In reply to the discussion: Amina Tyler/Sboui writes grafitti on World Heritage site mosque, gets arrested [View all]LuvNewcastle
(16,835 posts)23. Defacing World Heritage Sites is a big no-no.
Would people be defending this woman if she sprayed the pyramids or St. Peters? This mosque is obviously very important to Tunisians. She did an awful thing, and she deserves punishment for it. Just think how Texans would react if someone spray-painted the Alamo, and that should give you a little bit of an idea about how Tunisians feel about this woman.
