“We were told yesterday that ISIL stormed the university complex which houses nine faculties and destroyed the contents of five of them under the pretext that they are not needed and that they violate sharia.” As the caliph Umar is supposed to have said when ordering the library of Alexandria to be burned: “If the books agree with the Qur’an, they are superfluous. If they disagree with it, they are heretical.”
“ISIL storms Mosul University,” Al-Shorfa, August 1, 2014 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
The “Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant” (ISIL) stormed Mosul University and destroyed the contents of the faculties of law, arts, management, economy and education, the university said Thursday (July 31st).
“We were told yesterday that ISIL stormed the university complex which houses nine faculties and destroyed the contents of five of them under the pretext that they are not needed and that they violate sharia,” Mosul University media office director Hassan Bardan told Al-Shorfa.
“ISIL only spared the faculties of engineering, medicine, dentistry and veterinary medicine,” he said.
“ISIL hung a sign on the university gate reading that males are to be separated from females,” Bardan added.

Apparently they now control a major dam near Mosul too. Watch this space…
John C. Barile says
Yes. And IS took oil wells and three towns; one of which, Sinjar, is swollen to 200,000 souls, who have only a very tenuous path of escape to the mountains. The Yazidis there are among those marked for extermination.
John C. Barile says
If True Islam inculcates soulless automatons for Islam and its Supreme Despot, then it is truly satanic, vile, and execrable.

… destroyed the contents of the faculties of law, arts, management, economy and education…
Now wait a minute here, I can understand that they’d have a law school, that would be to teach the Sharia, but why would a Moslem university have departments of art, management, economy and education? The Holey Ko-Ran is down on art, Moslems can’t manage their way out of a paper bag, they make money only if they lucked into have a nearby tourist attraction or oil patch, and their idea of education is Boko Haram.
Say, maybe the ISIL Caliphate should have an education outreach to the dudes taking over Nigeria. If nothing else they’d get a shot at those 300 kidnapped pubescent girls (without have to go to Jannat to get it).

Oh, the irony!!!

Ah, yes–another milestone reached in the inexorable Advance of Islamic Learning and of piety.
Richie says
Just wait, colleges and universities in the west will remove all library books that offend Muslims- in some places its already happened.
jewdog says
IS is now getting oil revenue to sustain their efforts. This means that they cannot be ignored as they can now finance themselves into a real state with a budget. The only good aspect I can see to here is that it does dilute Iranian power in Iraq.
Richie says
Is Obama funding them? He is clearly supportive of the Jihadists

Good. If they won’t breed they’ll be extinct in a few decades.
Oliver says
A question-possibly a bit off the topic, but, in my view, kind of relevant to ISIS or ia it ISIL or just IS?
Anyhow, when the US (miliary) was in Iraq, it seemed that everyone had weapons-and access to bombs and b0mb making materials.
What happened?
or did the men (?) all lose their testicles and become puppets and frightened rabbits?
They seemed willing to kill other Muslims ( may that increase) and Americans, British and otehrs who tried to help them ( the fools), and now-helpless?
Can someone explain? What happened to their refles, grende launchers; mortars; etc?
