New to this board and want to know the rules? Have a question for atheists? Then you should probably read the FAQ (Updated: 3/19/15). It's not necessary, but don't be surprised if people ignore you if you don't elaborate further on a question already answered here, or the moderator does something you didn't expect.

ISIS destroys 5 thousand year old Assyrian relics
http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=b78_1424954321

This is what ISIS had to say about the destruction of priceless artifacts:

“Oh Muslims, these artifacts that are behind me were idols and gods worshiped by people who lived centuries ago instead of Allah,” a bearded man tells the camera as he stands in front of the pulverized remains of a winged-bull Assyrian protective deity dating back to the 7th century BC.
“The so-called Assyrians and Akkadians and others looked to gods for war, agriculture and rain to whom they offered sacrifices,” he adds, describing groups that had lived in Mesopotamia — what is now Iraq, eastern Syria and southern Turkey — for more than 5,000 years.
“Our Prophet ordered us to remove all these statues as his followers did when they conquered nations,”

Well, they are destroying idols.

As a rapid religion hating atheist, I can appreciate the sentiment.

If they could only believe in one god less..

I also hate religion more than you think, it stops you from free thinking.

But I would not destroy or accept any piece of history to be destroyed. That is just censoring history. An ancient idol is not harming you or anyone in any way, people need to change, and this won't be acomplished through destroying important pieces of history.

Pretty much this.

These pieces of shit are no better then Hitler - destroying history so it doesn't get in the way with their ideology.

Like some radical feminists!

And yet there still are people who claim that civilization is impossible without religion.

I'd say that fuckers like these demonstrate that civilization is completely impossible when it's done by violent religious nuts

Nothing that has been contributed by religion can't be contributed by the lack of religion. Except maybe those statues and shit.

This is why it was better when the Europeans plundered the middle east and put the arttfacts in european museums - once theyre uncovered someone must protect these religious nuts from destroying their own history. Giving back any artifacts has a.ways been a bad idea. They even cut off the nose off the sphinx….

Did these guys read "Fight Club"?

I wanted to breathe smoke. …
I wanted to burn the Louvre. I'd do the Elgin Marbles with a sledgehammer and wipe my ass with the Mona Lisa. This is my world, now.
This is my world, my world, and those ancient people are dead." p.124

Exactly. Europeans are at least responsible.

>The so called Assyrians

Funny, they don't know they are amongst them?
Assyrians belonging to Syriac, Catholic or Orthodox Churches still live in Syria and Iraq, also parts of Turkey and Iran.
Those who converted to Islam are known as Mhallami and not really believed to be part of nation anymore, tho they haven't been culturally Arabic completely.

Arabs destroying history of ancient nations who were in Mesopotamia before they conquered it

They're destroying historical artifacts, not idols. Nobody is worshipping these Assyrian statues.
