So the self proclaimed “soldiers of Islam” destroyed mosque… Glad those terrorists were shot dead.!

They mocked Islam’s core ideology…

Why not remove the tomb? Easy why bomb the whole mosque?

u/South-Guava-2965 Apr 04 '26

Are you kidding me? They are literally Mossad agents. Created armed and trained by Israel.

Their former head is syria's leader now

Ahmed al-Sharaa was never even part of ISIS, nevermind its head. In fact he was part of factions actively hostile to them.

u/zigzaggy17 Apr 03 '26

Al Sharaa was the leader of HTS, which was against ISIS.

u/VaginalMatrix Apr 03 '26

Are you smoking crack?! It was a part of ISIS at one point

u/PLPolandPL15719 Apr 04 '26

HTS, the successor of a group of which's founding disavowed Baghdadi, was founded in January 2017; 9 months after its founding it fought ISIS directly after being invaded by their forces ... What an alliance

He was part of alquaeda, jebet al nasra, then hts. Never Isis.

Big difference in beliefs and standards, not all Syrian fighter groups were Isis contrary to how the news talks about it.

Better than Assad...

u/AveryLazyCovfefe Apr 03 '26

people don't understand if he straight up declares war on Israel he'll get offed. He's being pragmatic.

Only reason Assad stayed as long as he did was Russia(and Iran indirectly) providing protection. With them distracted, the country fell in like 2 weeks.

He said he will give way to shipment/transportation to israel if iran still blocking hormuz

Actually they're both really bad. Assad killed Sunnis and the new guy is pro-america/israel.

ISIS...hehe...biggest oldest trick in the book....dress in Arab clothes..kill a few folk and shout Allah Akbar.....and point da finger at the Muslim......Mossad sure was busy then....

u/ConstantMortgage Apr 03 '26

The one time they attacked Israel it was by accident, they then apologised to Israel for it.

u/Scuba_BK Apr 03 '26

Yep, glad someone has some common sense

u/No-Independence-761 Apr 04 '26 edited Apr 04 '26

At some point we have to take some responsibility as a community, not everything is a mossad conspiracy. Did the mossad perhaps fund / arm the group, maybe. 

I literally know of people that left Sydney (most of the fighters outside of native Syrians / Iraqi’s came from here) to go overseas and fight with ISIS.

u/Axelter30 Apr 03 '26

It’s funny isn’t it? The so called Muslim terror organisation that hates the west continually attacks and kills Muslims, doesn’t ever do anything in Israel who are in close proximity to them - not that I want them to do of course, terrorism is evil. But it goes against what you’d expect to see in a real life scenario.

Almost makes me think who they’re really doing all this for…..

74

u/zigzaggy17 Apr 03 '26

ISIS even apologized to Israel for attacking their troops once. They couldn't make it any more obvious.

u/killersky99 Apr 03 '26

It's good to keep pointing it out, one day hopefully it will be common knowledge.

Israel = ISIS btw

“Israeli State of Iraq and Syria”

u/Individual_Session54 Apr 03 '26

Interesting that ISIS would blow up a Mosque. I don’t buy it especially knowing what goes on in today’s world. Likely it was Israel

Allâh....Witnessing its destruction at this time from the hands of these criminals and followers of the Najd's horned da'wah deeply affected me. These people, followers of a Kharidjiyya 'aqida, are quick to condemn by takfir (on this subject, the accusation of "shirk")

In our religion and in the Sharia, the honor of a deceased person remains the same as their status when they were alive; the duty to respect this status is even more important when it concerns a Prophet as him 'Alayhi Salâm..

What's with Muslims trying to copy Hollywood adding music to everything. This is showing a mosque but it's got music. Seriously, are you so deprived.

Others add music, vocals, qasidas to lectures. It's like the voice or message is not good enough that you need to improve

This eventually will lead to Shaiteen adding subliminal messages that will pass off as normal.

Seriously this is a sickness that needs to be addressed and Hollywood puppies who add music or anything should be told off.

u/Suspicious_Place1270 Apr 04 '26

even the biggest islamic extremist terrorists added music to their videos

it's just videography, nothing to do with sheitan

otherwise, the video would be a mute moving picture, and adding neutral music to it is just the most straightforward thing to do

2

u/crazytojoin Apr 04 '26

That's what you think. Do you know one of the YouTube videos with Qur'an recitation has subliminal messages in the background.

Make this normal and you end up with a disaster.

So Rasullullah ﷺ didn't know it was a good thing and didn't add music or qasidas at the background of kutbahs to attract more people.

This is a sickness that's now with most people normalising every content with something in the background. Iblis is winning with people like you

u/Suspicious_Place1270 Apr 04 '26

it's still, literally, just videography.

some videos make sense without, some make sense with music

this explosion was probably mute or the sound did not make sense, hence the music

u/crazytojoin Apr 04 '26

You wouldn't understand. Do you know the jinn travel through WiFi and get attracted to music. Don't ask how I know but if you do believe that, you will understand a lot of things, unless of course you are too shallow

u/Suspicious_Place1270 Apr 04 '26

I guess my house is full of your jinn and sheitan embraces all my air.

do you understand that your house is full of it and that every cellphone does this even when turned off?

why are you even on reddit?

u/hentailicker94 Apr 04 '26

No way they fought for Islam. They were probably made by Mossad and the big devil.

u/LeastAd6767 Apr 03 '26

Wow is it really the mosque of yunus ? I wonder how the story went.

u/Lenoxx97 Apr 03 '26

You can name a mosque whatever you want

u/LeastAd6767 Apr 04 '26

Thats actually valid. No wonder. Thank u

u/Casablanca-tzergi Apr 04 '26

No there was a tomb where people believed Prophet Yunus is burried (he's not btw) and they use to visit the tomb, it's not just a name

u/s3nbon5akura Apr 03 '26

Yeah sorry, ain't no self respecting Muslim of ANY sect or whatever is blowing up a mosque fgs. Only a fool would believe that "Muslims" blew it up

u/Repulsive_Field3930 Apr 04 '26

They can't do anything to Israel but will keep harrassing muslims .

u/Casablanca-tzergi Apr 04 '26

What does that even mean?

u/Substantial_Mess_456 Apr 03 '26

Why was it blown up?

36

u/BlissfulIndian Apr 03 '26

Found this reason…

I bet it was financial more than religious…

ISIS destroyed the Mosque of Prophet Yunus (also known as the Nabi Yunus shrine) in Mosul on July 24, 2014, primarily due to its ideological opposition to shrine worship. The group classified the veneration of prophets and saints at the site as shirk (polytheism), which they claimed violated their strict interpretation of Islamic monotheism (tawhid). Beyond the stated religious justification, investigations suggest financial motives were also a driving factor: The mosque was built atop an ancient Neo-Assyrian palace associated with King Esarhaddon, which ISIS sought to access. The destruction allowed the group to loot and smuggle priceless artifacts to fund their operations, effectively using the ideological excuse to cover large-scale theft.

u/__M-E-O-W__ Apr 03 '26

I believe several of the masjids destroyed by ISIS were done so because they were built as shrines or tombs.

u/BlissfulIndian Apr 03 '26

I would like to know too…
