ISIS blows up historical mosque in Mosul
2015-05-28
"There is no "history", there is only Allah's eternal now, when we, his chosen ones, rule, and you whom he despises are forever conquered and enslaved. Capish?"
[Rudaw] 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
 snuffies have blown up a historical mosque in their latest destruction of historical landmarks in the city of djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
, according to a Kurdish official.

"The Islamic State snuffies blew up the historical mosque of Bakr al-Afandi in Mosul's western neighborhood of Bab Al-Top on Wednesday," Saeed Mamuzini, a media officer of the Kurdistan Democratic Party in Mosul, told Rudaw on Wednesday.

"ISIS blew up the mosque under the pretext of it having shrines inside, which is forbidden," Mamuzni said. "The mosque of Bakr Al-Afandi was established in 1207."

Earlier this month, ISIS also blew up the nearly 200-year-old Maryam Khatoon Mosque in Mosul, Mamuzni told Rudaw.

Mosul fell in early June 2014 after the rapid capitulation of the Iraqi military, whose members reportedly abandoned their posts as the jihadists advanced.

#4  I want to see them turn the black boulder to black gravel. I'd have to find something better than pop-corn for that.

#3  That would be a prudent RLTW solution Ranger. Our current regime could not abide such an effort.

#2  I am looking forward to seeing the ISIS monsters seize Karbala, and destroy the Husayn Ibn Ali mosque/shrine. That will definitely get the Shias foaming at the mouth crazy - which is guaranteed to bring about more wanton slaughter of muzzies by other muzzies. Pass the popcorn. More bullets for both sides.

#1  Forget! The Islamist consistory
Shakes furious fists at its history,
But why henna-dyed heirs,
Like Elisha's she-bears,
Devour their future's a mystery.
