ISIS militants storm Churches and Christian graveyards in Mosul
2015-03-18
[ARA] Militants of the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
group (IS/ISIS) stormed several churches and Christian graveyards in the city of djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
, in Nineveh province of northern Iraq, and removed all crosses from the tops of the churches and the halls, replacing them with the black flag of the radical group, local sources reported on Tuesday.

Speaking to ARA News in Mosul, Abu Tawfiq, a resident of Mosul, said that IS snuffies smashed hundreds of crosses and headstones of the Christian graves.

"They (IS Lion of Islams) deformed precious wall paintings and stole rare masterpieces. They confiscated several golden monuments from the churches in the city," Tawfiq said.

Under the banner of demolishing infidel symbols from the city, the radical group released pictures of its members smashing crosses at the tops of churches and tombstones in the Christian graveyard of Mosul.

Last year, the IS hardline group had cracked crosses in churches of Tel Abyad (Gire Spi) in Raqqa province, in northeastern Syria, turning them into headquarters.

#3  And this is why it was stupid to announce Iraq would take Mosul back, and the timeline. Walked back, but too late. Now they're on a time limit to destroy everything ASAP.

#2  When it looks like Allah is removing his approval of his beloved ones, best to display increased piety in the way He likes best. The next step is removing the polluting Christians themselves, both living and dead, of course.
