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.

My statement is accurate as it pertains to Islam itself. Mohammed did not revile the prophets and Jesus was especially revered. That is why it makes no sense for these animals to do this. It just proves they are not even following their own trashy religion.

RE; Prophet Jonah’s tomb destroyed by ISIS in Iraq.

Have reputable archeologists REALLY identified this as Jonah’s tomb?

I don’t think so because it is too transparent. I think Islam is what will unite the world UNDER the anti-Christ. Because of the terror and the coming world economic crash (Jews and Christian capitalist’s fault), the sheople of the world will listen to the anti-Christ’s “Change” promises and submit. Will probably be very, very good looking, too.

Revelation 6:8 "I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him....."

Pale horse or some translations say green horse. Green being the color of Islam. Kind of makes sense to me anyway. Looks like prophecy unfolding before our eyes.

Don’t know. I guess they’ll have to see if there is the body of a whale/big fish nearby. ;)

But it is the desecreation/destruction of any religious structure that does not meet their strict “no idols” interpretation of Islam. Just like the Taliban folks destroyed the giant Buddha statues in Afghanistan 15 or so years ago.

Clearly he was white, but Americans have been known to convert.

I've always considered Arabs to be white. Am I wrong?

If you owned or ever wore one of these, you would know immediately that there’s barely enough room for your head let alone anything else. It’s very easy to see down the snout to the person’s eyes, so if something was obscuring that view, it would be noticeable.

Prophet Jonah’s tomb destroyed by ISIS in Iraq.


Jonah

Introduction


Written in the postexilic era, probably in the fifth century B.C., this book is a didactic story with an important theological message. It concerns a disobedient prophet who attempted to run away from his divine commission, was cast overboard and swallowed by a great fish, rescued in a marvelous manner, and sent on his way to Nineveh, the traditional enemy of Israel. To the surprise of Jonah, the wicked city listened to his message of doom and repented immediately. All, from king to lowliest subject, humbled themselves in sackcloth and ashes. Seeing their repentance, God did not carry out the punishment he had planned for them. Whereupon Jonah complained to God about the unexpected success of his mission; he was bitter because Yahweh, instead of destroying, had led the people to repentance and then spared them.

From this partly humorous story, a very sublime lesson may be drawn. Jonah stands for a narrow and vindictive mentality, all too common among the Jews of that period. Because they were the chosen people, a good many of them cultivated an intolerant nationalism which limited the mercy of God to their nation. It was abhorrent to their way of thinking that nations as wicked as Assyria should escape his wrath.

The prophecy, which is both instructive and entertaining, strikes directly at this viewpoint. It is a parable of mercy, showing that God's threatened punishments are but the expression of a merciful will which moves all men to repent and seek forgiveness. The universality of the story contrasts sharply with the particularistic spirit of many in the postexilic community. The book has also prepared the way for the gospel with its message of redemption for all, both Jew and Gentile.

rarestia is correct. A number of effective exploves could have been in the nose, snout, whatever you call it on a horse.

Don’t know why people are so upset they’re destroying these.....they’re simply doing what they do, and say they will do. That’s the difference between how BiBi handles them and all other nations....he knows if they say it they’re going to carry it out.

Too bad people upset over this aren’t even moreso with their terrorist attacks and killing people.
