ISIS are destroying mosques as well. Yes, Islam views Jonah as a prophet.
I understand the Mosque demolitions, if they are Shi’ite or non-conforming Sunni mosques, but the mausoleum of Jonah I would think transcends sectarianism. It’s just a prophet’s grave.
Not trying to rationalize the actions of madmen, but I am interested in their justification.
Oh, the poop will pelt the propeller if ISIS tries something on Mecca.
Kinda like the Chinese Cultural Revolution where Mao tried to destroy China’s past—even going so far as to try and demolish the Great Wall. Saudi Arabia better watch out—the royals are not so believed that their heads might roll. This Iconoclastic behavior might be good for Islam—they need a reformation. From all of this blood—may come a realization that this destruction and murder isn’t what Allah or Monhammed wanted.
