Depressing destruction of our share cultural heritage

Submitted by D.M. Murdock (United States), Mar 20, 2015 at 16:59

As a longtime scholar of archaeology, I find this heinous behavior to be utterly depressing - and yet another reason to dislike Islam.

These vile fanatics are destroying the entire world's shared cultural heritage, and we surely must stop them. They are completely reprehensible.
