I realize that the headline of this article sounds like it must be false, but it is actually completely true. The Temple of Baal (also known as the Temple of Bel) was a world famous landmark that was located in Palmyra, Syria. In August 2015, this temple was destroyed by ISIS, and most of the world recoiled in terror at the loss of a "cultural heritage site". In an attempt to "preserve history", two exact replicas of the 50 foot arch that stood at the entrance to the temple will be erected in April 2016 in Times Square in New York City and in Trafalgar Square in London. Needless to say, a lot of people are quite disturbed by this. In ancient times, child sacrifice and bisexual orgies were common practices at the altars of Baal, and now we are putting up a monument of worship to this false god in the heart of our most important city.
[Snip]
Ritualistic Baal worship, in sum, looked a little like this: Adults would gather around the altar of Baal. Infants would then be burned alive as a sacrificial offering to the deity. Amid horrific screams and the stench of charred human flesh, congregants – men and women alike – would engage in bisexual orgies. The ritual of convenience was intended to produce economic prosperity by prompting Baal to bring rain for the fertility of “mother earth.”
The natural consequences of such behavior – pregnancy and childbirth – and the associated financial burdens of “unplanned parenthood” were easily offset. One could either choose to engage in homosexual conduct or – with child sacrifice available on demand – could simply take part in another fertility ceremony to “terminate” the unwanted child.

This one was in Syria, not in Israel.
Really? I thought they had put it there years ago.
Makes perfect sense since NYC is the pre-born genocidal capital of the most civilized nation in the world.
“However, the LORD did not turn from the fierceness of His great wrath with which His anger burned against Judah, because of all the provocations with which Manasseh had provoked Him. And the LORD said, “I will remove Judah also from My sight, as I have removed Israel. And I will cast off Jerusalem, this city which I have chosen, and the temple (house) of which I said, ‘My name shall be there.’”
“Surely at the command (mouth) of the LORD it came upon Judah, to remove them from His sight because of the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he had done, and also for the innocent blood which he shed, for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; AND THE LORD WOULD NOT FORGIVE.” (All caps mine) 2 Kings 23:26 & 27 and 24:3 & 4

If it’s not of God, it’s a lie. A false god.
btw, I thought that the isil worshiped baal.
The Temple of Dendur stands inside the Metropolitan Museum of Art, I think it was a gift for help in moving the Ramses and Nefertari temples of Abu Simbel when Lake Nasser was rising.
The Nashville Temple, Shrine of the Goddess Athene, a Parthenon replica in Nashville -- The City of Nashville first undertook the construction of a full-scale replica of the Parthenon to house the art exhibition for the 1897 Tennessee Centennial Exposition. Cities, industries and other interest groups built pavilions for the celebration. Nashville's pavilion was constructed of brick, wood and plaster and was intended to reflect the city's reputation as the "Athens of the South." The celebration lasted from May to October of 1897, just six months. Once the exposition was over, all of the buildings were moved or disassembled except for the Parthenon. Due to popular demand, the city left the temporary structure standing which was replaced by a permanent structure finished in 1931. Today, the Parthenon is the centerpiece of Centennial Park, a city park named for this memorable celebration. By as early as the 1950's, it had become apparent that cosmetic repairs would soon be necessary for the building's decorative concrete forms and areas most exposed to the weather. However, the need for restoration was not fully addressed until only a few years ago. Fencing and scaffolding were erected around the Parthenon in 1991. This signaled the beginning of the restoration process which will ultimately take at least ten years and over 12 million dollars to complete... Athena is now clothed in gold, 10 years after completion of the sculpture, the Nashville Athena has finally been finished as it was meant to be. They used 23.75 carat Italian gold leaf, and estimate 90,000 leaves. See more at The Athena Project - Summer 2002 [Photographs by Zorba]

“God has a different perspective on “historical” heritage places.”
....Unless that place had been dedicated to HIM in the first place, such as for example, where the two original Jewish temples once stood in Israel.
And that was part of the Promised Land.

Absolutely ,, It’s the abortion capitol of the USA ... a tribute to an ancient sex cult that burned babies alive seems fitting.
The perverted left have no regard for Baal. They just see it as an opportunity to poke Christianity, which they despise with a supernatural contempt, in the eye.
Exodus 34:13. Tear down their altars and columns.
I was embarrassed just to look at that piece of crapola they erected for his hineyness
