ISIS Militants Blow Up Jonah’s Tomb In Iraq by Nobody: 11:41am On Jul 25, 2014
The militant group has
been destroying holy
sites as it seeks to
impose Sharia law.
This week, it blew up the tomb
of the biblical prophet said
to have survived inside a
whale.A video posted to YouTube Thursday
appears to show the
destruction of Jonah’s
tomb in Mosul, Iraq.


The tomb is thought to be
the burial place of the Old Testament prophet who survived in the belly of a
whale. Officials in Mosul said
militants with the Islamic
State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS)
planted explosives around
the shrine and detonated them remotely, CNN reports. The militants are trying to impose Sharia law in the areas under their
control.
The tomb was located
inside a Sunni mosque. Jonah features prominently
in Islam, Judaism and
Christianity, but the tomb
was located inside the
Mosque of the Prophet
Younis, a Sunni worship site. The ISIS has blown up
several Sunni holy sites in
Mosul recently, CNN reports, and last month destroyed
seven Shiite sites in Tal Afar,
about 30 miles from Mosul.

ISIS has also been
driving Christians out of
Mosul.
Earlier this month, the
radical Islamic group —
which took over Mosul in June — gave Christians in the city the choice to either flee, pay a $470, or face
execution. The city's last
1,500 Christian families were
then robbed a ISIS
checkpoints, according to The Guardian, and a group of
monks were only allowed
to take the clothes they
were wearing. The U.N. also has reported that ISIS has ordered female
genital mutilation in Mosul.

The religion of Christ is not about symbols. It is purely spiritual. Christ is King no matter how many symbols are destroyed. Christ never asked anyone to face any phony object many times a day to show piety. He never created a tourism industry by asking followers to make a meaningless trip to some hideous object for show of faith. Christianity is a religion of the heart.

There is nothing about useless comment... My comment isnt about Islam... Its about the rebels. Malian rebels were demolishing worship places and UN heritage sites... Didnt that put them and ISIL on the same page...

Truly a religion of the heart. That is why your ladies now walk about unclad with a BIG cross on their exposed br**St. Cristianity is truly a symbol od indescencies because it is" a religion of the heart ". The example has been shown in the child molesters in Rome. If you live in glass house do not throw stone.
