.they blow up anything that isn't as extreme as them. it's a race to the top of extremism.
Well.... on the bright side, it probably wasn't actually the burial place of Jonah.
And even if it was, he's probably still buried.
Amen.my sister in law's family lost their home, their car, and their money was taken.
they've also threatened others to convert or be killed.
hope they all die a painful death.
Same thing happened to my family there. Assyrian? Syriac?my sister in law's family lost their home, their car, and their money was taken.

Maybe they'll get so extreme that they start practicing genital mutilation on themselves.Real talk, ISIS members should have their dicks chopped off.
Drinking a glass or two of ISIS-beer with tears of happiness. Fuck him and fuck that liger guy as well who used to be here. Terrorist sympathizers.
Video of the mosque being blown
I don't either. But believe me, you can use holy books to justify just about anything. And we've seen just about anything used to justify all manner of horrible acts over the years.
Without a shred of doubt.So sad. I wonder if they would destroy the pyramids in Egypt given the chance.
A group of Radical Islamists in Egypt actually tried to get this done after the revolution there.So sad. I wonder if they would destroy the pyramids in Egypt given the chance.

In other historically sickening news. ISIS has taken control of a Christian monastery just outside of Mosul that dates back to the 300's (4th century), nearly nearly 300 hundred years before Islam even existed. They kicked all the monks out. Unfortunately, this ancient monastery may very well be destroyed too.
Not sure if I should make its own thread, but here it is.

Why? It's scary to think how fast something like the eifel tower, the louvre or the sphinx can just be erased.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Sphinx_of_Giza#Missing_nose_and_beardThe Arab historian al-Maqrīzī, writing in the 15th century, attributes the loss of the nose to iconoclasm by Muhammad Sa'im al-Dahr, a Sufi Muslim from the khanqah of Sa'id al-Su'ada. In AD 1378, upon finding the local peasants making offerings to the Sphinx in the hope of increasing their harvest, Sa'im al-Dahr was so outraged that he destroyed the nose, and was hanged for vandalism.[33] Al-Maqrīzī describes the Sphinx as the "talisman of the Nile" on which the locals believed the flood cycle depended
It's times like this when you sort of wish Saddam was still in power. What a damn mess Iraq now is. ISIS needs to be dealt with and dealt with quickly.
If I'm understanding correctly, ISIS practices a brand of Islam that isn't too fond of "shrines" or "holy sites". So... expect more of this.
Wahabi/Salafist.
Basically what the Saudis practise, in particular the 'royal' family.
Yes, but at this point, even the Royal family hates the ISIS. As a matter of fact, Arab News is a newspaper from Saudi Arabia.

Contained Proxy becomes full fledged adult. There's no doubt if they have the chance ISIS would bite the hand of the Saudi Royal Family.
Bite? I'm willing to bet they want nothing more than to decapitate the head of the Royal family.
Just curious, why the ''?Wahabi/Salafist.

I think that's pretty inarguable. Of course Sadam and his family would just be committing other horrible acts. But that might be preferable to this mess. Thanks GWB!
What relics and historical sites does islam have left? Might want to start preserving those.
Mecca and Medina are the big two and Saudi Arabia is protecting them well. They've got lots of oil money to do so in addition to all the tourist money from those making the Haj. Number 3 would be the Dome of the Rock in Israel sitting there are on the Temple Mount. It is crazy . . . our world may literally end someday due to a fight over that. If it does . . . so be it. We are not worthy. The great filter has taken us.
The biggest one in my opinion was the house of Prophet Muhammad, which the Saudis destroyed.What relics and historical sites does islam have left? Might want to start preserving those.

. If anything, even Pakistan would help as they did during the Grand Mosque Seizure.
Also no one seems to give a shit over 35 000 Christians been forced out at gunpoint ...
The shit people do in the name of a lot of things is depressing.The shit people do in the name of religion is depressing.
It's so painful to recognize the situation. The Orwellian, imposing and evil looking clocktower hotel. What were they thinking, really.Those morons haven't been kind to Ottoman-era historical sites either. It's a damn shame. Gotta make room for 5 star hotels and clock towers somehow, right?
FFS. .. Please go there and join the fight. Have fun being a bigot.that did not happen as you describe.
christian men were asked to pay the Jizya.
The amount asked was $80 per year. Let me clarify that again, not per month but $80 per year.
Muslims pay more on zakat.
the christans were paying more in taxes when maliki was in control.
Its sad to see the Christians leave mosul to be honest as they were welcome to stay, churches are protected and so are homes and businesses.

Beware of those who preceded you and used to take the graves of their prophets and righteous men as places of worship, but you must not take graves as mosques; I forbid you to do that. (Sahih Muslim)
May Allahs curse be on the Jews for they built the places of worship at the graves of their Prophets. (Sahih Bukhari)

"Destroy the Tombs of Prophets and Saints" - something Prophet Muhammad never said.you do know that the prophet Muhammad destroyed the shrines when he entered mecca right?
remember that Umar bin Al-Khattab also leveled prophet daniel's grave.
Pretty sure ISIS are just following the hadiths from the prophet (saw).
May be of interest. Dark red is area currently under ISIS control, light red is area currently claimed by ISIS.
Funny thing is that some of ISIS financier are Kuwaitis from the MB group.Can Kuwait rely on America for protection? Cause, I'd be kinda shitting my pants if I were them right now.
