Very few. The meteor of Kabaa is an exception. Otherwise islamic cultures are known for destroying archeological sites (Buddha statues in Afghanistan, Palmyr) even of their own religion (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destruction_of_early_Islamic_heritage_sites_in_Saudi_Arabia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destruction_of_early_Islamic...).

- lostlogin 5y ago> Otherwise islamic cultures are known for destroying archeological sites I’m not sure that this is an Islamic trait so much as a victor/oppressor behaviour. You see this in buildings throughout history, where the dominant power converts existing structures to their usage, or destroys things they don’t want. It’s how rulers seek to dominate.
