ISIS bulldozes ancient city and historical monuments in Iraq and Syria

[DESERT FIGHTER]

Every single one of them you talk about are threatened to be destroyed. Gandara? It's already vandalised.

Gandhara vandalised> ? when???

GoP is taking care of "OUR" heritage... yes like most developing countries smuggling is a problem but we are trying our best... and even requesting other countries including india to return our historic artefacts!

From the Afghan side. I didn't mean the Pakistani side.

Ahaha that's an open secret mate. What's evem funnier is that they are some of those people who say that ISIS is a creation of US/Israel/CIA/MOSSADetc. while they thesmselves represent the ISIS ideology. We can't change what they think but what we can do is prevent our parts of world from being infected by their dirty ideology. Unfortunately there is still a section of our society, namely liberals, that buys their crap.

It is not a CIA/MOSSAD creation... but a result of the failed invasion of Iraq etc and the pathetic policies ...

And the same is repeated in Syria with Assad.

no difference between isis and Taliban good or bad....and some fools on this forum say....taliban were not terrorists but mujahideen.

That's why it's a good ideea to ship all the ancient artifacts from muslim countries to European museums.Pity they didn't took the pyramids or the Sfinx piece by piece when there was a window of oportunity last century.In a few years when radicals might take over in Egypt we can say goodbye to them.

Finally we Indians will be able to say we are the cradle of civilization!

WTF man!!! These nutcases need to be stopped.. Someone bomb the shit out of them.

Finally we Indians will be able to say we are the cradle of civilization!

You never know, You might soon get to hear that Ajanta-Ellora sculptures are not Indian as they don't have any resemblance to Bhartiya Sabhyata and so shall be demolished....

You europeans have already stuffed your museums with stolen artifacts, I doubt you have much room left.

Indians have taken many of the Indus seals. They also still possess the "dancing girl". Britain also has the Kohinoor and Ranjit Singhs throne which they took from Lahore.

As it turns out,it was the right thing to do.In fact,more should have been taken to be saved.It isn't the first time islamic nutjobs destroy priceless artifacts ,and i'm feeling it won't be the last time either.

Emm I dont mean to ridicule Islam or equate ISIS to Islam. But I see a similarity here. Most of the muslim invaders when they conquer a piece of land they erase the cultural history of that land by destroying temples palaces other monuments etc and built mosques convert people to Islam through sword or love. An example is Indian subcontinent only many temples and monuments were destroyed and stuff, my question is what is the reason? Does Islam say when spreading religion you should not a leave any trace of their previous practice? I mean even Christianity is an expansionist religion but their level of destruction of ancient sites are not to the level of muslim invaders. Why is that?

Im glad that the most prechious parts are in europe. We have the world famous Ishtar Gate in Berlin. It was once in iraq and only hod knows what would have happened to it. UNO should start mission and bring evrything out there to EU, USA, Japan and also China. Islamic countries are not responsible enough to care for human heritage

Who are you to take Islamic cultural artifacts?

 

[MarkusS]

Who are you to take Islamic cultural artifacts?

This is not islamic cultural artifacts:

This is the babylonian Ishtar gate, which got removed and placed in Berlin now:

This is the world famous bust of Nefertiri who is also in Berlin:

the museum of mesopotamian art in rome has by far the greatest collection:

Italy also has a larger museum for egyptian art that egypt itself. Its located in Turin

Other great collections are in London, Paris, and New York as well as Chicago.

And you know what? Thats not "islamic cultural artifacts". Infact the world has little interest in "islamic artifacts" at all. Those here are world heritage artifacts. Islamic countries can´t protect them and it is our duty for future generations to preserve and save them from the primitives and savages there...

As the UNESCO said, a task force will be installed. The most serious objects would be evacuated in case it is needed.

And if you need some historic conclusion why we intervene and take whatever we cans ave from there. All of this land was once part of our roman empire:

So you can calm down. We only save and take what is important for us. There is zero interest in "islamic artifacts".

Ignoring the racist idiot above. Very predictable move by ISIS not different from what Taliban did in Afghanistan. This is wahabi ideology. Wahabis are also destroying historical sites related to Islam in Mecca.
