I know this is going to sound like I'm missing the point of their reign of terror. I'm not. Decapitating kids, crucifying people, raping girls, and torching prisoners are completely outrageous and bizarre behavior. It's what you expect from savages.
Ain't nothing wrong with being savages. At least self-respecting savages have an internally consistent belief system. Like "Our leader is God and these offerings placate him so we enjoy the favor of his protection." That would be reasonable in comparison to the latest nonsense these retards are spewing. I'm kind of surprised no one has commented on this, so let me take a stab at a major faux pas ....
I'm talking about the iconoclastic rave these chucklehaids threw in the Mosul Museum recently.
A video released by ISIS on Thursday shows members of the terrorist organization and self-proclaimed state destroying important artifacts at Mosul’s museum in Iraq and Assyrian statues at the nearby archeological site of Nineveh. The footage shows men using drills and sledgehammers to destroy first the artifacts in the museum and then three large Assyrian 7th-century BCE statues of bearded winged figures. These statues adorned the gates of the ancient city of Nineveh, mentioned in the Bible in conjunction with the prophet Jonah.
A spokesperson for ISIS says at the beginning of the video that “the prophet Mohammed commanded us to shatter and destroy these statues.”
Oh, really?! Was this the same prophet who commanded you
blow up Jonah's Tomb?
I don't know who these monkeys think they are listening to, but it sure as shit ain't the Prophet Mohammed (pbuh). Now I admit, I never met the guy -- but I know a thing or two about him, Jonah, Nineveh, and Mosul.
Here's a fun fact: Quite a few of the same people are discussed in both the Bible and the Qu'ran. One of them is the prophet Jonah.
Jonah has the distinction of being the only prophet specifically mentioned by Muhammed in a contemporary context. Here's the story:
According to historical narrations about Muhammad's life, after ten years of receiving revelations, Muhammad went to the city of Ta’if to see if its leaders would allow him to preach his message from there rather than Mecca, but he was cast from the city by the people. He took shelter in the garden of Utbah and Shaybah, two members of the Quraysh tribe. They sent their servant, Addas, to serve him grapes for sustenance. Muhammad asked Addas where he was from and the servant replied Nineveh. "The town of Jonah the just, son of Amittai!" Muhammad exclaimed. Addas was shocked because he knew that the pagan Arabs had no knowledge of the prophet Jonah. He then asked how Muhammad knew of this man. "We are brothers" Muhammad replied. "Jonah was a Prophet of God and I, too, am a Prophet of God." Addas immediately accepted Islam and kissed the hands and feet of Muhammad.
This bought Muhammad to Nineveh, now modern-day Mosul. Consequently, Jonah's name is spoken of with praise and reverence by Muhammad. In fact,
One of the sayings of Muhammad, in the collection of Imam Bukhari is this: "One should not say that I am better than Jonah". This is understood by both mainstream Muslims and historians to have been stated by Muhammad to emphasize the notion of equality between all the prophets and the law of making no distinction between any of the messengers. The Arab tribes of the time may have begun to exalt Muhammad above Jonah because of the recent revelation Muhammad received, which recounted the story of Jonah's fleeing from his mission. Muhammad, by saying this, clearly made it a point to the Arabs to not make any distinction between the great apostles of God.
This leads me to seriously question the idea that Muhammad would be down with the goat-loving Da'esh blowing up brother Jonah's tomb and smashing up Ninevah's artifacts.
Like I said at the beginning, I know this sounds like I'm missing the point of these savage bastards. I'm not. The destruction of cultural relics is a terrible thing. Sure, the statues can't feel anything. But robbing people of their history and culture is a violence that leaves enduring scars for generations. Even Hitler couldn't really pull that off.
What makes these assholes noteworthy is we haven't seen a pillaging army like this since the Mongols swept in and destroyed the Ummah. If the Muslim nations in that region don't wake up, these guys are going to do to them the same thing the Mongols did. For the record, the Mongol Catastrophe (as it came to be known) ruined a highly evolved civilization. It was centuries before things made a comeback. Even then, the region never achieved the level of supremacy it had previously enjoyed.
The point of all this? When you hear someone blathering about how Obama is not confronting these bullshit artists because he won't label them "Islamist extremists," you can point to the vandalism in Mosul and say, "Just because some crazy animals hear voices in their heads doesn't mean Muhammad is actually talking to them."
While these guys are intent on destroying the region's past, present and future, we might want to acknowledge that Iran clearly got the memo. They have been bombing these guys as best they can. You'd think the Saudis -- with much better jets -- would get off their asses and join in. After all, the monkey bastards are already launching attacks on the Saudi border with an eye towards capturing Mecca. Maybe the Saudis are too busy decapitating their own people to notice. All I know is the House of Saud better wake up before the princes find their heads on pikes staring at the Kabah.
