ISIS destroys
7th-century church, historical mosque
in Iraq’s Tikrit . . .
The Iraqi city of Tikrit saw ISIS blow up the Green
Church, one of the oldest Christian churches in the Middle East, and the shrine
and historical mosque of Al Arbain, both located in the city center, security
sources said on Thursday.
On Wednesday evening, Islamic State (formerly known
as ISIS) militants bombed the Green Church, built in the 7th century. It
belonged to the Assyrian Church of the East, a part of the Christian tradition,
and was restored in 2000 by the Saddam Hussein regime.
The source told Iraqi News that “the militants of
ISIS bombed the Green Church in the area of the presidential palaces, with
improvised explosive devices that were planted in its surroundings.” The source
added that “the bombing resulted in the destruction of the entire church.”
However, it was not the only religious monument that
suffered on Thursday. In the morning Islamic State elements dynamited the
shrine and historical mosque of Al Arbain – “with a number of improvised
explosive devices.”
The religious site contained the tombs of 40
fighters from the early period of Islam’s expansion. And, although Islamic
State promotes a return to Islamic roots, it believes worshiping graves to be
close to idolatry.
Islamic State militants have blown up several
churches, shrines and mosques that attract thousands of people annually across
the country. In the provinces of Kirkuk and Nineveh they destroyed tombs of the
prophets Jonah, George and Daniel. In Mosul, Iraq's largest Christian town,
ISIS has destroyed or occupied all 45 local Christian institutions. It has also
caused thousands of Christians and religious minorities to flee from their
homes.
The recently reported destruction of the church and
the shrine occurred in spite of US-led air strikes against Islamic State
positions in Syria that started on Tuesday. A series of strikes overnight by
the coalition of five countries killed 14 ISIS militants and five civilians,
the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said on Thursday.
