Places of worship blown up in Iraq
2014-09-26
[ARABNEWS] The murderous Moslems controlling the Iraqi city of Tikrit have blown up a Moslem shrine and rigged one of the region's oldest churches with explosives, security sources said Thursday.

...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....
group (IS), said Al-Arbain mosque was dynamited on Wednesday. The shrine is the reputed burial site of 40 early Moslem figures, including companions of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

IS advocates a return to the origins of Islam but also considers worshipping at graves to be tantamount to idolatry.

Witnesses told AFP that IS gunnies set up the explosives inside the shrine on Tuesday and detonated them the next day. "Yes, they have blow up this holy site," said Yahya Al-Attawi, the imam of the main mosque in Tikrit, speaking from outside the city.

Elsewhere in the hometown of executed former president Saddam Hussein, IS also rigged the Green Church, a striking structure carved into the rock and first built in the seventh century.

Residents said many streets, homes and public buildings had been booby-trapped by the murderous Moslems who have held the city for more than three months and fought off attempts by government forces to take it back.

Meanwhile,

after their self-styled Islamic court ruled that she had abandoned Islam, the UN mission in Iraq said.

Samira Salih Al-Nuaimi was seized from her home on Sept. 17 after allegedly posting messages on Facebook that were critical of the Lion of Islams' destruction of religious sites in Mosul.

According to the UN Assistance Mission in Iraq, Al-Nuaimi was tried in a so-called "Shariah court" for apostasy, after which she was tortured for five days before the murderous Moslems sentenced her to "public execution."

She was killed on Monday. Her Facebook page appears to have been removed since her death.

#3  They have no compatibility with western culture. The world would not miss these death-absorbed barbarians.

After WWII, Winston Churchill surveyed all the death and destruction and said it would have been the easiest war to prevent back in 1936.
