Yes, ISIS is attempting to eradicate history just like their American counterparts, the Leftards.

This is the tyrannical instinct to change history by destroying the artifacts and killing the historians.

Isn't this what liberals are doing in rewriting or reinterpreting our own history?
If they could, do you doubt that they would destroy or kill anything that opposed them?

Islamic State militants beheaded a renowned antiquities scholar in the ancient Syrian city of Palmyra and hung his mutilated body on a column in a main square of the historic site because he apparently refused to reveal to his Isis captors where valuable artefacts had been removed for safekeeping.

This is such a depressing day. Between this, the thugs slugging the older woman in church, and the Planned Parenthood people cutting the face off a baby with a beating heart to rip out its brain...and laughing about it...I just don’t know what to do.

It was a rhetorical question:

noun

1. a question asked solely to produce an effect or to make an assertion and not to elicit a reply.

You’d think they’d like antiquities since they live in the distant past, guess not.

They’re beyond beasts. They make the Nazis look tame(r) by comparison.

They only like antiquities when they confirm their own viewpoint. History and truth are to be destroyed in any other circumstance.
