ISIS destroys ancient statues, shrines & artifacts

[Augustus Janus]

Nothing new for sure but still maddening. Fanaticism is a terrible arrogance where people only see their religious views as having any merit and such total unfeeling disregard for other beliefs and even their own history. Many of the pre-Henry VIII churches and abbeys in the UK are now only ruins all because one self-absorbed despot wanted a divorce.

I think any museum would be mad if they were to re-patriate anything to the middle east.
