3000 year old wall in Nineveh, Iraq destroyed by Daesh barbarians, including British volunteers
 
"Then on June 10th, 2014, the so-called Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, or ISIS, invaded the Nineveh Plain which is where Qaraqosh is located. Starting with the city of Mosul,ISIS overran one city and town after another giving the Christians of the region three choices: convert to Islam; pay a tribute, a jizya, to ISIS; leave their city, cities like Mosul,with nothing more than the clothes on their back. As this horror spread throughout the Nineveh Plain, by August 6, 2014,Nineveh was empty of Christians, and sadly, for the first time
since the seventh century A.D., no church bells rang for mass on the Nineveh Plain."
Evidence presented before COMMITTEE ON FOREIGN AFFAIRS
US HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, May 13, 2015
 
These rich metaphors drawn from the sky and sea
Rich funereal language, baptism and burial and birth,
Blossom and harvest, Wise women, Witan’s children.
From the lips of children we must learn that clinging
To life is not enough.

Smoke over Mosul. Mosul’s churches where once
The Jacobite heart of Christian belief was celebrated
Amongst the ruins of Nineveh along the same back paths
And alleys that the Jews took to their synagogue
Which had been there since the Prophet Zoroaster
3500 years ago. 

Today Zoroaster’s  sons and daughters
Are buried all around Mosul. These Yezedi dead are a vestige
Of a different way. On them
Those Salafist-devils sought to satiate their sin.

Trace the infected stream back to its source
That nest of vipers
Of Wahhabism. Salafist Saudi Arabia.
Look! You’ll find it there.
These enemies of Voltaire
Contaminate the very air.

"As long as people believe in absurdities
they will continue to commit atrocities."

Voltaire.
