic extremist charged with involvement in the destruction of religious buildings in the historic city of Timbuktu in Mali in 2012 has been arrested and was sent to the International Criminal Court early on Saturday.
Ahmad Al Mahdi Al Faqi, known as Abu Tourab, is the first suspect in the court’s custody charged with the war crime of destroying religious or historical monuments.
Al Faqi was surrendered to the court by Niger based on an arrest warrant issued a week ago and transferred to the Hague early on Saturday. No date was immediately set for his arraignment.
The court said in a statement he was a member of Ansar Dine, an Islamic extremist group with links to al-Qaida that ruled across northern Mali in 2012.
He is charged in the destruction of 10 historic buildings including mausoleums and a mosque in Timbuktu….

By the time they’re done judging, sentencing, hearing the appeal and passing judgment on the appeal he’ll be a free man.

I guess that’s one way to jump the hijrah queue into Europe. Go straight to the Hague after a bit of grass roots Islamic behaviour. What’s the bet he’ll attempt to weave a web of deceit, offer lame reasoning for having done it (because we know it will have been some Westerner’s fault somewhere in the world), and no doubt be offered citizenship? I wonder if he’ll be fed halal certified food that’s been slaughtered in accordance with Islamic rites? I do hope his rights are taken into consideration and he’s given a shiny new prayer mat to use five times a day, and a compass pointing the way to Mecca. We already know his moral compass is broken. I’m yet to feel any level of serenity after exposure to followers of the religion of peace. Stories alone are enough to have me question my sanity.

“mausoleums and a mosque in Timbuktu….”
I get the mausoleums bit that makes good sense,,, but he should be promoted for destroying a mosque He should be given resources and encouraged ….
