Atlas Shrugs July 10, 2014 Destruction of the Tomb of Jonah In yet another crime against civilization, the Islamic State has taken a sledgehammer (literally) to a cherished religious site. The caliphate on steroids. This is an Islamic pattern sanctioned by fatawa (Islamic religious rulings): to destroy religious icons, statues and artifacts of all other belief systems. This is part of the ummah’s campaign to falsify all other religions. Fatwas written by the holiest of the holiest have called for the destruction of religious symbols that are non-Muslim or not true Islam. The Taliban destroyed giant ancient Buddhas. Last month, a Saudi University student in Japan vandalized and destroyed several ancient Buddhas that were designated as important Japanese cultural symbols. Back in 2006 _an edict was issued _ (http://pamelageller.com/2006/04/free_falling_ba.html/) from Egypt’s highest Islamic jurist, Sheik Ali Gomaa, decreeing any statues is sinful, as is sculpture and those who practice it — going all the way back to Pharaonic temples, Greek and Roman sculptures, and Christian images spanning several centuries,ever since the dawn of history. The “Palestinians” have been_ systematically destroying precious artifacts and historical discoveries_ (http://pamelageller.com/2013/07/message-decoded-3000-year-old-text-sheds-light-on-biblical-history-places-israelites-in-j erusalem-ea.html/) in what Natan Sharansky has called the largest archeological catastrophe in history. This is part of the_ Islamic destruction of the most important artifacts _ (http://pamelageller.com/temple-mount-de) for Christianity and Judaism. Little is said of the _ongoing desecration of Joseph’s tomb _ (http://www.jpost.com/Israel/A-second-desecration-of-Josephs-Tomb) or the Muslim member states’ decision to designate the holy Jewish sites — the Tomb of Rachel and The Cave of the Patriarchs — as mosques and to remove them from Israel’s National Heritage list. And Turkey is desecrating the most exquisite and important church in the world, the Hagia Sophia, by turning it into a mosque. In a_ conversation I had _ (http://pamelageller.com/hanging_on_the_) with Natan Sharansky back in 2006, we discussed the fatwa that has been issued to destroy religious sites. Sharansky said, “For a number of years already, there is the selected destruction of Christian/Jewish artifacts which is of course the center for Jewish/Christian religion. On the temple mount, King Solomon stables up to the crusaders on………..when the Taliban destroyed the Buddhas in Afghanistan all the world was correctly enraged. Here we see the systematic, the biggest maybe in the history of geology/archeology, destruction of the mostimportant artifacts for Christianity and Judaism. And the world knows nothing of this. The crime of the Temple Mount archaeological destruction is a crime against civilization.” The Islamic mandate to destroy and falsify all other religions was on full and horrific display today. The attack is the latest in the ISIS’s violent rampage across Iraq. Earlier this week, a series of images emerged showing the destruction of almost a dozen Shia and Sunni religious shrines in Mosul, Iraq’s second largest city, and the town of Tal Afar, which is also currently under ISIS control. BR NOTE: Why doesn't anyone do something about Muslim destruction of our cultural and religious heritage ? My best guess: The Bushies didn't comprehend there was any such thing because George Jr is a cultural illiterate and all that has value to him is oil. Obama is pro-Muslim and shudders at the thought of offending Muslims. He is also a Biblical illiterate who is uncomprehending about what our religious heritage consists of. Extrapolate these factors to the GOP at large and to the Democratic Party at large, plus the media, but I repeat myself.
