President Bashar el-Assad’s regime has on average wrecked or destroyed one Syrian Sunni mosque every 13-to-14 hours since the beginning of the uprising against his rule.

His forces attacked at least 1,451 mosques in the period from March 15, 2011 to June 6, 2013, by the count of one watchdog, the London-based Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR).

Of those, 348 were destroyed completely, the group said. On average, that’s one Sunni mosque less every 2.3 days.

SNHR has videos documenting its figures and says most of the damaged or destroyed mosques are in Rif Dimashq (308), Idlib (237), Homs (217), Aleppo (158), Homs (135) and Damascus (92).

The Syrian Network for Human Rights also accuses the government of targeting Sunni clerics, saying 48 imams have been killed, including 15 who died in regime custody.

The pattern seems evident in Syrians’ postings on social media – YouTube, Twitter and Facebook.

In a 14-week period, from March 15 to June 27 this year, the Washington Bureau of McClatchy

-- America’s third largest newspaper company -- found contemporaneous videos showing 62 mosques attacked, on average one every two days. At least eight of the mosques had been targeted more than once.

The 62 mosques were in Rif Dimashq (18), Deraa (11), Damascus (9), Deir Ezzor (8), Homs (7), Idlib (3) Aleppo (3), Raqqa (2) and Hama (1).
Roy Gutman and Paul Raymond, both McClatchy Foreign Staff, write in part:

A prominent Syrian archaeologist said he judged the group’s figures of damage and destruction “close to reality.” The vast majority of these mosques “were damaged due to regime bombing,” said Dr. Cheikhmous Ali, the head of the Association for the Protection of Syrian Archaeology, who’s based in Strasbourg, France, and has advised the U.N. High Commission for Human Rights.
The U.N. High Commission for Human Rights expressed astonishment at the dimensions of the reported attacks.

“We knew a lot of mosques have been damaged or destroyed, some deliberately and some through reckless positioning of military positions,” spokesman Rupert Colville said. “But, if verified, this is a colossal figure.”

The targets have included some of Syria’s most historic Sunni mosques, among them:

The Umayyad Mosque of Aleppo, a Word Heritage Site
The Omari Mosque in Deraa, the town where the first anti-Assad protests were held
The Khalid ibn al-Walid Mosque in Homs
The Othman bin Affan mosque in Deir Ezzor
The Grand Mosque in Douma, one of the largest in the Damascus suburbs (see before and after pictures here).

Terrorists respect mosque and stop using it as battleground then nobody attack them

You should be talking about those Iranian and Iraqi Terrorists including Hezbullat in Shrine of Zaynab who are hold up. The FSA won't attack it if those terrorists weren't hold up there.

You sound just like israelis

Them and the Zionists are the Opposite sides of the same coin. Actually these people are more blood lust then the Zionist side of the coin.

Legitimate Ruler using Foreign Proxies Like Hezbi , Shabiha , Mahdi Army etc against its people . Fine

Link leads to Arab propaganda blog and uses the source

Washington Bureau of McClatchy -- America’s third largest newspaper company.

Enough said .

Thread is started by the guy who supports terrorist committing suicide bombings inside mosques. funny how he is OK with terrorist committing suicide to kill Namazis. But is offended by syrians defending their Territory and FSA terrorist hiding in mosques and schools?

Pakistan Taliban terrorist favorite place to attack is after Friday prayers or during Friday prayers are part of FSA terrorist.But syrians defending their country from terrorist attack is bad >terrorist in Syria blowing up building and killing civilians is ok.

Saudis bulldozing holy sites in mecca is OK including mosques is OK but Syrian defending their country from terrorist who take refuge in mosques and fire from it is bad really?

Assad came to power when his father made a Military Coup and took over Syria. Fools and Morons are those hiding in "Shrines, Husseinyats and Mattam Houses" who come from Iran and Iraq and then complain why they are being targeted.

Oh my god, you made my day. Well it is true if Assad have so much hater from Syrian peoples but not so much enough to topple him because he as a leader of Syria and Syria as a legitimate Nation had support from majority of Syrian peoples. You can see why Morsi in Egypt can be toppled so easily by military because the majority of Egypt people doesn't like him and want his resignation. Even Soeharto in my country which is backed by military cannot survive from demands of our peoples who want his resignation as a President.

I am sick and tired of takfiri mofckkrs - I love when these bitches cry when they get a 9mm round in the back of the head, the only good takfiri is a dead one.

I disagree with Assad and he does need to go, but lets get the blame straight - it's the takfiri rats that have destroyed Syria, not the Syrian state.

Agreed , Those 160,000+ Rebels are all Chechens, Libyans , Tunasians , Americans , Japanese few from Argentina , Some from Uganda etc . Not a single rebel is Syrian . :yahoo: . Assad should be the president of Indonesia, He and his father have proven one of the most successful leader of the world. I'm aware of your opinion .Don't tell me.
