  • Meanwhile, in Mosul, IS have blown up the Grand al-Nuri Mosque (which dates from 1172) with its famous leaning minaret, during the holiest part of Ramadan:

    More proof that they should probably just be called 'State'...

    The silver lining to the cloud is that Iraqi special forces 50 metres away from the mosque means that the fall of Mosul is imminent, which will be a real blow to the group.

  • I don't follow. I thought they pursued a form of Islam, why are they so into blowing up Mosques?
