As Assyrian Christians were celebrating Easter Sunday, militants from the Islamic State blew up the 80-year-old church of the Virgin Mary in Tal Nasri village in the western countryside of Hasaka province, in northeastern Syria.

Since last February, Tal Nasri has been under the control of the jihadist group led by self-proclaimed Caliph al-Baghdadi. Fighters of Kurdish militias along with Christians who have taken up arms have been struggling for some time trying to regain control of the village.

According to reports, ISIS jihadists booby-trapped the church with explosives before detonating it.[/QUOTE]

The more I read about them, the bigger the bomb gets that I want dropped on them.

Bastards.

These guys would probably level Mecca if they had the chance. There's no purpose in doing this other than knowing that you are destroying priceless relics of the past.
