This brings back memories of the Taliban...

AINA reported, via Religion of Peace:

According to a report from the website www.apsa2011.com, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, also known as ISIS) has destroyed Assyrian statues and artifacts believed to be 3000 years old.
The Assyrian archaeological artifacts were illegally excavated from the Tell Ajaja site.

Looting of Assyrian artifacts was also carried out in Iraq soon after 2003 by Al-Qaeda, which sold the artifacts to finance its operations. The looting occurred at the Baghdad Museum (AINA 2003-04-19) as well as archaeological sites which were left unguarded as a result of the collapse of the government of Saddam Hussein (AINA 2005-02-17).

Helen Thomas Jews should "get the hell out of Palestine" Rant Earns Her a Statue in the Arab American National Museum

Helen Thomas said Jews should "get the hell out of Palestine" and "go home" to Poland and Germany. The rant cost her job as a White House columnist for Hearst Newspapers. Her alleged antisemitism didn't play well with many, but many Arab Americans are unfazed. They are raising money to build her a statue.

ynet reported:

Ahead of her 90th birthday, veteran White House correspondent Helen Thomas, who resigned following her offensive remarks against Israel, may be getting a statue in her honor at the Arab American National Museum in Michigan.


Supporters of the initiative in Dearborn, a suburb of Detroit and the town with the second largest Arab community in the United States, are trying to raise money to have the copper statue constructed and put in the local museum.

Thomas was one of President Obama's favorite correspondents. He sang happy birthday and shared a touching moment with her last year in this video.
