ISIS Destroys 1,400 Year Old Monastery in Iraq

Posted by Aleister January 21, 2016 at 10:00am

 

Fifteen years ago when the Taliban controlled Afghanistan, they destroyed ancient Buddhist statues. Today, ISIS is following their lead in other parts of the region, most recently by destroying a Christian monastery in Iraq.

 

Jonah Bennett reports at The Daily Caller:

 

ISIS Just Bulldozed The Oldest Christian Monastery In Iraq

The Islamic State just bulldozed St. Elijah’s Monastery, the oldest Christian monastery in Iraq, which has survived every other assault for 1,400 years until now.

 

ISIS took out the location with bulldozers, sledgehammers and perhaps even explosives. Scissors-32x32.png
