ISIS destroys Syrian Church on Easter Sunday

[redsn0w]

ISIS insurgents blew up an 80-year-old church in Syria's northeastern province of Hassaka on Easter Sunday, Syrian state news agency SANA said.

SANA, which did not report any casualties, said the militants had planted explosives inside the Church of the Virgin Mary in Tel Nasri, an Assyrian village in an area where Christian and Kurdish militia have been battling the self-proclaimed Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS).

ISIS controls the village, the news agency said on Monday. The militant group, which controls swathes of Syria and Iraq, espouses a fiercely terrorist ideology, deeming many Muslims to be heretics. Its fighters have destroyed Shi'ite and Sufi religious sites and also attacked churches.

This is a shame  , I hope someone will stop their action.

This is really modern barbarism and cultural genocide.
If we don't stop them, they will destroy the cultural heritage and history of that area.
Really is amazing so much hatred towards the history and tradition of a whole culture.

Seize all the Western assets of Saudi Arabia and Qatar and distribute them to the victims of the ISIS genocide. These two nations are responsible for the ISIS curse.

I don't understand why they don't attack israel, they proclaim muslims but they kill also muslims so this is not "really" rational. However (ontopic) what is the purpose for destroy a church?

Israelis are also one of the top supporters of ISIS. They even conducted air strikes in Syria, to help the ISIS against Assad's forces. They have really low moral values.

They aren't that stupid?

If they attack Israel, they will be brutally eliminated and Israel will take massive chunks of lands as their own, like every other time Muslims have tried to attack Israel.  ISIS like to pick their battles, Israel would be a poor choice.

There is more that one type of Islam, so I guess they don't mind killing muslims either, they also have political goals, not just religious.

Another interesting article about of what is happened:

According to Syrian state news agency SANA, the 80-year-old St Mary's Church in Tel Nasri - an Assyrian village in an area where Christian and Kurdish militia have been fighting Isis - has been destroyed by the jihadist group. The report did not reveal if there were any causalities. It is suggested that the Isis operation on Easter Sunday was aimed at eliminating the Christian and Kurdish militia groups. The Church of Our Lady Mary, built in 1934, was one of Syria's oldest churches.

yeah its a shame. Those who built them will also be those who r going to destroy them (ISIS). Isis is a bunch of psychopathic, sociopathic terrorists. They won't accept other religions, other culture and other "thinking". The sad truth is that there is NO dipomatic or human solution against those warlords. Only the way of massdestruction and violence can stop ISIS. Thats it. My feeling tells me that 2016 is going to be the year of ISIS fall.. Its just very sad that hundreds of thousands of civilians are going to die with them.

You are wrong. ISIS can be easily defeated, if their foreign support is destroyed. It is the financial and political support which they receives from Saudi Arabia and Qatar, which makes ISIS invincible.

Wahhabism is the most extreme form of islam, it's not even islamic they just use it to spread their barbaric believes and the core is from saudi arabia, it's a disgusting branch fuelling terrorism like isis and guess what one of americas biggest allies, saudi arabia, but since they spend lots of money in western countries they can get away with lots of shit.

Burned the ancient significance, blew up church, Killing innocent people, are these their way of justice and fairness?

obviously some are funding ISIS, ISIS might be merely a hapless tool controlled by some countries.

[Aggressor66]

They are just blowing up churches and killing innocents because they are showing the world how peaceful they are.

It is well known to everyone that who is funding the ISIS and why they are funding it. But ISIS has grown so big, that it is no longer a puppet controlled by its masters in Qatar and KSA. In the near future we will see ISIS turning against those people who are funding it right now.

I'm annoyed by them as well, ISIS deserves its title of more extreme than Al-Qaeda
Also a lot more visibly annoying than AQ

I watched news today and saw something positive for innocent people as ISIS head gave orders to all its member to stop killing innocent people and just target the Army guys...

Please correct me on this if I am wrong...

Well this will be good if all ISIS member obey their leader. Maybe they do this because they know soon they will lose.
ISIS leaders know they will be bring to the International Criminal Court / ICC for their crimes.

Court? I don't think so, they will be probably dead before going to court.

The ISIS leaders will never go to the International Criminal Court. If they are prosecuted for their crimes, then many members of the Qatari and Saudi royal families will also be investigated for their role in the formation of ISIS. The US will never allow that to happen.

[prodigy8]

They kill humans without any remorse. Do you really think they will care about buildings and stuff if they don't even care about humans.

Yes of course because it is impossible they have a lot of money, it is normal that someone is "funding" them (whit weapon, food, etc..). If they will catch I'm sure they will kill them in that instant (as it was happened to Osama bin laden). However I still don't understand why they have destroyed that church, it is really no sense. They aren't Muslims, because if Islam is that thing why the other billion of Muslims aren't like ISIS?
