Extremists used sledgehammers and power drills to smash ancient artifacts at a museum in the northern city of Mosul 

The one is holding his sledgehammer correctly. The one on the right seems angry with something.

Militant uses a power tool to destroy a winged-bull Assyrian protective deity at the Ninevah Museum in Mosul, Iraq. The statue dates back to the 9th century B.C.

This guy seems angry with someone. He's taking it out on the wrong thing. He's right in that in Islam it's wrong to depict Gods. He's wrong to assume that this item is a God. It's a well-made piece of display furniture. Old, perhaps, but natural to it's habitat. One wonders why he's looking at it so intensely.

Iraqis look at books on al-Mutanabi Street, home to the city's book market in central Baghdad. Iraq is home to a great many culturally significant books and manuscripts

Why is there so much garbage on the floor. Jesus cleared out the Temple. Why is there so much garbage in the Village?

to Alah.
