31
The terrorists of the Islamic State with the help of heavy machinery destroyed at Mosul the architectural monument “Gates of God”, erected about 2 thousands of years ago, reports Lenta.ru report message of the newspaper The Independent.



“The gate was a structure guarding the entrance to the ancient Assyrian city of Nineveh, which was once the largest city in the world,” explains the newspaper.

According to eyewitnesses, "militants used military equipment to destroy the gate."

One of the newspaper’s sources also reported that “the terrorists DAISH (IG) dismantled part of the walls of Nineveh and sold stone blocks”.

This act of vandalism is not the first in Iraq. At the beginning of last year, the militants posted a video on the network, which depicted the destruction of the mosul museum, in particular, ancient sculptures.

In addition, the terrorists looted the library of Mosul. More than a thousand books were burned. Among them are ancient manuscripts recognized by UNESCO historical rarities. Many historic temples, churches and mosques were also destroyed.

        "dismantled .... and sold the stone blocks." The barbarian is the one who ordered all this. The man clearly had money and understood what he was doing and what value it was for humanity. To crush him with these blocks - some sheikh or "crazy" antique dealer, who will have to "hide" this (only as he will hide whole walls). Surely such a "reckless" has a famous amber room - he admires himself, but cannot show anyone - what kind of illness such people have !? hi

      Why do the Ottomans need these stones?
      The world is full of connoisseurs of this story and for the most part they are located in the richest countries in Europe and America, while usually they do not have a protest that the historical value of entire nations is being destroyed.
      Please note that after the departure of the so-called opposition, everyone is standing at home with no windows. The whole house, but no windows.
      So recently, there was a report on German television on this situation. After the rebels arrived, the city was occupied by special brigades of looters who uproot windows, doors and everything that comes to hand is taken to special markets, where by the way there are a lot of Turkish resellers.
      Why is it that we do not show such reports?

    They destroyed another idol's temple, and they did it right. It is the capital of a state that fought with Israel, not with today's, of course. Then Israel worshiped the true God.

      Hey Uncle, how then to be with all those people who are not worshiping the true God? And how to determine where the true God is and where not? You may have an Orthodox cross on your avatar, but your saying cannot be attributed to the words of the righteous. Hold on and repent.

      God, as I understand it, does not destroy "idols' temples." He simply peacefully brings those who do not believe to his faith. And in general, please give me the classification of the gods. Who is true and who is not. I think you have a mess in your head.

        Although I’m an atheist, you know what I’ll tell you ... if God allows you to kill children, rape women, steal and rob ... where is the heavenly punishment? Many of these killers, rapists and other scumbags calmly and happily live out their days somewhere in Hawaii. Moreover, it does not matter what religion he is. Or instead of teaching children and building schools, sports complexes, institutes and scientific laboratories to raise academics, engineers, designers, astronauts, scientists, athletes, cultural figures and others. Instead, they build chapels all over the world so that a person fights with his forehead on the floor, believes in a higher power, does not think or reason, giving money. As Osho said ... Religion was essentially created so that a person would not be bent. It seems that we live in the 21 century, but it seems like in the Middle Ages. I am not a supporter of V. Lenin, but here he was right when he said that Religion is opium for the people.

    I think with their consent all this is being done, erasing the history of the people, turning into a gray monotonous mass of slaves. As a matter of fact, they, with the hands of cattle and in other countries, are successfully doing this.
