Oldest Monastery in Iraq Razed

[Compost]

The plan to wipe out everything that isn't Islamoterrorist approved appears to be going swimmingly.

IRBIL, Iraq (AP) — The oldest Christian monastery in Iraq has been reduced to a field of rubble, yet another victim of the Islamic State's relentless destruction of ancient cultural sites.

For 1,400 years the compound survived assaults by nature and man, standing as a place of worship recently for U.S. troops. In earlier centuries, generations of monks tucked candles in the niches and prayed in the cool chapel. The Greek letters chi and rho, representing the first two letters of Christ's name, were carved near the entrance.

Now satellite photos obtained exclusively by The Associated Press confirm the worst fears of church authorities and preservationists — St. Elijah's Monastery of Mosul has been completely wiped out.

Now, St. Elijah's has joined a growing list of more than 100 demolished religious and historic sites, including mosques, tombs, shrines and churches in Syria and Iraq. The extremists have defaced or ruined ancient monuments in Nineveh, Palmyra and Hatra. Museums and libraries have been looted, books burned, artwork crushed — or trafficked.

The monastery, called Dair Mar Elia, is named for the Assyrian Christian monk — St. Elijah — who built it between 582 and 590 A.C. It was a holy site for Iraqi Christians for centuries, part of the Mideast's Chaldean Catholic community.

Isn't it funny how it lasted so long without the slightest problem until the Americans interfered in the country.
In fact, every historic site destroyed by extremists has always been AFTER the Americans messed about.

Well, now we know, if you go to war in a foreign land, and then you COMPLETELY fuck up the post war period, THIS IS WHAT YOU GET.

Will we make the same mistake again? You bet your fucking ass we'll make the same mistake again, and you can bet it'll be some right wing nut who thinks going around invading people makes everyone feel good. The only problem is, it does make some right wing people feel good, not sure why, it sure as hell doesn't improve their life.
