ISIS is destroying history -RT

The destruction of  al-Qubba Husseinya, a Shia Shrine -BBC


My Comment;
The destruction of historic shrines and artifacts may not be the greatest crime that ISIS has committed but it is the one that angers me the most. History belongs to all of us and to destroy it is just evil. Iraq and Syria are one of the most important archaeological areas on the planet and to see such wanton destruction is just depressing. I understand that idolatry is considered a sin in Sunni Islam, and many other religions for that matter, but I'll never understand it.
