jihadis have destroyed a 2,000-year-old statue of a lion outside the
museum in the Syrian city of Palmyra, the country’s antiquities director
has said.

Maamoun Abdelkarim said the statue, known as the Lion of al-Lat, was
an irreplaceable piece. “IS members on Saturday destroyed the Lion of
al-Lat, which is a unique piece that is three metres [10ft] tall and
weighs 15 tonnes,” Abdelkarim told AFP. “It’s the most serious crime
they have committed against Palmyra’s heritage.”
Abdelkarim said the statue had been covered with a metal plate and
sandbags to protect it from fighting, “but we never imagined that IS
would come to the town to destroy it.”
Isis captured Palmyra,
a Unesco world heritage site, from government forces on 21 May,
prompting international concern about the fate of the city’s
antiquities.
So far the most famous sites have been left intact, though there have
been reports that Isis has mined them. Most of the pieces in the city’s
museum were evacuated by antiquities staff before Isis arrived. The
group has blown up several historic Muslim graves in recent weeks.
“An IS checkpoint in Wilyat arrested a person transporting several
statues from Palmyra,” the group said in an online statement. “The
guilty party was taken to an Islamic court in the town of Minbej, where
it was decided that the trafficker would be punished and the statues
destroyed.”
The statement included photos showing several carved busts being
destroyed with sledgehammers. Abdelkarim said the busts “appear to be
eight statues stolen from the tombs in Palmyra. The destruction is worse
than the theft because they cannot be recovered.”
Under Isis’s harsh interpretation of Islam, statues and grave markers
are considered to be idolatrous. The group has destroyed countless
antiquities and heritage sites in territory under its control in Syria and Iraq.

The gravity of the existential threat we face from Islamic Jihad is truly of epic proportions. It is essentially a battle pitting free-civilized man against a totalitarian barbarian. What is at stake is the struggle for our very soul - namely who we are and what we represent. The lives that were sacrificed for individual rights and freedoms that we've come to cherish are being chiseled away from right under our noses by the stealth jihadists. And many of us are in denial and totally clueless.
The left's appeasement and pandering to evil is nothing new. What makes their utopian delusions so infuriating and unpardonable is that it is not only they who will have to pay the consequences, and deservedly, so, they are thwarting and undermining our best efforts at resistance and are thus dragging us down in the process as well.
