This is getting ridiculous.
But is it really any more ridiculous than what the Blacks are doing to our heritage in the US?
At least the ISIS barbarians aren’t getting the approval of a respected establishment in the way the US establishment is giving approval to be Blacks.
They are already tearing down Confederate war monuments. How long before monuments in DC are subject to the ISIS treatment?
A 2,000-year-old arch in the ancient Syrian city of Palmyra is the latest casualty by ISIS militants.
Professor Maamoun Abduilkarim, the country’s director of antiquities, confirmed that ISIS Sunday blew up the Arch of Triumph, one of the city’s most recognizable sites. “Shocked” and “shameful,” he told ABC News, noting that unlike the two temples that were destroyed earlier this year, the arch has no religious significance.
The arch was known to locals as the “Bridge of the Desert” because it linked the Roman Empire to Persia and the East.
Professor Abduilkarim said he had not seen photos or videos of the devastation, but learned reports from eyewitnesses.
“They’re destroying building by building,” he said, “within three to six months, at this pace, we’re going to lose Palmyra.”
He said there had been witness accounts of militants digging holes with bulldozers to place explosives around the arch as well as other sites that he expects will be destroyed. The arch sat on top of columns lining the ancient city streets. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported the columns have been left in place.
The office of the Syrian presidency posted a statement on its official Facebook page today condemning the destruction of the arch as “revenge” of the civilization that “disrupts … their darkness.”
There are two choices, Professor Abduilkarim said: sit and watch and lose the city, or the Syrian army advances quickly with the support of the international forces and retakes Palmyra.
