SERIAL KILLER LEVI Bellfield has for the first time admitted murdering British teenager Milly Dowler in 2002.
The 13-year-old girl was on her way home from school when she was snatched. Her body was later found in a wooded area. She had been raped and experts were unable to determine the cause of death.
When Bellfield went on trial for the girl’s murder, he was already in prison for the murders of Amelie Delagrange and Marsha McDonnell and for the attempted murder of Kate Sheedy.
Today Surrey Police said Bellfield, who now calls himself Yusuf Rahim, had admitted his responsibility for the abduction, rape and murder of Milly Dowler.
“Despite his conviction, this is the first time Bellfield has made such admissions to police,” they said in a statement.
His confession came during an investigation into whether the serial killer had an accomplice. Police said they arrested a man in his 40s today in relation to allegations of rape and assisting an offender.
Police have thoroughly investigated this claim and as the final part of their inquiries made the arrest today. The man arrested has subsequently been released with no further action as no evidence has been found to support the allegations.
They said the murdered girl’s family have requested that their privacy should be respected “as they continue to grieve for the loss of their beloved daughter Milly in such appalling circumstances”.

Terrible if it really happened. There is so much propaganda from both sides in this war its difficult to know what to believe. I guess its proof of the saying that the first casualty of war is the truth.
oh so you don’t believe that the west uses the media to spread their propaganda ….want proof…..OK..who remembers this lot of bull sh:t https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=LmfVs3WaE9Y
These tribal wars have been going on for centuries, best let them sort it out between themselves.
Islam is a faith that is so unbelievably intolerant to particularly the christian faith that it has no place in western culture other than attempting to destroy us.
Below is just a reminder of their ethos….
According to the Sharia law:
• Theft is punishable by amputation of the right hand (above).
• Criticizing or denying any part of the Quran is punishable by death.
• Criticizing or denying Muhammad is a prophet is punishable by death.
• Criticizing or denying Allah, the moon god of Islam is punishable by death.
• A Muslim who becomes a non-Muslim is punishable by death.
• A non-Muslim who leads a Muslim away from Islam is punishable by death.
• A non-Muslim man who marries a Muslim woman is punishable by death.
• A man can marry an infant girl and consummate the marriage when she is 9 years old.
• Girls’ clitoris should be cut (per Muhammad’s words in Book 41, Kitab Al-Adab, Hadith 5251).
• A woman can have 1 husband, but a man can have up to 4 wives; Muhammad can have more.
• A man can unilaterally divorce his wife but a woman needs her husband’s consent to divorce.
• A man can beat his wife for insubordination.
• Testimonies of four male witnesses are required to prove rape against a woman.
• A woman who has been raped cannot testify in court against her rapist(s).
• A woman’s testimony in court, allowed only in property cases, carries half the weight of a man’s.
• A female heir inherits half of what a male heir inherits.
• A woman cannot drive a car, as it leads to fitnah(upheaval).
• A woman cannot speak alone to a man who is not her husband or relative.
• Meat to be eaten must come from animals that have been sacrificed to Allah – i.e., be Halal.
• Muslims should engage in Taqiyya and lie to non-Muslims to advance Islam.
• The list goes on.
And the Halawa family were out in Egypt carrying placards that said: “WE ARE WITH THE SHARIA”.
“I am delighted that through my role as an MEP that Ibrahim was able to have contact with his family for the first time in months. To see the nineteen-year-old hug his big sister would break your heart.”
Sinn Fein MEP Lynn Boylan, 3 August 2015.
Funny thing is, we’ll be told left right and centre these guys are a perversion of ‘the religion of peace’. Not true. That’s called Taqiya (lying).
It is the vast majority of moderate Muslims who selectively interpret the Koran.
These guys actually follow the Koran to the letter. They are doing exactly what they are told by their barbaric founder, who killed many thousands of people himself. They are in fact devout Muslims. Islam has no place in any civilised western society.
@John Curry Regime change brought about by the police force of the western world ( usa) with the help of the usual suspects has a lot to answer for. Oil and more Oil that’s all that counts ,democracy only counts when it suits the west Egypt being an example. Truth is the first casualty of war as you rightly state.
Coming to a shore near you this summer
I do Agree with women drive ers causing upheaval however, they did get that right.
Middle aged men who think they own the road are oftentimes the worst offenders in my experience, followed people who think it’s perfectly fine to do 65 kph in a Nissan Micra on the motorway.
Séan, christians who follow the bible to the letter are just as mental – fundamentalists of any religion who follow the exact text of any old book are unsuitable for a civilised society.
Christianity may well have been in the past , we in the West have moved on , Islam has not and is need of a Reformation , why we in the West allow so many of these ‘ followers ‘ into our midst is beyond me , if we are not careful in Ireland we will soon have our own ‘ Malmö
Sorry Ross but you are completely and totally wrong to draw any parallel between the message of Christ and that of the ‘prophet’. Doing so is just pure intellectual laziness and buying into the whole ‘all religions are bad thing.’ And are all fundamentalists bad? A fundamental Jainist for example, will watch their step so as that they will not even step on an insect, because to kill any living thing in this true religion of peace is a serious transgressioin.
The problem is not fundamentalism. The problem is Islam.
Message of Christ:
Love your neighbour as yourself
Put away your sword
Turn the other cheek
Versus
Kill the infidel.
Yeah Seán, you forgot about the whole old testament part of christianity didn’t you. you know, the batsh!t crazy part that makes all the same references to slavery, wars, genocide, etc that fundamentalist christians sush as the Westboro baptist church use to justify picketing funerals with hate speech like ‘God hates fags’, etc.. You needn’t focus just on Islam for crazies and crazy books..
I also note your ‘intellectual laziness’ in quoting hateful speech from the Koran when there are also phrases of peace in there such as ;”the taking of one innocent life is like taking all of Mankind… and the saving of one life is like saving all of Mankind” – Qur’an, 5:33.
While I think both books should be redundant in our time, there are quotes of hate and peace in both.. Take your pick for whatever agenda suits you.
The main problem in Syria is Assad – I’ve seen people on here claim him to be some kind of awesome leader who did a great job of keeping Syria secular when he was really doing a great job of all kinds of disgusting torture and murder.
And since 2011 – Assad is responsible for about 4 times as many civilian deaths than isis.
Over the last few days one of the single biggest massacres by the regime was in Douma. I see nothing of that reported here – and all from this guy who has been praised like some amazing secular leader.
As for the rise of isis, and indeed the rise of extremist groups in syria and iraq, the world is complicit in it’s inaction.
If unaware of killing (and worse) in the name of competing versions of Christianity, a brief course in Irish history is required.
B@stards
Islam at it’s best.
Undiluted and sheer evil.
As Islam would be a human invention let’s blame humanity as well , filthy humans!
Took a brave man to do that so brave he wore a mask I bet .
These f*ckers need to be wiped off the face of the earth.
Certainly a better solution than inviting them into Europe needs to be considered.
MrsWoman…I couldn’t agree more❗️
And how exactly are we “inviting” isis into europe?
I doubt he’d have been subjected to the same appalling treatment in ancient Palmyra. Animals.
Animals is not an insult. We are all animals and only certain humans commit atrocities like in this article. Savages, barbarians, psychos, monsters, etc are what they are..
Weaklings, cowards, wannabe men, d*ckless, etc.
Not human these savages
Cowards
A note to the author – this is not Isis ‘harsh version of Islam’. This is Islam as practiced by the prophet himself – who by his own hand, beheaded between 700 and 900 people. Isis are merely following his example.
Moot point. The prophet didn’t “practice Islam” at all. That’s like saying Christ practiced Christianity.
And here we have the Dude again, spreading fear and Islamophobia, ISIS are Islamic extremists, the same as the KKK are Christian extremists
@Neal – What a silly comment you make. Mohammed was setting the example for all Muslims to follow – Just as Christ sets an example for Christians to follow.
not that many decades ago same thing in China…before that.. nazi treatment of academics..
@Larissa – referring to historical facts is not fear mongering Larissa.
Christ also appatently said…first cast out the beam out of thine own eye and then thou shalt see clearly to cast out the mote out out of thy brother’s eye.
@The Dude
So the fairy tales about Mohammed and his winged horse are historic facts? Interesting point of view, I dare say they are as much fact as the world being created on Sunday the 21st of October, 4004 B.C., at exactly 9:00 A.M.
Beheading an 82 year old and stringing him up because he denied their claims that there was a ‘pot of gold’. Must be their proudest moment.
Muslim, Christian, Atheist…there’s no excuse for such violent behaviour!
@Missy – …and for consorting with infidels i.e. non-Muslims.
@Margaret – I’m not clear what point you’re trying to make.
“So the fairy tales about Mohammed and his winged horse are historic facts?”
In certain quarters yes is the answer to that one and don’t dispute that if you want to keep your head.
check the dictionary, no such word as islamophobia
@Chini – note that Larissa wrote that statement about winged horses, in such a way so as to give the impression that I had made that claim – which I never did of course. I merely referred to mohammad’s massacres.
@The Dude
How do you know, these are historical facts? Were you there at the time it happened? Do you take everything that’s written in the bible as historic facts? If not then why do you take the Quran as historic facts?
@Larissa – You sound like the serpent in the story of Adam and Eve “Did God really say…?” 270 million killed by Islam over the centuries. I’m not going to spoon feed you Larissa – do your own reading and research. You’re a grown adult.
@TheDude
How many millions have been killed by Christianity?
The academic murdered was Muslim too.
@Diarmud
Don’t you confuse The Dude with facts, he can only deal with fearmongering
@Larissa – Where does Christian teaching command Christians to murder people Larissa? Please see Merinov’s comments above as you might learn something.
….also Larissa – is telling the truth really fear mongering, in your alternative version if reality?
…wasn’t it Frances Flannery who said that “the truth does not change according to our ability to stomach it”.
…sorry that quote was from Flannery O’Conner b. 1925
dude listen to me and you might learn some thing too about it because both of ye are ill informed. its not as easy as saying muslim bad christen good. because in the bible . A girl raped must be married off to the rapist . A wife is to obey the husband as the husband must obey god . A disobedient child is to be killed . gays should be stoned ( not in the happy circle either ) one who bares false witness should be removed at the root . A few from the bible off the top of my head . but because that shows in the bible I don’t say all bible followers are evil I’m smart enough to understand that there is a difference are you ?
@The Dude
Something to read for you:
http://markhumphrys.com/christianity.killings.html#historical
That is if you’re not too biased to admit that Christianity itself ain’t all as lily white as you’d like to portray it.
@ the dude, Deuteronomy 17 the bible commands all unbelivers be killed. While agree with your points above, the bible is equally as evil. Dont forget , Muslims and Christians whorship the same god.
@Mark – yes Mark I understand the bible perfectly well. What you refer to is descriptive and not prescriptive – and written SPECIFICALLY to the Old Testament Israelites as part of Old Testament law. For example the purpose of someone marrying a girl whom they had seduced in whatever manner, was because in this situation – no other man would have taken her as a wife and she would have been rejected in that culture.
Mark Collins
- You must learn to differentiate between the old testament and the teachings of Christ.
The argument you presented is a common piece of ‘taqqiya’ (lying for Islam) used by Muslims.
@ The Dude The Banu Quraizah sealed their own fate, with their own actions, according to their own Book. Prophet Muhammad had nothing to do with it,other than agreeing to let an ally to the Banu Quraizah arbitrate between them, and to bind himself to that arbiter’s decision. Moreover, no Jewish tribes, Jewish historians, or Jewish scholars record this event. This is shocking because the Jewish people have recorded their history better than perhaps any people in history.
@Shane – it does not. The passage you refer to applies to ‘evil doers’ and only on the testimony of two or three witnesses. Again – this is not prescriptive instruction to New Testament believers. It is descriptive of OT law. Regards.
….also Shane – Muslims do not worship the sane God. If they did both sets of scripture would be in harmony. They worship the moon god, Allah.
…furthermore Shane, chapter 18 goes on to describe the detestable practices such people were engaged in – such as sacrificing their sons or daughters in the fire, sorcery and witchcraft.
@The Dude
Your argument that the Muslims aren’t worshipping the same god is more than ridiculous, Islam, as well as Christianity has its origins in the same middle eastern tribal god as Judaism.
@Larrissa Yet we don’t see the KKK beheading people without be held to account by their own countrymen. Islam is an Absolute sickness.
@Larissa – No Larissa, they do not have the same origins. Please go away and educate yourself – then come back when you have something sensible to say
@Garwig
Yeah, all 1.6 billion Muslims are terrorists, that’s what you are saying
that’s no surprise. the point is you are criticizing a whole religion while ignoring the awful crimes committed in the name of the West by supposed practicing Christians. Actually the more certain soldiers for example profess their Christianity or Judaism for example the More they seem ‘happier’ to annihilate whole communities. US army being the biggest offenders. always sticking their nose is all over the world. who trained the Taliban??? those good old christian US/brit and so on. well we did have to get rid of Communism. the couldnt wait to get rid of Gadaffi/Sadam and much about syria.. and wevin the west stand by and proclaim its not our fault. what we have is BLOWBACK
@Margaret – I am condemning the teaching of Islam which specifically INSTRUCT Muslims to take over and kill all unbelievers (of Islam) unless they convert.
As far as your tirade against US foreign policy – my question to you is this – 1.Was that being done in the name of Christ? and 2. does the new testament command Christians to murder all non Christians? the answer is an emphatic NO.
@Larissa @Garwig
Brigette Gabriel on the peaceful Muslim majority.
http://youtu.be/Ry3NzkAOo3s
what om saying you you is… there are none so blind ss those who will not see. Luke 19:27. ‘but those my enemies which would not that I should reign over them, being hither, and slay them before me’. you really need to do some research.
@The Dude
If your Christians are so fervent believers of the New Testament, then why are you always bringing up the old Testament, when you lobby against LGBT people, for instance, you are nothing but hypocrites, not one Iota better than fanatical Muslims.
that’s the most sensible comment I’ve seen on this thread.
you are joking. Check out how crimes of white supremacists in the US have been dealt with over the years.
The dude is on this site arguing against abortion and same-sex marriage – and for religion to remain in schools. He likes to think that his religion is better – may as well let him believe it…
Yes they are or they support it, Their silence says everything. I will never live under Islamic Law.
@Larissa – I didn’t bring it up dear. It was Shane in a previous comment.
@Tony – Please stop lying. I have no views on religion in schools and have never commented on that.
@Margaret – Your use of the gospel of Luke makes no sense at all. I don’t think you have any idea what it means.
What the füćk are the international community doing about this epidemic of slaughter? This is genocide pure and simple
The international community ripped Syria apart trying to get Asad disposed. Somehow I doubt they’d be worried about the fallout their destabilising action cause. War is good for business.
CIA and its regime change using a proxy force – highly recommended since the deposition of the Shah of Iran.
Western military and intelligence chiefs created ISIS to get rid of Assad who would not consent to a new gas pipeline from Qatar bypassing Russia.
Your rightful disgust at this death and rape cult (ISIS) will be used as justification for direct military intervention and removal of Assad who is actually fighting ISIS who are funded by Saudi Arabian, and supported by Israeli, Turkish and America.
You will not see this reported on the repeater news feed media stations such as RTE, BBC etc. In fact you will be hearing a lot more anti-Assad propaganda.
it’s shocking how people in the West are so ‘disintersted’ in the actions of the US (and their coherts).
@Bondage – there are no angels in this war – Assad included. Please don’t present him as some kind of nice guy because he’s far busier bombing marketplaces than acting against IS.
He’s killed about 4 times more civilians than IS have.
What’s the point of the UN again?
Lol
The UN (Useless Nancyboys) are powerless against the International Society of Liars And Murderers.
The followers of Muhammad will commit atrocity after atrocity, all the time cheered on by the so-called ‘moderate Muslims’, but not publicly so.
These vicious, amoral creatures are pouring into Europe and nothing is being done about it.
In Sweden, the statistics show that 1 in 4 Swedish girls will be raped by a Muslim ‘immigrant’ & this is just the figure for the present, in a country where things are going from bad to worse every day. Swedish girls have taken to dying their blonde hair black & dressing like men, to avoid the Muslim rape gangs.
The civil wars in Europe have begun.
Being pushed hard by our nations greatest son Peter Sutherland without a single vote from the people of Europe he is our “UN special representative for migration”.
@Francie – Swedish is now no longer releasing the statistics of immigrant crime there, for obvious reasons.
…oh and those so called moderate Muslims.
http://youtu.be/APQVkJcZMKI
Irony @ the dude who was on this site expressing his views against marriage equality and abortion availability as well as religion in schools.
The UN has been pretty much completely neutered by Russia and China for the most part on all things Syria. Both countries are making a killing (if you’ll excuse that) in weapons sales.
@Tony – no idea what you’re talking about mate. I’ve little or no views on religion in schools – except the Eco climate religion, which should be done away with.
Filthy, murdering, hypocritical Daesh $cum
There is something very strange going on where the global superpowers are appearing to sit on the sidelines while ISIS manages to continually outdo itself each week with even more heinous acts than the prior week, and entrench themselves more strategically within ‘their’ territories and overseas.
Saddam Hussein was but a fraction of the threat ISIS presents to the actual home turf security of the US, UK, EU and beyond.
Are they waiting for the insane extremism to get to some unimaginable worse level before they can justify doing something?
The present POTUS is not exactly anti- Islamic is he ?
I agree with the angry sentiment here… there’s a whole pile of firepower across the 28 States of Europe lying idle while defenceless people are being slaughtered in the most brutal of ways. The lack of will by the the EU and others to tackle this is very saddening. Even Turkey is concerned about IS coming into her territory now. Allowing IS to become ever more powerful will result in an increasing number of ‘lone wolf’ attacks across Europe followed by ever more severe & organised ones. The problem is most probably related to the fact that Air power alone is no longer sufficient to deal with them and the highly visible deaths of US soldiers in the unnecessary wars in Iraq & Afghanistan has lessened voter support for ‘boots on the ground’ war. So, unless the war is quite literally on our doorstep (or even inside the front door!) Politicians are afraid to act. Is this a case of George Dubya’s ‘crying wolf’ causing us to ignore the real threat?
The global superpowers see ISIS as a strategic asset; none of the oil there is getting exported which keeps oil prices up, no one country in the region can become an independent, functioning and prosperous state because the Islamist version of the Khmer Rouge are in full swing.
I think the West is still hopeful that ISIS will topple Bashar Al-Assad.
@ OneTrueVoice :
German TV shows Turkey helping ISIS
Turkey has been attempting to enter this war for some time now,with US support, but have faced massive resistance from the public. Their prime reason has been stated publicly on many occasions. To bring down the Syrian Government. Now they can reach this objective with full public backing. They expectet ISIS would solve this problem for them, but it’s not happening. Hundreds of lorries daily cross the Turkish border near a US. army base, supplying ISIS with arms and fighters. Two German TV teams have recorded this abnormality. Also Known ISIS leaders crossing the border in both directions devoid of hindrance or control. What they forgot to show were the many lorries daily crossing into Turkey loaded with stolen oil from Iraq and Syria from which ISIS earn an estimated 2 to 3 million Dollars daily. Which banks are washing this money ? HSBC again ?
A German TV news report – with English subtitles, shows that Turkey is sending terrorists into Syria:

@Greg
I think you’ve got the finger in the wound there, no country is willing to commit ground troops as there invariably will quite a high death toll, which in turn would lead to the incursion of these troops being unpopular with the general public, who understandably don’t want their sons and daughters, husband and wifes, killed in some far away country.
Well ……..when they took on Saddam, Taliban and Gaddafi to name a few. the same people were calling them warmongers. So why step in this time to help a people with no appreciation. The west is Weak and will fall through its own liberal PC agenda.
Ah, ok, Garwig, so the West should become as equally sexist, homophobic, racist and misogynistic as ISIS, is that what you want?
Who said that. The west is Weak however and when we feminise all our men and boys who will fight our wars when the wolves come knocking. European birth rates are falling adding to the unsustainability of Europe fighting a war. Now go back to Jeremy Kyle Larrissa
@Garwig
Yeah, right, because women can’t fight
you wouldn’t last two minutes
Haha… Garwig you’re a clown… Big internet tough guy with a crusader avatar….. Back down the pub with you with your dole
I’m always amazed about some of the frankly weird statements made about this conflict….
Assad was a savage before 2011 – some hold him to be some kind of brilliant secular leader but it’s not the truth.
Since the revolution, opposition groups didn’t manage to organise. IS didn’t exist then and there were a lot of groups who weren’t radicalised.
That was the time for the world to move – but Russia & China in particular didn’t support the UN on it and the opportunity to support revolutionaries has dried up because they all became radicalised.
And becoming radicalised is something that should have been expected. Assad dropping barrel bombs on his own citizens was always going to follow with people looking at their options – and the options were limited. There are reports coming out of Syria of people who prefer to live under isis than in an area like Douma which saw about 120 killed over the last few days – by assad – non-military targets with indiscriminate weaponry.
The only innocents in this are the civilians.
@stickymicky. you got it all wrong and im actually the complete opposite and have ACTUAL experience, yet I don’t need to explain myself to Keyboard warriors. when the Jihadi’s come knocking I will enjoy your tears for action before anything happens
Nuke the bxxxxxds
Do you know how nuclear weapons work?
Yes, I’ll help. Big Flash, loads of heat, No more enemy
Do you know what the crusaders actually did?
No more enemy and no more civilians who are effectively occupied by that enemy.
Yep, no more enemy, no more innocent civilians, those captured or held as slaves, no more flora or fauna. Also radioactive fallout for some time and an inhospitable environment for longer. Birth defects and cancers for more innocent people for generations. But as long as you can sleep soundly in your comfy first-world bed, who cares, right?
Collateral Damage. Also if you look at Chernoybl wildlife is Thriving funny enough. Better to crush Islam now. Additionally as a Christian I actually am fully tolerant of, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Atheism and even Jedi’s. As you see they don’t want to convert me or suppress me so we can live in peace together. Islam however is Sick to its core and my children will be taught to never accept it’s teachings. Islam will Drag the world back to the Dark Ages.
First time I see a good use for the Nuclear Bomb
Well if you think that the nuking of tens of thousands of civilians while hitting a savage enemy is a good use then maybe you have to read up on WWII?
Daesh will only be beaten by real soldiers on the ground, real soldiers backed by air support. Men not afraid to use their bayonets and the Gurkha Regiments and Royal Marines and some US branches come to mind first. Little chance of this happening as the UN is dominated by Islamic members plus the leanings of the current President of the USA has wrecked the US forces ability to take part in any ground operations. Other than the UK , the armies of the EU nations are a waste of space as they have shown in recent years.
The French have been battling jihadists in Mali for a long time, hardly a waste of space? Who are the British army fighting?!
@Chini…Mindless ramblings from an imbecile…. Almost every country in the region is involved in battling these animals to some extent.
The problem is that the worlds only superpower is idling around waiting for Syria to fall or seeing if they become a bigger threat to her local interests. Not because Obama is a terrorist…. The mind boggles at some of the crap posted here
And why don’t you join the fight yourself if you’re so concerned
” armies of the EU nations are a waste of space” obviously never read a military history book in their lifetime.
how so, are the EU armies a waste of space as shown where in recent years, are you referring to some peacekeeping incidents, which is totally different to being deployed to war, i think you really don’t know what your talking about in this context
“UN is dominated by Islamic members”
Um… WHAT?! Thanks for this, extremely funny – you should have started with this.
The major issue in the UN doing anything was pretty much down to Russia, China and Iran neutering almost all resolutions.
People on here keep asking what the international community are doing. While I agree something needs to happen we also need to have a serious debate on Ireland’s neutrality. Why should we sit idly by expecting everybody else to sort things out? Should we help with the solution?
Do you really want to draw them on us?
Why should we suffer for because the imperialist ambitions of current and former superpowers?
If they attack us for the very small part we play, such as the presence of peacekeepers and logistical support for the yanks… Then by all means get involved… Otherwise stay clear
These vermin have nothing to do with religion or anything else. This is about money n power.
I am always disgusted at some of the rhetoric on here that lump 1.6bn muslims in with isis – but the reality is, these savages are all about raw interpretation of islam. Ignoring that is a foolhardy exercise.
Who’s doing their PR?
Idiots Sh:t Ignorant Shaitan (ISIS), this is what is ISIS.
These criminal insane muppets need culling!
Nonsense of the highest order…. The West didn’t create IS, the Quran and Hadith have given ample justification for violence and depravity for centuries now….
No God condones murder religion is manipulated by imperfect fallable human beings and usually men
Can’t believe people are still falling for this bull5h1t. Problem. Reaction. Solution. Hook, line and sinker.
So you think you can offer a solution.
Now this I would like to hear…. In fact, I invite it – because anyone who claims to have a real idea of what to do about this is either completely naive or a liar.
Unbelievable carry on ,no better than the nassies did in the last world war
assad is guilty of far more civilian deaths than isis is.
It says it all about the nihilistic and hellish mentality of these Muslim fanatics that not only do they have a lust for murdering Christians and have scant regard even for the human lives of their fellow muslims, but they also have a hatred for their own cultural heritage as evidenced by their wilful and deliberate destruction of it.
The Islamic world needs their own ‘Monuments Men’, but I don’t think they are going to step up to the mark!
have your say
