[Avodah] destroying idols

[Ilana Elzufon]

RSZN: no haredi jews are going around destroying  museum pieces...

I don't know where the source is, but I was under the impression that an
idol could lose its AZ status if a worshipper of that religion is
deliberately mevatel it, or if the religion itself has become extinct and
no one worships such idols any more. I believe that museum pieces from the
ancient Middle East generally represent extinct religions.
