More Islamic destruction of our world culture and history.
ISIS takes a sledgehammer to civilization once again: Activists caught smuggling Palmyra statues to safety are lashed – then forced to destroy priceless antiquities in front of a baying crowd

New photos have emerged of Islamic State destroying a number of historic statues from the ancient archaeological site of Palmyra in Syria. An activist had been attempting to smuggle the statues out of Palmyra only for the statues to be uncovered when he was caught by the militant group. As punishment for his crime, pictures show the activist being publicly flogged after being forced to use a hammer to destroy the statues he had been trying to save from ISIS. The photos provide clear evidence that the barbarous is hell bent on eradicating any trace of Syria and Iraq’s rich heritage.
