quote:

The historic landmark was where the group's leader proclaimed a "caliphate" in 2014.

Earlier on Wednesday, the commander of Iraqi forces told the BBC they were 15m from the mosque, as they pushed ahead with their offensive to retake the jihadists' main stronghold in Iraq.


This must be that the end is getting close for IS in Mosul.

It was constructed in 1172.

This is really no different than the time those Christian extremists destroyed the Vatican.

I don't see how there could even be room for different interpretations... these guys are assholes. Don't even respect their own history/culture.

I'm still heated about what they did in Palmyra. Was a place I wanted to visit, not that I was able to ever seriously plan to.

It's very sad. That's the same mosque where I conducted my first rape/ beheading with my Father and grandfather. So many fond memories ...

As backwards as Islam is, the destruction of a building almost 900 years old is just depressing.
