Another example of white iconoclasm is Alexander the Great's decision to burn Persepolis to the ground. It was an act of revenge, but iconoclasm is iconoclasm.

Worst Iconoclasm was done by Christians in the late Roman Empire against the old pagan temples and monuments.

The jew sucker St. Augistine of Hippo personally led a campaign of destruction against the pagan heritage of Carthage.

Then there was a violent wave of iconoclasm in the Byzantine Empire against Greek pagan heritage.

Jokes on them. Constantinopole is now in the hands of Turks while the Pantheon is in the hands of the Greeks.
