Moslems are not fit to be trusted with antiquities. We have seen their barbarian disregard for such, in the savage behavior of the Taliban dogs in Afghanistan and the morally diseased moslem crimes re: the Temple Mount.

Before any civilized nation should return these irreplaceable treasures to the latter day inhabitants of the original countries, these upstarts must demonstrate that they are mature enough to handle the rsponsibility. About 400 years would be a reasonable probation period, given the facts of history.

This “Anything Made in Our Country - at Any Time in the Entire History of the World - Belongs to Us” crap is getting real, real old.

I say the Germans and French should tell Professor Halfass to sh*ve it.
