Title: Xenophobic Man Decapitates Buddha Statue with a Hammer Because He Hates Muslims

This guy went out of his way to break this statue. The residents of the area that liked the statue being there replaced it with a new one, which this guy came back to destroy again.

He seems a little upset and confused about religions that aren't Christianity.

I shouldn't be laughing at all at any of this, but the juxtaposition of these two stories are amusing:

The Taliban blowing up the largest Buddha statues in the world.

Its amusing because its ironic. Islamophobes really aren't that much different from Islamists. I'm just glad this guy hasn't killed people (that we know of) tbh.

This is what happens when your mother is also your aunt.
