ERBIL, Iraqi – Satellite photos obtained by The Associated Press confirm what church leaders and Middle East preservationists had feared: The oldest Christian monastery in Iraq has been reduced to a field of rubble, yet another victim of the ISIS terror group's relentless destruction of heritage sites it considers heretical.

"The last muslim will be in a diorama in a natural history museum with stitches on its head."

Literally, like the last one. I'd pay $20 entrance fee to see that, maybe throw him a piece of salted pork...

Thanks a fool in paradise.

Aye. It’s awful watching the West go down without even a struggle. No reflection on the rough men who would tear these savages in half with their bare hands but the complete lack of leadership is appalling.

This monastery survived the wars between the Byzantines and Sassanids, the original Arab invasion post-Muhammad, the Mongol horde, and the Turks.

>>This is the way it always is.

A little less “Kinder and Gentler” than the Wizard of Oz proclaimed it turns out.

Must be enormously disturbing to the stars in the force that the Middle Kingdom cat has already made its Exodus from the archaeological bag.

There are two Gods, the God of Good and the God of Evil. They appeal to the humans who are also divided in both categories. There are over a billion Christians, and over a billion Muslims. There are over 7 billion who practice neither. No mater which religion you believe in, it winds down to the good and evil. The problem is the fingers get pointed in both directions as they all see the other as evil and themselves as good. The sad part is they want to kill each other in the name of their Gods. Unfortunately I see no end to this lunacy. Mankind is truly doomed.

It’s just a building...Doesn’t mean anything to God....A good tourist attraction for Christians...

There’s a Medill school of journalism story that pops up on the sources and in Google search, but apparently it got pulled, probably for the usual BS lib reasons.

The Prosecution of Christians, and Christianity we are definitely in the Fulfillment of time’s of which the Prophets, speak of speak of

It's always been there to a certain extent. But now it is much more known due to worldwide communication availability, travel, and knowledge. Islam is definitely a tool of the antichrist and quite possible be what triggers the Armageddon. Europe is paralyzed with either fear or political correctness in dealing with it and were well on our way there also as a nation.
