But then I must ask what do you think is happening to our own culture? No they are not blowing up the Louvre...yet, but their numbers in the west are destroying our culture the same as any bomb destroyed these treasures. Do you think there is a muslim on this planet who would protect a Monet, a Rembrandt, a Da Vinci from the destructive hoards in their own culture? Islam despises any expression or creativity by any other group because those expressions emphasizes just what islam lacks...humanity. |

The systematic destruction of antiquities may be the worst disaster to ancient monuments since the Taliban in Afghanistan dynamited the giant statues of Buddha at Bamiyan in 2001 for similar ideological reasons. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 49443815 In mid-January the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isis), an al-Qa’ida-type movement controlling much of north-east Syria, blew up and destroyed a sixth-century Byzantine mosaic near the city of Raqqa on the Euphrates. The official head of antiquities for Raqqa province, who has fled to Damascus and does not want his name published, told The Independent: “It happened between 12 and 15 days ago. A Turkish businessman had come to Raqqa to try to buy the mosaic. This alerted them [Isis] to its existence and they came and blew it up. It is completely lost.” [link to www.independent.co.uk] Exactly what TPTB wants; the agenda of the that being known as the god of religions. |

A young soldier told me he had bought some of those stolen treasures and sent them back home FEDEX. Then FEDEX lost the package and gave him the insurance money. You should be asking FEDEX, the official mail courier for the government during our deployment, about what they have kept from the war. |
