Muslims destroying the tomb of the prophet Jonah
Muslim devils in Iraq, members of ISIS, destroyed the tomb of the prophet Jonah (called Younas in Arabic). Shoebat.com obtained a video of the destruction:

According to one Mid East report:
On Friday a local Nineveh official, Zuhair al-Chalabi said that there is information that almost certainly confirms that members of the organization of the Islamic state in Iraq and the Levant dug up the grave of the Prophet Younis in the east of Mosul.
Al-Chalabi said in an interview for IraqiNews.com, that “The elements of ISIL controlled the mosque of the Prophet Younis in Mosul since they invaded the city. It is still held by them until now,” pointing out that “elements of ISIL engaged in the process of tampering with the contents of the Mosque.”
Al-Chalabi added that “there is almost certain information stating the fact that the elements of ISIL dug up the grave of the Prophet Younis.”
In just one day, ISIL members committed a series of horrific crimes which illustrate their hostile nature, said Iraqi police in Ninawa spokesman Maj. Ahmed al-Obaidi.
“They torched 11 churches and monasteries out of 35 scattered across the city of Mosul, and hours later destroyed statues of poets, literary and historical figures of which Mosul has long been proud,” he said.
Three Sunni clerics were killed at the hands of ISIL gunmen in different parts of Mosul, he added.
The clerics, named Khattab Hassan, 43, Riyadh al-Wandi, 39, and Abdul Ghafoor Salman, 48, had called on local residents to reject the ISIL and had refused to leave the city, al-Obaidi said.
The gunmen then demolished the historic grave of the prophet Yunus (Jonah) and the shrine of prophet Shayth (Seth), revered by Muslims and Christians alike, which are located inside centuries-old mosques, he said.
Surely these Muslims are devils! They sacked the tomb of the beautiful tomb of the prophet Jonah, the one who God chose to preach to Nineveh. And now in the same area of Nineveh, the devil only wants to take back the people to whom Jonah preached. Let us read from the Scriptures on what the holy Jonah did:
So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the Lord. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days’ journey.
And Jonah began to enter into the city a day’s journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown.
So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.
For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.
And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste any thing: let them not feed, nor drink water:
But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands.
Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?
And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not. (Jonah 3:3-10)
And was it not Christ who declared:
The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here. (Matthew 12:41)
The Muslims are destroying all of the holy sites, everything sacred they hate, because they are of the sons of Belial.
FTR, The great 17th Century Biblical Commentator, Matthew Henry, agrees with you on the identity of the armies of the a/c.
He wrote his commentaries long before the advent of communism, fascism, or the EU.
perhaps.
But the important thing is that it is BELIEVED to be the Tomb of Jonah.
That is enough reason for the mooz to DESTROY it.
Just curious... has it been verified by archeologists to be REALLY the tomb of Jonah?
And Seth... now that’s really pushing it. The man lived BEFORE the flood !!
I guess that's my big issue... the entire nation has NOT fallen away from Him. In fact, a significant number of people are actively doing everything they can to reverse the liberal perversion, and are punished or ridiculed for it daily. Unlike Sodom, there are people willing to stand up against these evil scum, they just have no help from those that were elected to represent their interests.
Time to vaporize the Ka’aba, and the rest of Mecca with it.
There are two other acknowledged sites, one in Israel near Nazareth, one in Judea near Hevron, formerly under Israeli control, now Palestinian. I doubt any of the three can actually verifiec as the burial place.
Exactly.
Christianity has nothing to do with supposed graves and trinkets.
Christianity is about Jesus crucified and risen from the dead.
That’s the problem with associating sites with certain Biblical persons, there will always be people who will claim that their site is authentic.
But then other sites will claim that theirs is...
Take Mary, the mother of Jesus for example. A strong Christian tradition places her tomb in a dimly-lit church at the foot of the Mount of Olives.
The large crypt containing the empty tomb in the Church of the Assumption is all that remains of an early 5th-century church, making it possibly the oldest near-complete religious building in Jerusalem.
A competing claim is made that Mary died and was buried in the city of Ephesus, in present-day Turkey. This claim rests in part on the Gospel account that Christ on his cross entrusted the care of Mary to St John (who later went to Ephesus).
The Ephesians derived it from John’s presence in the city, and Jesus’ instructions to John to take care of Mary after his death.
However, Later, Saints Epiphanius of Salamis, Gregory of Tours, Isidore of Seville, Modest, Sophronius of Jerusalem, German of Constantinople, Andrew of Crete, and John of Damascus talk about the tomb being in Jerusalem, and bear witness that this tradition was accepted by all the Churches of East and West.
