<p>[QUOTE=&quot;THCoins, post: 8315595, member: 57364&quot;][USER=128351]@GinoLR[/USER] , i think our views against looting and cultural destruction do not differ very much. Our main difference seems to be that you think that &quot;the goal justifies the means&quot; applies here. I think that in a civilized justice system also the means should be just. Here, also coin categories which are not from Afganistan, nor ever circulated there, are officially labeled as &quot;stolen from Afghanistan unless you prove otherwise&quot;. That&#039;s not my ideal of justice.</p><p>Regarding the complexity of the relation between Islamism, politics and views on cultural heritage we also agree. That&#039;s why i limited my statement to the current Afghanistan/Pakistan area. Because that&#039;s the region these import rules apply to. (And a large proportion of antique coins now coming illegally from Afghanistan is exported through Pakistan)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
