These dramatic aerial images show how ISIS seems hell bent on destroying the last remaining UNESCO treasures in Palmyra after recapturing the city.

Drone footage captured by Russia's military shows how ancient monuments in the Syrian UNESCO World Heritage Site have been reduced to rubble by the terror group.

The black-and-white video dated February 5 shows part of the Roman amphitheatre collapsed and the tetrapylon, a 16-columned structure that marked one end of the ancient city's colonnade, wiped out

ISIS is practicing Islam exactly how Mohammed did and instructed in his book.

This is what the “religion” really looks like.

We need to spread the truth of Islam far and wide and make it as unacceptable as Nazism is today.

The “truth of Islam” is limited to one side of the internet only... and is completely locked out of the main stream media.

It is hard to get the truth out there when there is such a solid anti-truth wall set up in our society.

That is what Islam is about: death and destruction. There is absolutely nothing redeeming about this murderous cult.

As long as Satan is free to roam, liberals will continue to carry the torch of Nazism, Islam, communism, and ever other evil under the sun. They’ll just find new ways to make it appear like something different.

These were our allies

WE supported them militarily because they were going to topple Assad, Clinton-Obama-McCain’s SINGLE policy focus

What a horror show

AND OFFICIAL US POLICY

This is going to be a huge problem for a while. I believe ISIS can be defeated and will be in the near future, unless Turkey attacks the Kurds. But who will help to finance the reconstruction of Syria? Not Russia. Not Iran. Certainly not the Saudis.

The photos demostrate that this is not a religious war
It is a war against culture, even their own !

ISIS destroys ancient monuments to erase history.

Democrats destroy Confederate monuments to destroy history.

Big brave he-men blowing up a historical site for absolutely no reason. About as brave as using women and children as shields.

No, the photos and the historical evidence demonstrates that there is evil incarnate in the world. It is my personal belief that every so often satanic influence is allowed to obtain greater expression via human willingness. What we are seeing in ISIS and generally in the mid-east is the same demonic spirit that was prevalent during WWII, especially in the rape of Nanking. Go back and look at the YouTube videos, if you can stomach it, and there are amazing similarities in the manner in which brutality was expressed upon other human beings. Again, IMO, this is demonic.

That’s why I always say the only good Muslim is a bad Muslim.

Once the Trump-authorized, Mad Dog Mattis-led offensive against ISIS begins in earnest, I expect the terrorists will descend to a frenzy of atrocities as they are being annihilated.

I always thought Palmyra was part of muzzie history - why are they destroying their own past? Is there any logic beyond that of a mad dog?

We beat ISIS—Then we re-build Palmyra to the way it looked in ancient times—make it a resort/museum, a tourist attraction to rival Disneyland!

Palmyra was at its height as part of the Roman Empire.
