یورو نیوز - گروه جهادی دولت اسلامی موسوم به داعش یک ویدئوی پنج دقیقه ای را منتشر کرده که در آن عاملان این گروه اسلامگرا را در حال تخریب تمام مجسمه های موزه موصل نشان می دهد.

بنابر گزارشها، قدمت برخی از این مجسمه ها به قرن هفتم قبل از میلاد مسیح باز می گردد.

اعضای این گروه رادیکال، این مجسمه ها را نماد بت پرستی می دانند.
این گروه افراطی قبلا نیز بسیاری از مقبره ها و اماکن مقدس اسلامی را نیز تخریب کرده بود.

گزارشهای دیگری نیز از فروش برخی از آثار تاریخی عراق در بازار سیاه توسط این گروه جهادی حکایت دارد.

ISIS destroy artefacts with sledgehammers at Mosul museum

A man shown in the video said the items were being destroyed because they promoted idolatry

The video bore the logo of the ISIS group's media arm and was posted on a Twitter account used by the group.

Yesterday it was revealed how terrorists had blown up the Mosul Public Library, sending 10,000 books and more than 700 rare manuscripts up in flames.

Leading members of Mosul society reportedly tried to stop the fanatics destroying the building, but failed.

The director of the library, Ghanim al-Ta'an, said that the extremists used homemade bombs in the attack, which took place on Sunday.

He told Middle Eastern website Geran: 'ISIS militants bombed the Mosul Public Library. They used improvised explosive devices.'

Presumed destroyed are the Central Library's collection of Iraqi newspapers dating to the early 20th century, maps and books from the Ottoman Empire and book collections contributed by around 100 of Mosul's establishment families.

Isis first invaded the Central Library in January. Residents say the extremists smashed the locks that had protected the biggest repository of learning in the northern Iraq town, and loaded around 2,000 books - including children's stories, poetry, philosophy and tomes on sports, health, culture and science - into six pickup trucks. They left only Islamic texts.

'These books promote infidelity and call for disobeying Allah. So they will be burned,' a bearded militant in traditional Afghani two-piece clothing told residents, according to one man living nearby who spoke to The Associated Press.

The man, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he feared retaliation, said the Islamic State group official made his impromptu address as others stuffed books into empty flour bags.

Since the Islamic State group seized a third of Iraq and neighboring Syria, they have sought to purge society of everything that doesn't conform to their violent interpretation of Islam.

They have already destroyed many archaeological relics, deeming them pagan, and even Islamic sites considered idolatrous. Increasingly books are in the firing line.
