Crazy to think that this building was standing and being used during the same time as the death of Jesus.

I talk a lot of shite on here, but this stuff really pisses me off. What is there to gain from the destruction of historical sites?

Cost:Benefit analysis can yield tough results.
Fixing those ruins up would have been more expensive than maintaining them.
Simple math.
Joshing, those ISIS folks are Neanderthals.

They are offensive monuments and should be taken down.

Good. Let them keep destroying that region. Perhaps the people will stand up to them at some point.

Hope they used suicide bombers to blow it up.

Mitch Landrieu, the city council, and ISIS have at least one thing in common.

I am really surprised that they have not attempted terrorist attacks on Egyptian Monuments, or anything in Rome (Vatican)

So when is every nation on earth going to send military to this area and fine tooth comb it for these pricks

It's about time! Codes have been a thorn in the side for eons at this particular location. Finally they can start building the mixed use pedestrian mall with townhouses, plant some grass, and generally get on with their lives.
And monuments to false gods of the past or present don't need preserving; historical or otherwise. We know they existed because people are ignorant.

Cultural genocide. They are carrying out the commands of Muhammad by destroying idols etc...How else are they going to reform the region into a single, homogenous Muslim caliphate under its control?

But it doesn't stop them from selling antiquities to support their bullshite cause. This one was just too big to sell in any way, so they use it for PR.
