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'd say it's pretty low on the list of fricked up things they've done, actually.

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.

If I had to rank it

5. Raping and selling off 11 year old girls
4. Inspiring worldwide terrorism
3. Lighting a guy on fire
2. running a guy over with a tank

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 ...

Don't forget to add "contribute to the worst refugee crisis the world has seen since WWII" to the list.

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

I had heard the bathrooms weren't properly functioning and the sight-lines inside the Mosque were improperly positioned so that that only 3/4 of the attendees were able to watch a beheading. .

I was in La Sagrada Familia today and I was watching people of different faiths take it all in and pondering the sad reality that Islamists would love to destroy it.

Yep, like when they destroyed the Bamiyan Buddhas, 1372 years old. Peace loving.

Good deal, they wouldn't let me use the women's restroom when I told them that I identify as female.
