The Taliban blew up ancient Buddhist statues in March of 2001. I do not find these to be unrelated events. A jihad was called against the kufir around the world, not just the Westerners.
Notice how the Buddists weren’t permitted to retaliate by blowing up Islamic holy sites yet everyone on the Left seems to find it perfectly justifiable for muslims to retaliate on a strike against Mecca with an attack on the Vatican.
I’m sorry, who are those people on the right side of your picture?
