The authors of The Bridge Betrayed and The Buddhas of Bamiyan both identify a different form of cultural eradication that occurred in within the past twenty-five years. In Bosnia-Herzegovina, the Serbs and Croats wanted to destroy the Bosnian Muslim symbols, culture, and population. In Afghanistan, the Taliban destroyed the Buddhas of Bamiyan, and in turn, changed the identity of Bamiyan forever. The practice of cultural eradication is not limited to these two cases. Cultural eradication has taken place throughout history involving one group’s desire to transform, absorb, and destroy a particular culture and its’ values. The desire for destruction may seem similar, however, the individual agendas that drive the eradication vary in each instance. Michael Sells explores the nationalism that is expressed by the Serbs and Croats in Bosnia that he refers to as Christoslavism. Llewlyn Morgan discusses the Taliban’s iconoclastic and political motivations to destroy the Buddhas. Both examples ultimately analyze some of the many dimensions of cultural eradication in the world.
The “Dome of the Rock” is a true testament to Islamic art. From interior to exterior, it exemplifies Islam’s view of itself. Within the dome, mosaic friezes encompass the earliest written text of the Qur’an. The glass mosaics represent the gardens of Paradise and trophies of Muslim victories, which illustrate vine scrolls and trees in the use of turquoise, blue, and green. The octagonal arrangement is enclosed by two concentric ambulatories. The upper portion of the external dome was also covered in glass mosaics. Above all, the true external focal point is the light that falls on the beloved rock, symbolizing the passage of Muhammad to the heavens.

Arkhan al Islam or the five pillars of faith are the foundations of Islam which govern the everyday actions and practices of Islamic adherents around the world. These core teachings of Islam are essential in order for Muslims to be able to efficiently express and practice their beliefs.

The religious practice of Islam began with the prophet Muhammed, which means surrender in Islam. The central idea is to surrender to the will og God. The Qu'ran is a book that actually contains very little about Muhammed himself but more of the stories of the prophet that provides narration of his life.
