Where are the survivors of the massacre at Benghazi? The silence of the Obama Regime on this question is deafening!

How ironic, tonight I saw the very last installment of “The Bible” miniseries and saw the scene when Paul had is encounter with Jesus on the road to Dammacus.

The Jobar synagogue was built atop a cave that, according to tradition, was used by the prophet Elijah to conceal himself from prosecution. The synagogue is said to have been built by Elijah's successor, the prophet Elisha, and repaired during the first century by Eleazar ben Arach. The track record of idol worshipers who messed with Elijah or Elisha is not good. They might want to duck. Not that it will help 'em all that much or anything...

This is as if they were to burn the Church of the Holy Sepulcher—which I would not put past them.

Thank you for the photo. What a loss! Many Christian Churches, in the north of Syria, have also been damaged or destroyed.

If it was a mosque the muzzies would be rioting and burning and killing all over the place.
When did Muzzies stop rioting, burning, and killing all over the place?, never.

Yes, there are strong historical ties between Nazi Germany and radical Islam, with both ideologies promoting virulent antisemitism. Destruction and desecration of Jewish holy sites was a common occurrence in Germany and Nazi-occupied Europe in the late 1930s and early 1940s, and similar atrocious acts against Jewish property have occurred with regularity in the Arab world from then on.
So this story out of Damascus, as sad as it is, should not be considered surprising. And unlike the situation in Nazi Europe, there are few if no Jews remaining in the Arab world for the last half century or more, with the large bulk of the Jewish populations there having long ago immigrated under duress to Israel and elsewhere in the Western world. So the "silver lining" in the Arab world is that, unlike the Nazi era, the Islamists and their fellow antisemites have few opportunities to commit bodily crimes against Jewish people in their midst.

Not to minimize this heinous act....but that is what muslims DO to the monuments and holy places of their enemies.(And, according to them, we Christians and Jews ARE their enemies. They have determined that, not us.)
The Grand Mosque of Damascus is usurping the site of one of the oldest churches in the world. In fact, many believe that John The Baptist is buried there.
The Magnificent Church of Hagia Sophia in Istanbul was usurped by a mosque.
Who can forget the Giant Buddhas that were blown up by the Taliban?
Not To Mention The Cave of Machpela, The Tomb of Rachel, Joseph’s Tomb in Shechem (Totally Destroyed), and the TEMPLE MOUNT.
And we witnessed such a trespass right here at home with the WTC mosque controversy.
It’s what they DO.

Famous photo by Alfred Eisenstaedt at League of Nations.
"His Joseph Goebbels photo at the League of Nations in Geneva, 1933 clearly displays the antagonism of his subject when Goebbels realized Eisenstaedt was Jewish."
