ORTHODOX RELIGIOUS LAW AND THE PRESERVATION OF THE CULTURAL HERITAGE OF THE WORLD – AN OVERVIEW OF PROBLEMS

Journal Title: Annuals of the Administration and Law - Year 2015, Vol 1, Issue 0

Abstract

During the course of a dozen or so years in Asia (Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq) and in Africa (Libya) there was a surge of acts of vandalism associated with the destruction of historic monuments. @is phenomenon is especially discernible in the context of the destruction of monumental sculptures (the statues of Buddha in Afghanistan) and of architectural monuments, including whole cities (Nimrud – Kalhu, Hatra, the walls of Nineveh – the suburbs of the present-day city of Mosul; the Palmyra in Syria is endangered). @e destruction of monuments is a spectacular, propaganda manifestation of imposing one’s will; it is also a violation of the international rights and conventions associated with the form in which wars are waged. Iconoclasm (in the broad meaning of the term) is not so much a religious phenomenon but also (and above all) a political one. @e object of the article is to provide an answer to the question whether the sources of these acts of vandalism may be traced in the Quran. According to the author of the publication, such instances of behaviour may not be derived from the Quran. In the sacred book of Islam there are many passages which mention tolerance toward the people of the book (ahl al kitab) i.e. above all Jews and Christians. @ese are lines of the Quran which derive from the following Suras: 2: 194, 2: 257, 8: 40, 8: 73. According to the Quran, the destruction of the objects of worship or of places where prayers are held, such as churches, synagogues or mosques (e.g. Shi’a mosques), is completely unacceptable. @erefore the current events have a mainly political background.<br/><br/>
