I’ll be honest in saying that I was thinking of the many mosques destroyed in Iraq when I commented this.
The Afghan puppet government, with American aid and support, did bomb at least mosques on multiple occasions, killing dozens of civilians in the process.
This is a harrowing talk I’d recommend checking out.

Specifically for destruction of historical monuments and religious sites, check out 6:35 onward.
I am not “utterly oblivious”. OP themselves has backtracked on that specific claim. The US does not seem to have been part of attacking a mosque in Afghanistan.
You’re splitting hairs here. US did blow up mosques, whether it was in Iraq or Afghanistan isn’t really the relevant part. And of course, US backed regime blowing up mosques is just one degree of separation. US propped up and armed this regime directly facilitating the atrocities is committed against the people it ruled over.
Which mosques were the US blowing up? I am having a hard time finding any references to that occuring.

I’ll never cease to be amazed at how utterly oblivious Americans are regarding what their government does around the world.
