This doesn't really surprise me: This isn't the first time that non Islamic landmarks of civilization have been destroyed by the Islamic State (IS), the Islamic State of Iraq & Syria (ISIS), and the Free Syrian Army (FSA). It's not the first time I've seen this happened, and I'm sure it will happen again.
