ISIS recently posted a video showing the taking sledgehammers to priceless artifacts. Mosul Museum was reportedly broken into and priceless archaeological objects were destroyed. They also were trying to destroy the ancient city of Nineveh, especially the Nergal Gate. Nimrud was reported being bulldozed. Theses are ancient archaeological artifacts. They also completely destroyed Jonah's Tomb, along with a tooth from the whale that swallowed him. ISIS is reportedly doing this to hurt Christians.
I think ISIS is doing what ever they want with no retaliation. They will continue to do so until someone steps up and stops them.
What do you think should be done to stop ISIS from destroying more antiquities? What country do you think will step up and stop ISIS?

Your story is good but you didn't reply to anyone.
Why would they destroy these antiquities if they could sell them for more money than their worth.
They are destroying priceless artifacts that mean countless things to all religions. If ISIS continues they can destroy the whole history we know with the artifacts. If we don't put more airstrikes and ground troops and stop ISIS now. If we don't they will destroy us first. If we lose our history we lose who and where we are. If people don't step up history will be changed
I think that either the United States or another Muslim country will step up. It is hard to say how we can stop them considering that we have no idea where they will strike next, but they definitely need to be stopped.
Well the scary thing to me is that there are stories coming out everyday of people trying to join the group. The bigger they get, and the more spread out they are makes them stronger. America and it's allies probably, but who knows. I don't think anyone really knows how big they are, and to me that's little scary. I think they keep doing things like this, and the other videos to make people mad, and to scare people.
I think that we should hunt them down and take them out... I think someone that we wouldn't expect to do that...
I think we should just take them out. We need to find out where they are hiding out then we need to blow them away. This will show them that we mean business and they need to stop. I don't think just one country will step up. I think that a lot should.
