Literally thousands have died, beheadings, forced marriages, brutal rapes, heads on pikes in the city centre, but it’s the destruction of some piles of rock, already in ruin, that’s got you hot and bothered? Mesopotamia remains part of our history whether standing or disappeared. Unlike all the lives lost and families destroyed. I’m not saying it’s not tragic and shameful but maybe check your priorities. ---

I’ve been firmly on the “fuck ISIL/DAESH” camp from day one. Heck I was on the “fuck the Taliban” camp back when they were destroying art and the West did not give a fuck as long as they only killed their own people and destroyed their own stuff. So when it comes to this… > [@pdunderhill](#): > > But please use a VPN. … no, I don’t have to. I know what they’re up to and that it’s no good. Thanks anyway, OP, but maybe you could maintain the focus of your rage on _ **them** _, and not on a bunch of people in a web venue who decline to do what you tell us and applaud you. ---
