ISIS reportedly destroyed the oldest Christian monastery in Iraq, or Kurdistan as the case or border may be, in Mosul. The structure was 1400 years old.
The monastery was previously destroyed by Tahmiz Nadir Shah of Persia in 1743. He also executed the monks living there at the time. ISIS at least destroyed an abandoned facility. Yet they apparently have no sense of aesthetic values, are inartistic and rudely annihilate ancient empty buildings that the economically excluded draw comfort from in reflecting upon the fact that the glitzy rich buildings of now will also be dust someday along with the swells in them. Get a life ISIS-leave the world heritage sites alone.
