ISIS Continues to Destroy Historical Landmarks

In what the United Nations calls a “war crime”, ISIS (the Islamic terrorist group that has taken control over parts of the Middle East) has now destroyed a 2,000-year-old temple in Syria (there are debates on whether or not the temple was destroyed on Sunday or a few months ago). This is one of many shrines that the group has destroyed, due to their beliefs that these historical shrines worship idols over God.

As CNN reports, the news of this destruction comes after the public beheading of an 82-year-old former director of antiquities at a Syrian museum.
