The U.N. Security Council unanimously adopted a resolution Friday condemning the unlawful destruction of cultural heritage and warning the Islamic State extremist group, al-Qaida and other combatants that such attacks may constitute war crimes.

The. Thye might as well comdemn Suni islam, the prime destroyer of open women culture in the world.
Yeah why weren't they worried about this when Obama was in office? Oh yeah because he was funding them...
SJWs are war criminals. They are destroying American historical cultural monuments because they are white.
