She should be decrying the genocidal massacre of christians and other residents as a war crime. Artifacts are tangible; human life is not.
Catholic ping!
People criticized the Brits for “looting” artifacts from around the world and putting them in museums. Seems they did the world a favor. Should have done more.
we need to capture ISIS terrorists and tie them up and go after them with sledge hammers .
What a tragedy. When the crazies govern. I admit that when it comes to historical artifacts I am extremely liberal. They should be preserved for all that man may not forget his history.

Destroying the historical evident of their own existence should make erasing them from the face of the Earth easier.
Give me a sledgehammer and I’ll sledge them. Stuff like this really angers me.
“Amr al-Azm, a Syrian anthropologist and historian, on his Facebook page called the destruction “a tragedy and catastrophic loss for Iraqi history and archaeology beyond comprehension.”
A narrator of the video calls the objects “idols and statues that people in the past used to worship instead of Allah.”
Oh... I thought they were doing this because they are poor and don’t have jobs.
Arab and Persian cultures haven't produced anything of value since Islam took over... 700 years and not crap to show for it.
They're losers. - fighting over control of how many women they can get - even if it's first cousins...
Lowlifes. Destroyers... But not shocking.
The fact that we cannot bestir ourselves to end these depraved enemies of civilization is a greater outrage than their iconoclasm.
If the civilized world is to survive, it must recognize Islam for what it really is: It’s not a religion, form of government, or anything recognizable to the civilized mind. Islam is a disease, an incurable disease of the mind that is highly contagious among the feeble minded and is now spreading among the world’s feeble minded at an epidemic rate. As with any disease, one can’t reason with this disease, negotiate with it, or treat in any manner other than how one would treat any other incurable disease.
Past efforts to contain this disease have failed. Now, carriers of this Plague of Islam must be eradicated wherever they're found, for if they're not, this disease will eventually end not just Western Civilization, but it will undo over 5,000 years of human civilization.
Effing savages. Nuke the lot of them.

This is just destroying history not “idols”. This will only cause the opposition to them to grow.
When you are dead inside, 100% dead in every way that matters while you still waste air, you give us, I suppose, a taste of Armageddon.
Islam (peaceful, moderate or militant) and culture (any culture) is an oxymoron.
Give it another 100 years and any trace of an “American” culture will be non-existent.
It’s deja vu all over again. Remember when the Progressives railed against the invasion when the looting started? Where are they now? Somehow this destruction will be the fault of the US again.
You’d think that they would at least think of selling them first before smashing the hell out of them.
The population of Mosul is 1,800,000, and it's reasonable to assume most of the population is Iraqi.
My new permanent attitude to whatever they suffer now and in the future is simple. If all of those Iraqis of all ages do not see the life-and death urgency of defending their own community, their population, their families, and their cultural heritage, THEY CAN BETTER ACCEPT THAT NO FURTHER AMERICAN BLOOD AND TREASURE WILL DO IT FOR THEM! PERIOD.
I will support helping the Iraqis who clearly are not members of the barbaric two-legged animals in ISIS and related bands of criminals, but only if that help is guaranteed not to be allowed to eventually get to the enemy, and under no circumstances will that aid be in terms of U.S. Dollars dumped into that God-forsaken place full of criminals, corrupt politicians and opportunities milking the American taxpayer..
Resist or die now should be their own choice.
No more American waste there, please!
THIS is why the Elgin Marbles can stay right where they are.
