Jihad Watch

Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Islamic State blows up 10th century Assyrian Catholic monastery near Mosul

Mar 13, 2015 10:37 am By Robert Spencer

St Georges Monastery MosulBesides removing supposed temptations to idolatry, Islamic jihadists want to ruin the artifacts of non-Muslim civilizations because doing so testifies to the truth of Islam, as the Qur’an suggests that ruins are a sign of Allah’s punishment of those who rejected his truth:

Many were the Ways of Life that have passed away before you: travel through the earth, and see what was the end of those who rejected Truth. (Qur’an 3:137)

This is one of the foundations of the Islamic idea that pre-Islamic civilizations, and non-Islamic civilizations, are all jahiliyya — the society of unbelievers, which is worthless. Obviously this cuts against the idea of tourism of ancient sites and non-Muslim religious installations such as St. Catherine’s monastery. V. S. Naipaul encountered this attitude in his travels through Muslim countries. For many Muslims, he observed in Among the Believers, “The time before Islam is a time of blackness: that is part of Muslim theology. History has to serve theology.” Naipaul recounted that some Pakistani Muslims, far from valuing the nation’s renowned archaeological site at Mohenjo Daro, saw its ruins as a teaching opportunity for Islam, recommending that Qur’an 3:137 be posted there as a teaching tool.

“Iraq: Isis blows up 10th century Assyrian Catholic monastery near Mosul,” by Gianluca Mezzofiore, International Business Times, March 10, 2015:

The Islamic State (Isis) has blown up a 10th century Chaldean Catholic church north of Mosul and bulldozed a nearby graveyard, according to sources.

Nineveh Yakou , Assyrian Archaeologist and Director of Cultural Heritage and Indigenous Affairs at A Demand for Action, exclusively told IBTimes UK that the Mar Gorgis or George (St George or Markourkas) monastery has been “wiped out” by IS militants.

The building, located on the Ba’werah neighbourhood on a hill north of Mosul on the other side of the Tigris river, was founded by the Assyrian Church of the East on the 10th century but rebuilt as a seminary by the Chaldean Catholic Church in 1846.

“The current monastery was built on an archeological site containing ancient Assyrian ruins. It was an important show of continuity from the Assyrian to our culture,” Yakou said.

“Isis is wiping out the cultural heritage of Iraq. The monastery was classified as cultural heritage. It’s a cultural and ethnic cleansing.”

The report was confirmed by Dureid Hikmat Tobia, adviser for minorities of Ninawah province, in a report on Turkish Anadolou news agency.

The attack on the monastery came after IS militants reportedly bulldozed the 2,000-year-old city of Hatra and the Nimrud archaeological site near Mosul.

Two weeks ago, the jihadist group published a video showing militants destroying artefacts in a Mosul museum and at the Nergal Gate to ancient Nineveh, taking a sledgehammer to artefacts.

The attacks on artefacts and antiquities in Iraq and Syria are carried out in the name of an iconoclastic and strict interpretation of Islamic law. IS draws inspiration from early Islamic history, rejects religious shrines and condemns Iraq’s majority Shi’ite Muslims as heretics.

        We ought to notify every liberal university in the US with a mock claim that Islam’s Dome of the Rock Mosque was the actual target that was just flattened until their whole sycophant faculty shits their pants with full loads of fearful pandering in wishful appeasement to Islam followed by butt kissing displays of indignation.

        When they hear the truth, we can then listen to them helplessly whimper about (“whatever can we possibly do? and let’s no be Islamophbic about this.”) Let the world take notice and watch as they shrivel away into their cocoons of rationalization.

      You’re right. Islam and civilization are mutually exclusive terms.

      Islam’s 14 century history of using a scorched earth policy and genocidal mania to wipe out any and all that might offend its diabolical sensibilities ought compel the civilized to resolve to do whatever it takes to put an end to such evil.

      Whatever it takes……..for to do nothing is suicide.

        You are correct with that statement which has one minor problem, the western leaders, liberals and left wing do gooders (our elite) do not believe that Islam has been violent at all during its 1400 year history. Until they accept that Islam is the reason for muslim violence they won’t and can’t fight it.

          The U.S. Left was bought off by Muslims decades ago and are soaked in blood up to their armpits. The U.S. media even supported Turkey’s invasion of Cypress in 1974!
          Hillary stopped aid flowing to Afghanistan upon taking office as First Lady because they “did not respect human rights”. What a cold she-devil! This, after their brave tribesmen spearheaded the downfall of the USSR and end of the cold war. It opened the door for a decade of warring tribes, murderous retributions, the Taliban, OBL and 9/11.
          Now the Clintons grease their palms with Muslim human rights abusers! How can anyone in the ME trust the good intentions of the Republicans when they will be slaughtered just as soon as a Democrat becomes president?

    These IS demons are mentally ill. They want to create a world of Muslim robots, with themselves in power. But as humans created in God’s image, they have a soul. Pray for their conversion to Jesus Christ, God Incarnate, Saviour and Judge of all mankind. Thank you for taking my message.

          True. we did not beat Hitler by only prayer. It was necessary though, always.
          I love the story I read by the wife of an American pilot stationed in England during WW2 of the British noticing a massive amount of German planes approaching GB and Churchill called the country to prayer. Suddenly the planes turned and headed back…trouble on the Russian front !
          Prayer and action is what it takes and grim-faced determination.

        It surprises me to see prayer invoked here as a weapon or an active force so often. There is no (real) evidence that I know of for it and some against.

        150 years ago Francis Galton, one of the pioneers of statistics, investigated the health of the British royal family and found it to be quite average. This was despite the fact that prayers for their health and well being were said in churches across the land every Sunday. What went wrong?

          Mar 13, 2015 at 2:14 pm

          On an article about a church being destroyed by the islamic beast, it should not surprise one that some say they pray that the muslims will have their hearts turned to the True God and His Son, Jesus Christ and such action will cause them to stop killing and destroying..

          For the person of faith in the True God and His Son, there is no stronger weapon against evil, islam or otherwise. For those who do not have such a faith, prayer may not be understood or appreciated. And, to those without faith, prayer may seem to be ineffective, and *without proof* that it helps.

          However, to the person with faith, Jesus said, *Keep on asking, and you will receive (Matthew 7:&).” We follow that command from our Master, Christ.

        “They think quite clearly. But they are in spiritual delusion.”

        I can attest to your point Fr. Basil. In the early 90’s my family faced a trial and a serious tribulation caused by a individual who was hell bent to take-over my wife’s thrift store business. Encountering face to face and over the phone threats my immediate decision was to arm myself and alert my in-laws for their support. I found out later that this delusional person practiced Satanism, so my arming myself as a deterrent was useless it seemed at the time. So he continued causing great concern. I sought help from the police, but without help….for some reason they didn’t offer any support.

        However, this turbulent scenario quickly made a 180 turnaround one day when I visited my regular barbershop, owned by a lady. As I sat on the chair for my haircut, Sally quickly sensed my unusual disposition, where then she asks if some thing was bothering me. I said “yes” and I then continued sharing our dilemma to her. Continuing our conversation she asks if I carried a gun. I answered yes again.

        At this point….she shared some thoughts that I will never will forget. She said that “God has ways to protect our lives by many means”. Saying this she continued by reaching for her bible. With the bible in her hand she directly goes to Ephesians 6 and points out to verses 10 through 18 mentioning that these passages were called “God’s Suit of Armor” .

        I was reluctant at first….for I didn’t believe that by reading these verses our problems would go away. Reading the content for at least 3 days my trust gained and became receptive to Sally’s offer. Being that I became so immersed in my readings that I consciously erased my thoughts about our concerns. Yes, the culprit that had bothered my family for over a 3 month period became invisible…..dissipating like the morning fog as they say!

        Here’s a case where a gun was not needed to defend ourselves, but our immersion of HIS Word. I certainly believe that we live in an apoch of Spiritual Warfare as pointed out by:

        Ephesians 6:12 For it is not against human enemies that we have to struggle, but against the principalities and the ruling forces who are masters of the darkness in this world, the spirits of evil in the heavens.

        This encounter happened 25 years ago and I find these WORDS are just effective now and perhaps more affirmed about my religious beliefs then before. Not in a radical way of belief, but in a more stoic and thankfull way of life. Ephesians 6:10-18

      ”These IS demons are mentally ill’.

      Mental illness is involuntary, like flu or cancer.

      The IS is not ”mentally ill”, it is **evil**, pure and simple. These creatures have **chosen** to do what they do. No-one *chooses* to suffer from manic depression.

      The notion that violent thugs are “mentlly ill” is totally false. That would be a nice explanation, except that it is false. They are not mentally ill they are Mahomedans.

    @Linde Barrera.
    Yes, Linde, it goes w/o saying that these reprobates need Jesus, but ironically speaking, most of them already know all they want to know about Him. Their imams and ‘educators’ have thoroughly schooled, i.e., BRAINWASHED, them about Jesus (who is actually an aberration of the real Jesus, which they call Issa). When you preach Jesus to them they block out the real truth found in the Bible, by reverting to their indoctrinations about Issa. They are blind leaders of the blind and “no one is so blind as he who WILL NOT see”! To them, Jesus (Issa) is no more and no less than another (lying) prophet of islam! Jesus, the REAL Jesus, said that when they reject you after you preach the Gospel to them, that you are to dust off the soles of your shoes against them, and leave them alone – TO FACE THE WRATH OF GOD’S JUDGMENT!

    Islam is a disease and Muslims are the symptom.

    Questions for Muslims 12-25-14 (Edited 2-12-15)

    “What the horn is to the rhinoceros, what the sting is to the wasp, the Mohammedan faith is to the Arabs of the Sudan-a faculty of offence. All the warlike operations of Mohammedan peoples are characterised by fanatacism” Winston Churchill

    “While Hindus, Sikhs, Christians, Parsees and Jews, along with several million adherents of an animistic religion, all coexisted in relative harmony, one religion that would not accept compromise stood out from the rest: Islam.” Mahatma Gandhi

    About three years ago I ordered some reading material, including Taha’s “Second Message”, and a “study” Koran to find out what this “Islam thing” was all about. When I was sixteen I was chanting nam yo ho renge kyo to a piece of paper, (gahonzen?), having NO idea what I was doing. A few years later, hair down to my ass and a knapsack on my back, I hitchhiked cross country, got saved in Nashville Tenn. and went to live on a Christian farm in Mansfield Ohio. (Not the prison.) My gra’mom called me a “seeker”. As I said, there came a time recently when I wanted to understand this “religion of peace”. It was Humaid’s article on jihad I found in my Summarized Bukhari that decided “things” for me.

    Jihad in the Qur’an and Sunnah by ‘Abdullâh bin Muhammad bin Humaid (I had two links to this article that no longer work. In any case, Google it. It should be easy to find. Also check out the publisher Dar-us-Salam and sinister general manager of “Sound Vision” Abdul Malik Mujahid who personally plugs this article.)

    “we may describe it, (jihad), as a surgeon’s lancet and not a butcher’s knife.” Mahmoud Mohammed Taha (I’m sure there are about 200 million dead people that would disagree with him. And this from the guy who’s been called the Mahatma Ghandi of Islam.)

    Question for Muslims:

    Explain this articles prominence, and significance almost as an “Introduction”, in a book, my Summarized Sahih Al-Bukhari, and tell me….

    ….WHY, out of all the articles, out of all the words of pearly Muslim wisdom the publishers could have put in this, “the most authentic and true among the books of the Prophet”, this article on JIHAD by Humaid, is the one they chose to submit and use almost as an Introduction?

    Also

    If Islam is the “religion of peace”, where in Sheikh Abdullah bin Humaid’s article on jihad can I find the equivalent of “Love Thy Neighbor” and “good will toward men”?

    Compare Humaid’s “jihad” and Emmet Fox’ Sermon on the Mount and tell me which one best represents a spirit of Love and “compassion”

    Also address “jihad” as it’s defined in Reliance of the Traveller and answer the same question. (Chapter O-9.0: Jihad O: “Jihad means to war against non-Muslims, and is etymologically derived from the word mujahada signifying warfare to establish the religion.” And explain why the “greater” jihad is only mentioned once here and never seen again in this “Classic Manual of Islamic Sacred Law”.)

    I’ve posted this many times to many Muslims and have yet to get a single response. Well, I did receive a response from some goofball named “Dr.” Mohsen El-Guindy asking me to read his books. Instead I downloaded a bunch of his articles. Which were pure rants. An Imam, sidestepped it by telling me I had to “study Islam” to gain a greater understanding.

      The Cliff Notes version of Islam 101 is this:

      1. According to the Prophet Muhammad, the Quran represents the exact words of Allah as told to Muhammad by the Angel Gabriel. As such, no man can interpret what Allah has revealed (although at least 20% of the Quran makes no sense to scholars).
      2. Any Muslim failing to believe what is written in the Quran and to comply with its teachings is an apostate-the punishment for which is death. Thus, the allegiance of all Muslims is to Allah and Muhammad’s teachings.
      3. The Quran sanctions violence in order to impose Islam upon all non-Muslims. Such violence is detailed by Muhammad in the Quran, who even boasts therein about beheading hundreds of Jews who had voluntarily surrendered.
      4. Every Muslim’s purpose in life is to work toward a global caliphate in which Islam reigns supreme-again using force where necessary.

      “The truth: Mohammad was a Lying, murderous, thieving, pervert and the Koran is the instruction book to become just like him.”

      “Nations that read more are the nations that are most respected. Like the Western nations where people read…everywhere you go on the bus or whatever you see people reading books.

      Islam cannot reform because to do so requires rejecting Muhammad’s most fundamental claim; that the Qur’an was dictated to him by Allah through the archangel Gabriel. That the Qur’an is Allah’s direct testimony, NOT Muhammad’s.

      Reject Muhammad’s claim, unavoidable to reform and you implicitly declare Muhammad to either be a liar or delusional. In either case, Islam’s theological foundations utterly collapse.

      ‘Moderate’ Muslims are CAFETERIA Muslims, picking and choosing what they will practice and remaining silent because they know that the ‘radicals’ are devout Muslims practicing all of Muhammad’s commands and that is why they are silent.

      Moderate cafeteria Muslims are in willful denial about the precepts of their own ‘religion’ and too cowardly, morally, to act upon it.

      “An appeaser is one who feeds the crocodile hoping it will eat him last. Victory will never be found by taking the line of least resistance.” Winston Churchill

      “What the horn is to the rhinoceros, what the sting is to the wasp, the Mohammedan faith is to the Arabs of the Sudan-a faculty of offence. All the warlike operations of Mohammedan peoples are characterised by fanatacism” Winston Churchill

      “While Hindus, Sikhs, Christians, Parsees and Jews, along with several million adherents of an animistic religion, all coexisted in relative harmony, one religion that would not accept compromise stood out from the rest: Islam.” Mahatma Gandhi

      “we may describe it, (jihad), as a surgeon’s lancet and not a butcher’s knife.” Mahmoud Mohammed Taha (I’m sure there are about 200 million dead people that would disagree with him. And this from the guy who’s been called the Mahatma Ghandi of Islam.)

        If a ‘goy’ (Gentile) hits a Jew he must be killed.” (Sanhedrin 58b)

        * “If a Jew finds an object lost by a ‘goy’ it does not have to be returned.” (Baba Mezia 24a)

        * “If a Jew murders a ‘goy’ there will be no death penalty.” (Sanhedrin 57a)

        * What a Jew steals from a ‘goy’ he may keep.” (Sanhedrin 57a)

        * “Jews may use subterfuges to circumvent a ‘goy.’” (Baba Kamma 113a)

        * “All children of the ‘goyim’ (Gentiles) are animals.” (Yebamoth 98a)

        * “Girls born of the ‘goyim’ are in a state of ‘niddah’ (menstrual uncleanness!) from birth.” (Abodah Zarah 36b)

        “The Jews are called human beings, but the non-Jews are not humans. They are beasts.”
        Talmud: Baba mezia, 114b

        “Even the best of the ‘goyim’ should all be killed.” (Soferim 15)
        “Sexual intercourse between the ‘goyim’ is like intercourse between animals.” (Sanhedrin 74b)

        Sanhedrin 58b. If a heathen (gentile) hits a Jew, the gentile must be killed.

      I dread using this comment feature. I’ve posted two comments here only to see them disappear. This “comment confirmed in email” thing is confusing to me. I thought I finally “got it” but I guess I didn’t.

      This thing still has bugs….what a drag. No autofil for the name and email for one. I’m almost paranoid from other dysfunctional comment features on other web pages. Maybe it WOULD be a good thing if the government took over the Internet and introduced some standards. The whole Internet is like a Frankenstein monster and just as dysfunctional. Half my time is dealing with the crap that is a screwed up web page and its crummy functions. Print functions are a perfect example. Waiting for the page, (read ADS) to load up…is another.

      Every page seems to be designed by people who don’t actually try to use the features they design. Google is another perfect example: I can’t enlarge pages when I respond to messages because half the page is hidden and the thing has no horizontal bar to move the page back and forth. This is typical throughout the web and drives me absolutely NUTS.

    If you want a “supplement” to this video get Slavery, Terrorism and Islam by Peter Hammond. An /\ss Kicker. It utterly destroys Islam.

    Question #4 for Our Muslim Friends: Why does your holy book say the mother of Jesus and the sister of Moses are the same person? (Jacob Prasch-You Tube video) Hammond’s book answers this as well.

    Question #5 for Our Muslim Friends: Why has Islam never been able to deliver on the promise of ummah? The better question would be when he askes why is it that Democracies don’t fight each other yet Muslims slaughter other Muslims? (Jacob Prasch-You Tube video)
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jQARbiVp-g

    The Cliff Notes version of Islam 101 is this:

    1. According to the Prophet Muhammad, the Quran represents the exact words of Allah as told to Muhammad by the Angel Gabriel. As such, no man can interpret what Allah has revealed (although at least 20% of the Quran makes no sense to scholars).
    2. Any Muslim failing to believe what is written in the Quran and to comply with its teachings is an apostate-the punishment for which is death. Thus, the allegiance of all Muslims is to Allah and Muhammad’s teachings.
    3. The Quran sanctions violence in order to impose Islam upon all non-Muslims. Such violence is detailed by Muhammad in the Quran, who even boasts therein about beheading hundreds of Jews who had voluntarily surrendered.
    4. Every Muslim’s purpose in life is to work toward a global caliphate in which Islam reigns supreme-again using force where necessary.

    The 4th Conference of the Academy of Islamic Research: Arab Theologians on Jews and Israel. Sept. 1968 Translated by D.F. Green/David G. Littman (Support Secure Freedom)Front to back; 95 pages of outrageous lies, inversion and vile Jew-Hatred. I’ve read this whole thing. I invite you to find any comparison with Jewish, Christain or Buddhist “Conferences”. See the Declaration of War titled “Resolutions and Recommendations” on page 73.

    Read Andrew Bostom’s The Legacy of Islamic Antisemitism and read from page 51 on the above topic to page 53 the 2003 Putrajaya Islamic Summit and a little beyond to a speech by Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi on the same page. The whole chapter is one horrific example after another of Islamic mass murder and pogroms but go ahead and start with this:

    It’s a shame in 21-st century, mankind is still enslaved by a such a primitive and absurd ideology as the religion. All the religious believes are child-stories but the Islam has it’s very own place there. Such an filthy bloodthirsty cult has to be only noticed as a sad history in the school lessons. The paedophile, murderer imbecile ape called Muhammed should be known only as a liar and lazy rapist. It’s a shame that such a discussions still exist. In same time we are looking in the foundation of the universe, probes are sent to different planets, LHC is revealing the existence of other dimension, universes etc., and in the same time a subhuman creatures are raping, torturing to death and killing in the name of they don’t know what… It’s a shame Humanity, it’s a shame…
