Crickets.Your myopia and tunnel-vision is truly remarkable.No, that was not a so called crime against humanity.It the world's historical heritage, just like the Buddhist statues the Taliban blew up in Afghanistan. If you can't recognize that as crime against humanity, you're no better than Nazi scum.
There wasn't a single Buddhist living in Afghanistan.......thus no victims.
The people didn't want a bunch of godless idols cluttering up their country.......so they blew them up.
Their land.....their rights to do what they want with it......nobody else's business. .......
Your position is dead-wrong.
It doesn't matter a damn whether there was a single Buddhist living in Afghanistan.
Their land once held practitioners of that (still living and breathing) alternative belief system.
The imagery carved into those rocks had stood for vast ages and at no time during the first 1400 years of the history of Islam, had anyone found a need to destroy those monuments.
Again... imagine Arabia eventually being dominated by non-Muslims.
Should those future people feel free to destroy the Kaaba and the Tomb of the Prophet and all of Islam's most precious places of worship?
That would be a tragic loss of precious historical treasure - a large part of the history of Mankind.
That is the precedent you are setting here, by supporting such actions.
Not surprising, however.
