There was no reason to cut down this tree, which a peaceful people believed had powers. There is no justification by saying they are both crazy.
No, I'm pretty sure they're both crazy.
If you say so.

Free speech is just as worth standing up for as is some nutty people's belief in a divine tree. Actually, it's much more important.

Muslim youth group called the United Islam Youth attack a 100 year old Banyan tree to prove it doesn't have "mystical powers"
Not unlike the Taliban when they were in power in Afghanistan destroying archaeologically priceless statues of the Buddha, many predating Islam.
Mysticism and religion will be the world's undoing.

The Taliban taking down Buddha was was just religion taking a shot at mysticism.

There was a drug that can get you high in that tree. Quick! Everyone flip out and complain that they are trying to take your drugs away!
