Taliban destroying Buddha statues

"Thou shalt not make unto thyself any graven image"

With regard to the Buddhist statues in Afghanistan, there will be a lot of protests over it. However, in my Bible it plainly reads "You shall make for yourself no idol in the likeness of anything in the heavens above or on the earth below or in the waters under the earth. You shall not bow down to them..." (Ex.20, 4-5). The difference is that the fundamentalist Muslims believe that God really meant it.
