I've Worked with Refugees for Decades. Europe's Afghan Crime Wave Is Mind-Boggling.
‘These were not of the cultural-misunderstanding-date-rape sort, but were vicious, no-preamble attacks on random girls and women, often committed by gangs or packs of young men.’
„ Which brings me to a final theory being vented in Austria: that these destructive, crazed young men are being intentionally infiltrated into western Europe to wreak havoc: to take away the freedom and security of women; change patterns of behavior; deepen the rifts between liberals, who continue to defend and find excuses, and a right wing that calls for harsh measures and violent responses; to inflict high costs and aggravation on courts and judicial systems and generally make a mess of things.“
The author Dr. Cheryl Benard cannot be dismissed as a raving right-wing lunatic, because of her credentials and because she is married to a prominent Afghan-American diplomat.

The art of ancient Gandhara was little known in the West until the Taliban destroyed the gigantic statues of the Buddha at Bamiyan in 2001. But it was in the Gandhara region of Pakistan (present day Bamiyan in Afghanistan, Bactria, the Hindu Kush, and the Punjab of northwest India) that the first flowering of Buddhist figural art occurred from the 1st century BCE through the 5th century CE.
In 327 B.C, King Alexander the Great conquered Gandhara area and some of his troops settled in the area and established a number of remote small Greek city states, referred as Indo-Greek kingdoms, bringing the Greco art to Asia. Statues of Olympian Gods like Zeus, Apollo, Heracles, Dionysus were commonly founded from this era in Gandhara.
The Gandhara school drew upon the anthropomorphic traditions of Roman religion and represented the Buddha with a youthful Apollo-like face, dressed in garments resembling those seen on Roman imperial statues.

GREEK SCULPTURE ~ THE MOTHER OF BUDDHIST ART
It is now commonly agreed that the figure of Buddha was modelled after the prototype of Apollo.
So, especially the bump of intelligence on the top of Buddha’s head, has been changed into a top knot of his hair, which happened to be fashionable in those days in Athens and is quite obvious in the Apollo Belvedere.
A specially remarkable evidence of the Greek character of Buddhist art is a statue found among the Buddhist Gandhara sculptures
at Peshawar, now in the museum at Calcutta. That the
statue is Greek in origin and type is clearly evident by the name Yavanis, which the Hindus have popularly given to all statues of this type.
Yavani is the Indian pronunciation of the name Ionian by which all people of Hellenic origin are denoted.
