They're beheading the men and selling the women into slavery. I suppose this is a little thing. Wait until they get to Rome, which is on their list. It's part of the Ummah after all. Did I say Rome? Never anything there. Only the conspiracy theorists who think there was a library in Alexandria think there was something of import in Palmyra, or Rome.

" Islamic State militants have destroyed a temple at the ancient ruins of Palmyra in Syria,..." And they are busy planning the same fate for the monuments and art work of Egypt, Europe, America and anywhere else that they think offends their primitive Islamic sensibilities.

UNESCO is considering to hold a meeting to plan a session with an agenda to have the secretariat issue a strongly worded plea for IS/IL/IS to “play nice”!

I have no problem with destroying pagan temples, but ISIS is deceived as well.

They are just finishing the natural decay of rock. I’m sure the gods they honored didn’t hear or see a thing.
To: Eagles6
Same thing. If they can erase enough of our history the question can be asked, slavery, what slavery?

We can put them to work on Civil War battlefields. Only those where the Confederacy won.

My first introduction to Palmyra was in a Richard Halliburton book. Now it is no more.

Yes it is. The destruction of ancient ruins, regardless of their original purpose, deprives all of humanity of information and historical resources. To claim you have no problem with such destruction is essentially to say you have no problem with continuing ignorance regarding humanity’s history.
