FWIW, this doesn't appear to be authentic anyway -- it would be as if ISIS destroyed the Magic Castle in a Disney park and we acted as if they'd destroyed Mad Ludwig's original. Thanks DeathBeforeDishonor1.

ISIS barbarians have destroyed a 2,000-year-old gate close to their Iraqi stronghold of Mosul.
The breathtaking structure is known as the Gate of God, and used to guard the ancient Assyrian city Nineveh.
The destruction of the ancient structure, also called the Mashki Gate, has been confirmed by the British Institute for the Study of Iraq, and the Antiquities Department in Baghdad has not denied the demolition.
The terrorists demolished the ancient gate using military equipment, according to activists in Mosul.
ISIS thugs have destroyed many of Iraqi historic sites and monuments, including the Assyrian city of Nimrud, the Winged Bulls, and the Mosul National Museum.

I wish they would try to destroy Mecca. Talk about an uprising that would destroy them.
I did a lot of reading this weekend on this subject, if its an attack, they will go after the attacker. If its an accident, they can rebuild. If the US destroys Mecca, its the beginning of WWIII, Armageddon according to the Holy Teachings of the Koran. Many WANT Armageddon to begin, when the Mahdi returns, and will do what they can to hasten its arrival. But their are strict guidelines for this to happen, otherwise, it would have already happened.
FWIW, this doesn't appear to be authentic anyway -- it would be as if ISIS destroyed the Magic Castle in a Disney park and we acted as if they'd destroyed Mad Ludwig's original. Thanks DeathBeforeDishonor1.
Nabopolassar, the Chaldean, was allied with Cyaxares, the king of the Medes and the prince of Damascus; Assurbanipal and after him Sin-shar-ishkun of Assyria were aided by Pharaoh Seti and for some time by the king of the Scythians. Egyptian troops are mentioned for the first time in Napopolassar’s year 10 (-616). For many years the fortunes of war changed camps. Then Nabopolassar and Cyaxares, the Mede, brought the Scythians over to their side. Their armies advanced from three sides against Nineveh. In August of the year -612 The dam on the Tigris was breached, and Nineveh was stormed. In a single night the city that was the splendor of its epoch went up in flames, and the centuries-old empire that ceaselessly carried sword and fire to the four quarters of the ancient world -- as far as Elam and Lydia, Sarmatia and Ethiopia -- ceased to exist forever... The Assyrian king Sin-shar-ishkun perished in the flames of his own palace.The Assyrian Conquest by Immanuel Velikovsky The End of Nineveh

Didn’t Mohommed control Mosul? Did he destroy it too?
I think I remember reading baboons do the same.
I wouldn’t refer to anything written in that pathetic, disgusting book as ‘holy’
have you read it?
