Heathen, uncivilized, philistine, bloody, murdering, savage, pagan infidels. Sorry, Obama, but that is exactly what these Islamist terrorists are, and exactly what modern day Christians are not.

ISIS maniacs may disagree with the books, yet one would think they would wish to keep them for historical significance.

The want the world to exist only in the long, dark, now of the Koran.

“Now now the Islamist apologists insist that the muslims didn’t really destroy the library at Alexandria...”

In Obamaspeak, they weren’t REAL muslims, unlike all the muslims who “built the very fabric of our nation”.

Actually, they throw homosexuals off buildings, but I guess Moslem trumps homosexual in the Left’s hierarchy of entitled grievance groups.

“ISIS ‘Those Folks’ Burns 8000 Rare Books and Manuscripts in Mosul”

Hussein uses “folks” in reference to those he hates....

THESE are his BFF’s.

Not to worry. It was just a “random attack”.

So come on down off your “high horse”.

The archives of FR and other opposition sites must be purged. They did not contain enough ‘equal time’ airing of liberal views and ‘facts’. —

Fill a few terabyte drives with random noise. Provide a link to them. Call them the ‘liberal views and facts’.

No one will be able to argue otherwise.

Gotta be quick around here with the witty repartee.

Fortunately (sadly) Obama keeps opening his halal-hole and is giving us such rich material.

They have no appreciation for true history, therefor no interest in books of historical significance.

The more things of historical significance they destroy, the more they are able to replace history with their propaganda.

One could wish... but I think they are as earnest about burning this stuff as they are about bombing the Buddha statues or cutting people’s heads off or burning people to death.
