foreign newspapers and all only carrying Musharraf rathole crap.
SWAT Buddha is blown up from Times of India, who also I cant seem to avoid bashing, but I will link to other news sites if I can open their reports like NDTV and the Hindu which is a very good paper, even if it sounds like the CSM which is also a very good newspaper and non parochial.
from the TOI report
Swat, falling in Pakistan’s North West Frontier Province, has a priceless Buddhist heritage. The Harmarajika stupa in Taxila and Butkarha stupa in Swat were among the earliest stupas of Gandhara — an ancient kingdom consisting of modern-day Peshawar, Taxila, Swat and, according to some historians, parts of Kashmir. These stupas had been erected on the orders of Emperor Ashoka and contained real relics of the Buddha. The Gandhara school is credited with the first representation of the Buddha in human form.
They quote Visakha Desai and Adriana Prosper of Asia Society.
Please read the whole thing.
Here is the google news link
Day of sorrow and horror, Taliban just as big idiots now as in 2001.
Plus it shows that the NE was hinduist and Buddhist for a long time and Mooslams only showed up in the last 900 years, very interesting, wherever they show up, they try to eradicate all who went before, including like in Bali, where the johhnny come latelys try to eradicate all signs of the Hindu vibrant culture of half naked chicks, which is a proud heritage BTW.
In fact, the Pakistan web site for Sindh used to boast, I havent checked lately, but it used to boast that Sindh became MUSLIM in yadda yadda.
No mention of the forced migrations, arson and genocidal postures that eradicated Hindus and Sufis and Sikhs from Sindh and Punjab, not to mention a nasty jerry rigged, gerrymandered poll of sorts.
Just a reminder, peeps, we still suffering.
Bye bye
