History shows iconoclasts have predominantly been Christians - don't have to go far, just ask the Native Americans (one of the most effective genocides in modern history). We've also got book burning, movie/videogame/textbook/science bans, dry counties, sunday laws, etc, etc...By the time ISIS is done the Louvre may be the only place where these artifacts remain.

Jesse Washington was just one black man to die horribly at the hands of white death squads. Between 1882 and 1968 — 1968! — there were 4,743 recorded lynchings in the US. About a quarter of them were white people, many of whom had been killed for sympathizing with black folks. My father, who was born in 1904 near Paris, Texas, kept in a drawer that newspaper photograph from back when he was a boy of thousands of people gathered as if at a picnic to feast on the torture and hanging of a black man in the center of town. On a journey tracing our roots many years later, my father choked and grew silent as we stood near the spot where it had happened.
Yes, it was hard to get back to sleep the night we heard the news of the Jordanian pilot’s horrendous end. ISIS be damned! I thought. But with the next breath I could only think that our own barbarians did not have to wait at any gate. They were insiders. Home grown. Godly. Our neighbors, friends, and kin. People like us.
Troubled past? Who would have guessed?
Stock market is in the basement too.Let's not forget the impending collapse of the dollar.
