Shocking new images released today have shown ISIS terrorists toppling crosses, smashing Christian relics with hammers and erecting the black flag of ISIS on churches in Iraq. The latest photos show the militants vandalising churches in Nineveh, the ancient capital of the Assyrian empire. Pictured in civilian clothing, the ISIS thugs are seen overturning statues, destroying religious icons and replacing Christian crosses with the chilling ISIS banner.

“Shocking”

No, not really. The world is unwilling to stop petulant children from misbehaving, so they’re going to continue doing what they will. There’s only one way to end this, and it doesn’t involve a jobs program, or a talking circle.

And they burnt the house of God, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem, and burnt all the palaces thereof with fire, and destroyed all the goodly vessels thereof.

20And them that had escaped from the sword carried he away to Babylon; and they were servants to him and his sons until the reign of the kingdom of Persia:

And our wounded warriors fought for what?

Americans lost limbs and more, for what?

Seems like a perfect decentive to join the military.

ISIS believes that they are only doing what the Prophet Mohammad told Muslims in the Hadith that Jesus himself will do when he comes at the end of time to judge all of mankind. "Crosses" refers to Christianity. "Swine" and "pigs" refers to Jews.

Hadith: The collection of teachings and sayings of the Prophet Mohammad that most Muslims believe are almost divinely inspired as the Koran is divinely inspired. Check out the following Hadith:

0287 sahih Muslim

Abu Huraira reported that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: By Him in Whose hand is my life, the son of Mary (may peace be upon him) will soon descend among you as a just judge. He will break crosses, kill swine and abolish Jizya and the wealth will pour forth to such an extent that no one will accept it.

0289 sahih Muslim

It is narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger or Allah (may peace be upon him) observed: I swear by Allah that the son of Mary will certainly descend as a just judge and he would definitely break the cross, and kill swine and abolish Jizya and would leave the young she-camel and no one would endeavour to (collect Zakat on it). Spite, mutual hatred and jealousy against one another will certainly disappear and when he summons people to accept wealth, not even one would do so.

656 Bukhari

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour will not be established until the son of Mary (i.e. Jesus) descends amongst you as a just ruler, he will break the cross, kill the pigs, and abolish the Jizya tax. Money will be in abundance so that nobody will accept it (as charitable gifts).

The Taliban dynamited 6th century statues of buddha in 2001 on orders from leader Mullah Mohammed Omar. They will destroy any 'idol' or 'symbol' not pertaining to islam.

In 2009 we were offended when Obama had the Cross symbolism of Jesus covered when he spoke at Georgetown University.

Yet when confronted by armed soldiers they dress as women and try to sneak away. Cowards.

They can destroy as many crosses as they please. They will never detroy Christ and his message.

Nineveh was the city to which the prophet Jonah was sent, but he resisted and was swallowed by the great fish. After being spared, he went as ordered and preached to them.

Jonah 3:10
When God saw what they did and how they turned from their evil ways, he had compassion and did not bring upon them the destruction he had threatened.

They do what Mohammad did. In 623 AD, it was the way of life on the Arabian Peninsula. It started out, robbing caravans. Then it went to the villages for ransack and mayhem. To emulate that way of life in 2015 is going back in time to barbarism. It was a time when the “Prophet” appealed to the savages on the Arabian Peninsula to bring him a fifth of their booty in their conquests. They could keep the 4/5 for themselves. Today’s savages are in it for the same self-serving purposes. They really do not need the religious scripture to justify their pillage. They All they need is the guy at the top to direct them to the easy takings. The religion only helps whatever sense of guilt might disturb their sleep as they dream about their ill-gotten booty, women, and slaves. And, don’t forget their sadistic destructive demonic dreams about turning the Mediterranean red with Christian blood. Ah, such wishful thinking!

In the end, the cross wins and ISIS is doomed.
