FULL TITLE:

Shocking moment ISIS militants take sledgehammers to Mosul tomb of Prophet Jonah as more than 50 blindfolded bodies are found massacred south of Baghdad

========================================================

This is the shocking moment ISIS militants took sledgehammers to Iraqi tombstones - smashing them to pieces.

The rebels, who are members of the Islamic State terror group, were filmed attacking centuries-old graves in the north-west city of Mosul in Ninevah province.

Donning balaclavas and black coats, they swung sledgehammers into the tombs, causing pieces of dust and stone to fly through the air.

Is anyone surprised? Muslims hate any kind of monument or history that isn’t halal. All history before Mohammed needs to be completely wiped out.


They hate truth.

They are mindless savages, but I’m pretty sure Jonah doesn’t care.

My thought also. It would be very easy to weaponize.

Islam has no beef with the ancient prophets. Heck they consider Jesus a prophet. Yes they will kill infidels as they describe them but supposedly have no problem with the prophets themselves. Makes no sense.

“In his defense, he thought it was John Kerry”

We trained the FSA, an enemy of ISIS. Fact is just about every Syrian rebel group is a foe of ISIS.

see CrazyIvan’s response.. there is room inside that horse head for a weapon such as a small explosive. A certain group of religious people are known to sacrifice their own lives with such weapons. Clearly he was white, but Americans have been known to convert.

The fact that the Arab world knows who the prophet Jonah is, is amazing. Too bad it will never enter into their minds to discover what he prophesied about, and its significance to Christ.

According to Wiki:

The Biblical story of Jonah is repeated, with a few notable differences, in the Qur’an.

According to Wiki: Jonah (Yunus in Arabic, or Yunan for Christian Arabs) is highly important in Islam as a prophet who was faithful to God and delivered His messages. In Islam, Jonah is also called Dhul-Nun (Arabic: ذو النون; meaning The One of the Whale). Chapter 10 of the Qur'an is named Jonah, although in this chapter only verse 98 refers to him directly. It is said in Muslim tradition that Jonah came from the tribe of Benjamin and that his father was Amittai.[9] Jonah is the only one of the Twelve Minor Prophets[9] of the Hebrew Bible to be mentioned by name in the Qur'an. Jonah's Qur'anic narrative is extremely similar to the Hebrew Bible story. The Qur'an describes Jonah as a righteous preacher of the message of God but a messenger who, one day, fled from his mission because of its overwhelming difficulty. The Qur'an says that Jonah made it onto a ship but, because of the powerfully stormy weather, the men aboard the ship suggested casting lots to throw off the individual responsible. When the lots were cast three times and Jonah's name came out each time, he was thrown into the open ocean that night. A gigantic fish came and swallowed him, and Jonah remained in the belly of the fish repenting and glorifying God. As the Qur'an says: So also was Jonah among those sent (by Us). When he ran away (like a slave from captivity) to the ship (fully) laden, He (agreed to) cast lots, and he was condemned: Then the big Fish did swallow him, and he had done acts worthy of blame. Had it not been that he (repented and) glorified Allah, He would certainly have remained inside the Fish till the Day of Resurrection. —Qur'an, chapter 37 (As-Saaffat), verse 139–144[10] God forgave Jonah out of His mercy and kindness for the man, and because he knew that Jonah was, at heart, one of the best of men. Therefore, the fish cast Jonah out onto dry land, with Jonah in a state of sickness. God caused a plant to grow where Jonah was lying to provide shade and comfort for him. After Jonah got up, fresh and well, God told him to go back and preach in his land. As the Qur'an says: But We cast him forth on the naked shore in a state of sickness, And We caused to grow, over him, a spreading plant of the gourd kind. And We sent him (on a mission) to a hundred thousand (men) or more. And they believed; so We permitted them to enjoy (their life) for a while. —Qur'an, chapter 37 (As-Saaffat), verse 145–148[11]

The representation of Jonah in the Quran is laughable. I read it. It cannot be compared to the biblical account.

Even so, these morons must not have read their Koran, to destroy his alleged tomb. There are several places in the Levant that claim Jonah’s tomb, some in Israel, Lebanon and Jordan. So I guess they will all be destroyed as ISIS advances into those territories as well.
