History is the greatest witness against Muhammadan Islam. In the mold of Muhammad's followers the Islamic State seeks to erase history, in order to replace it with Islam's historical fantasy alone, and so the Islamic State has destroyed another temple. Imagine what all they would destroy in the Holy Land, if they were given the opportunity. And of course anti-Zionists are eagerly offering them that ultimate opportunity.

"BEIRUT (Reuters) - The hardline Islamic State group has destroyed part of an ancient temple in Syria's Palmyra city, a group monitoring the conflict said on Sunday.

The militants targeted the Temple of Bel, a Roman-era structure in the central desert city, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.

It is the second temple Islamic State has targeted in Palmyra this month. The group detonated explosives in the ancient Baal Shamin temple on Aug. 25, an act that cultural agency UNESCO has called a war crime aimed at wiping out a symbol of Syria's diverse cultural heritage.

The extent of the damage at the Temple of Bel was not known, the Observatory said, citing its contacts on the ground. "

"This month the group beheaded the 82-year-old Syrian archaeologist who had looked after Palmyra's ruins for four decades, and hung his body in public, according to Syria's antiquities chief."
