“It saddens me that this has happened but it saddens me more than this desecration has caused so much press uproar whilst the murdering, raping an pillaging goes on unabated and Western society has just kind of accepted it as the norm.”
Last time I checked there was no shortage of uproar at any of their execution videos.
“Funny how we as a society sometimes hold historic entities and relics in higher regard than human life. That’s no comment on the OP by the way. Just an observation of the press really.”
We’re allowed to be offended by both though. I think if you were outraged by statues being destroyed, but blase about humans being slaughtered then you need to take a long look at yourself. Just because ISIS do the most despicable things to people, it doesn’t mean we shouldn’t get annoyed when they attempt to destroy history or culture.
Well put jimjam. You are absolutely right.
