Islamic militant sect, ISIS, which has been rampaging across the north and west of Iraq since last month, has been demolishing sacred sites such as shrines and mosques around the historic northern city of Mosul in Nineveh province.

Photographs from the area posted online under the banner “Demolishing shrines and idols in the state of Nineveh” depicted mosques being turned into piles of rubble – explosives deployed against Shiite buildings - and bulldozers flattening the shrines.

Western Liberals will find some justification to understand these events and continue dialoguing.

Meanwhile the mere existence of the 700 club and Oral Roberts university wakes them up with night sweats.

Muslims should destroy their own mosques. There are no magical powers in a mosque. Muslims deceive themselves. The Quran has a deceiver in it. Why do people want to obey a deceiver? People need the new covenant of God inside of them written without words on their heart.

John 13:34:A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
