The correct answer is option 3, Afghanistan. Recently, in Afghanistan, Buddha`s idols were disfigured and removed. This occurred as a result of the rise of the Taliban regime, which held a strict interpretation of Islamic law and viewed the worship of idols as idolatry. The Taliban believed that the destruction of idols was necessary to uphold their religious beliefs. This led to the targeting and destruction of numerous historical and cultural monuments in Afghanistan, including the famous Buddhas of Bamiyan, which were ancient statues of Buddha carved into the side of a cliff. These acts of vandalism caused global outrage and were widely condemned as an attack on the cultural heritage of the country.
