Watching this video broke my heart. Today, ISIS thugs ransacked Mosul’s central museum, destroying priceless artifacts that are thousands of years old, in the group’s latest rampage which threatens to upend millennia of coexistence in the Middle East.

Thousands of years of history destroyed in less than a minute. These guys haven't contributed to anything to society but pain and anguish, and yet they take pride in destroying artwork created by some of our earliest ancestors.

None, it's to show the world they're mad.

I saw this on the news and was livid. So much history, down the drain.

There's more religion behind it than just that answer.

The five-minute video, which was officially released by these animals begins with a Qur’anic verse on idol worship. An Isis representative then speaks to the camera, condemning Assyrians and Akkadians as polytheists, justifying the destruction of the artefacts and statues.

The man describes Muhammad’s (their prophet) destruction of idols in Mecca as an example.

He says: These statues and idols, these artifacts, if God has ordered its removal, they became worthless to us even if they are worth billions of dollars.

Sam Harris is an excellent speaker, but to rationalize using nuclear weapons on this group of animals wouldn't be fair for rest of the population that would have to suffer from the aftermath of the bomb.
