I'm speechless, is everyone else?

ok lets bulldoze the pyramids then jno, what a *** eyed view you have. It's sheer vandalism of ancient artifacts even you can see than surely!

[douglas9401]

Bit blustery tonight, innit.

Lots and lots of bluster.

I suggest that the fact that these monuments were built to celebrate Islamic lives illustrates yet again how narrow it this evil sect's agenda.

[Broseph]

They're a psychotic cult of murderers. If human heads have no value then neither will dust gathering stones.

don't be silly, TTT, some buildings are worth saving and some aren't. It'd be a shame to lose the British Museum, but Ronan Point was no loss at all. The pyramids would obviously be a loss (not that I actually see Isis managing to knock them down). But a tomb you never heard of containing someone you never heard of? I'm sure they were of cultural value to the Muslims who built them. They were not to me, and I bet they weren't to you either.

^ on that basis why are you bothered about the people they kill then? The ones you didn't know I mean. I'm sure they were no personal loss.

never send to know for whom the bell tolls;
It tolls for thee.

So who gets to decide?

The word "narrow" comes to mind.

// Did you even know about them before they were destroyed? //

o god only in AB - why s study Archeology when Palmyra has nothing to say about Anglo-saxons or who ever they were then - hanging in the trees in Good Old Blighty ? Why study Egyptology when the Queen of Sheba never visited London ? [ although she DID travel a lot ]

I am shocked that even supposedely educated people can come out with this sort of thing - even on AB

Now British going out and making human barbecues of themselves and their children on the Dawlah front in Syria ? Yeah not interested in that even tho it is occurring in real time ( synchronic as archeologists say ) as really it is not related to Christian society here in the UK ......


Jennifer Saunders starred in a good prog on the last Queen of Palmyra ( same place geddit ? ) and THAT has something to do with Britain as as a young lady she was chatelaine to Pitt the Younger when he was prime minister ( so you see there is a link of sorts )

[Khandro]

^ Quite! and, what about the Alhambra Palace, Granada? that may as well be blown up too because it's only Muslim architecture, but hang on, ---

"The town strictly limits the number of visitors to the Alhambra to 6,600 people each day, with just 300 every half-hour ".

I guess they might disagree.

Morons! Utterly, utterly shameful!!

//The word "narrow" comes to mind. //

Knowing the price of everything and the value of nothing comes to mind.
