While the world was watching the Academy Awards ceremony, the people of Mosul were watching a different show. They were horrified to see ISIS members burn the Mosul public library. Among the many thousands of books it housed, more than 8,000 rare old books and manuscripts were burned.

ISIS want the people to go back to the stone age. So this is not surprising. They are against literacy, medicine and science. And still there are hundreds of millions of people who support them.

What is funny is that they burn hundreds of books written by scholars, Christians, philosophers or whatever they feel doesn't agree with Islam.

But you burn one Quran and they cry cry cry.

They are only a diversion. They try to attract as many eyes in their direction they can.
Meanwhile Putin can march and rebuild USSR.

As soon as Putin goes out the scene, I will also donate some gasoline to help a few ISIS members meet Allah.

They are getting themselves into much trouble now. Too many crimes commited. If they are against education, then remain uneducated, why hinder the education of other people

As somebody who barely finished school properly I resent that.

This is the kind of thing I see on a regular basis except much less extreme, there are people out there who would rather we all live in ignorance and fear rather than actually discover the truth and the reason they go after books is like with free speech if there is written questioning of somebodies beliefs it makes them weaker.

They always attack historical symbols to prove their supremacy.
Reminds me of the destruction of the Bamiyan Buddha statues by the Taliban.  Cry

True that. Then again knowledge has killed a lot of Gods, and they sure are into their God.
Man, what a waste and crime against humanity.

This has to be stopped. They need to get nuked long with the idiots that blame it all on X race or ideology (like, they act like that because of USA/jews/whatever you hate, otherwise they would all live happily together). How fucking delusional. These barbaric idiots need to be shoot.

They need to be stopped, yes, but its not that easy. They often hide behind others who they force into joining into their crazy cause threathening to kill their family members.
You cant just nuke whole city where 5% of population is backing ISIS, and thats the main reason why its so hard to fight them.
Burning books is just another example of them trying to limit their people of knowlegde, and lure them to their madness.

This is not new, the human race has probably destroyed more of its own history that it has preserved, usually under the direction of a religion.  So much ancient knowledge has been lost over the millennium, so many ancient cultures' traditions and histories wiped away forever.  We, as a race, would be so much further advanced today if this sort of thing never happened.

I think it is more of they hate the west so much that they would join these guys to kill us pigs from the west.  We are pigs.

Pretty pointless exercise, not really sure what they hope to achieve. Suppose burning books is better than beheading people...

Maybe thyey should realize then , that its the whole world they are challenging and not just the beliefs of a few people.

I don't think they'll ever realise it sadly, they're either willfully ignorant or had it brainwashed into them at an early age, it's pretty amazing and sad to see.

Total dominance over the areas in which they are in control.
They are trying to control the thoughts of people. Too dumb to realize that this is impossible.

C'mon man! Everyone knows that the ISIS have nothing to do with Islam.
What if......the ISIS uses Islam as a shield to cover up their terrorism?
