Al Arabiya: "ISIS burns 1,800-year-old church in Mosul"

"Militants from the radical jihadist group the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria have set fire to a 1,800-year-old church in Iraq’s second largest city of Mosul, a photo released Saturday shows."

"The burning of the church is the latest in a series of destruction of Christian property in Mosul, which was taken by the Islamist rebels last month, along with other swathes of Iraqi territory."

I assume they know enough not to burn a black church. The press would turn against them.

You don't need someone's heart or mind when you've got their ass. And ISIS has a lot of people's asses right now.

ISIS is already planning on going to Mecca and destroy it. They've pretty much said so.

I hope they can't get their hands on a nuke for at least a couple of years - I have relatives in the vicinity.
