Islamists destroy Muslim shrines in Mali

Shrines to what the BBC calls Muslim saints were damaged by Ansar Dine Islamists in the legendary city of Timbuktu in Mali.

Just last week UNESCO listed Timbuktu on its list of imperiled heritage sites.

Islamists, Wahabbis, and their fellow travelers view such temples as idol-worshipping.

Hey, if you don't like these historical treasures--then just look the other way.
