    There’s some damn nice architecture and geometry coming out of Islam. Would you tear down a nice mosaic just because they remind you of the worst aspects of the greater culture?

    Well, I wouldn’t dynamite a 1500 year old Buddha statue because I found it offensive, but an Islamic state sure did.

      So I take it you wouldn’t tear down that mosaic. Which is exactly my point. Put it in a museum if you don’t want to have it out in the open because the memory is too fresh.
