I wager this is more about hubris than motivating hatred, which is kind of small minded comparatively.
If I were to hold strongly the belief that I am the next prophet of Mohammed, that I am the literal vessel and messenger of god, and that I have conspired with others that also hold similar beliefs that I am the chosen one, then together we eradicate borders between Syria and Iraq maybe how I see the world is a bit off kilter too.
I mean, I did happen to change international borders drawn in for decades by those western infidels, and that I am now in control of a literal Islamic caliphate meant to last for another three thousand years.
I would bulldoze anything and everything that stands contrary to my belief.
For I am already god. It would stand to reason that 3,000 year old statues would mean nothing.
Much like how Ai Wei Wei smashes 2,000 year old Ming vases.
I respond to this with neither anger nor sadness because it's egotistical for one to hold ownership to 3,000 year old objects and it's emotionally fragile to declare attachment to objects they have never seen before nor care much about until now.
Respond to the bullying and toxicity with apathy. Respond to the world around you with care and compassion. That's the only lesson here.
Though, tbh, US Marines need to be sent out to wrap up this mess of a job.
