You should be aware that while it was bad, it was also used as propaganda. There's no accident that there's multiple clips about the statues on the offical NATO YouTube channel. The event is nothing compared to what happened during the Iraq war for instance.

That an event was used as propaganda does not make it less real.

It's shocking how someone is able to disrespect someone else's religion and still demand respect for his or her own.
