| [ARA] On Thursday, 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.... 's (IS/ISIS) murderous Moslems bombed a number of Shiite mosques and shrines in the district of Hamdania, southeast of djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... . Also on Thursday, the radical group destroyed the monastery of "Martyrs Mar Behnam and Sarah Mar", southeast of Mosul, which dates back to the 4th century AD. Several civilian sources in the city of Mosul told ARA News on condition of anonymity that IS members moved the entire contents of Shiite mosques and shrines and warned the residents of the nearby neighborhoods to contribute to the destruction. The monastery of "Martyrs Mar Behnam and Sarah Mar" is a Syriac Catholic monastery located in Nineveh province in the northwestern suburb of Mosul. The monastery has been associated with the story of the Assyrian Prince Mar Behnam, who converted to Christianity with his sister Sarah. Over the past few months, the Islamic State had bombed a number of mosques in Mosul, under the pretext of the existence of infidels' shrines, after looting the ancient contents. |
