Destroyed like the English banning the Irish language in schools in trying to destroy the Irish language?
Insofar as radical Islamists, the English sided with and supported radical Islamists in Iran against Mossadegh and then against the secular left under the Shah. The English supported Mujahideen in Afghanistan. Watch Lawrence of Arabia, they do it and celebrate it. The English saving secular socialist pan-Arab nationalism against radical Islamists? Please.
The real destruction of artifacts was the destruction of Iraq Museum during the UK's unprovoked invasion of that country. Which they of course blamed on Iraqis. These people are transparent.
- softfalcon 4y agoAs a Gaelic speaker (Scot's Gaelic) I feel you on the point about Irish Gaelic in schools. It's pretty shocking how hypocritical and selfish the English government/crown has been throughout history. They can try and cover it up, but at the end of the day, they're really just stealing things and getting away with it cause they're rich, powerful, and militarily dominant compared to their targets.
