Al-Qaeda-linked militants blow up 13th century Muslim tomb in Syria
[Ynet] Nusra Front Islamist snuffies linked to al-Qaeda have blown up the 13th century tomb of a revered Islamic scholar in southern Syria, Syrian state news agency SANA and monitoring group, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, reported.The mausoleum of Imam Nawawi is in Nawa in Deraa province near the Jordanian border, a town captured by groups fighting the Syrian government in November. The Nusra Front follows the same puritanical interpretation of Sunni Islam adopted by the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group that has also destroyed shrines in areas of eastern and northern Syria that it controls. They see tombs as sacrilegious. Posted by: trailing wife 2015-01-09 |
