Mosques Destroyed Ransacked by Terrorists
In the past thirty months since the unrest began in Syria, many of the country’s mosques have been destroyed and ransacked by Takfiri terrorists.
According to a report by Al-Alam news network, Syria's crisis is exacting another irreparable toll as historic sites and mosques are looted or destroyed in the fighting.
Bonnie Burnham, president and CEO, World Monuments Fund has said that major Syrian sites have been destroyed or damaged in two years.
“In Apamea, a Roman city in the south, heavy looting on the archeological site, around April 2011, and the minaret in Aleppo, burned a few months ago,” he said.
The bad news does not stop there. Because of the war in Syria, a cradle of civilizations whose heritage goes back to the Greeks, the Byzantine Empire and the Ottoman Empire, many prestigious and registered sites are under threat.
In central Syria, Palmyra, an oasis of Roman ruins boasting temples and pillars, is exposed to looters and destruction.
Meanwhile as fighting continues in Syria, terrorists try to create more carnage. In their latest move, armed terrorists blew up a car bomb in a Damascus suburb on Friday, September 27.
Syria has been gripped by deadly unrest since 2011. According to reports, the Western powers and their regional allies -- especially Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey -- are supporting the militants operating inside Syria.
In a recent statement, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees said the number of Syrian refugees, who have fled the country’s 29-month-long conflict, reached two million.
