Isis burns thousands of rare books and manuscripts from Mosul's libraries
Extremist Islamic militants took the city in June last year
Isis militants have reportedly ransacked Mosul library, burning over a hundred thousand rare manuscripts and documents spanning centuries of human learning.
It has been reported that approximately 8,000 books were destroyed by the extremist Islamic militants.
However, AL RAI’s chief international correspondent Elijah J. Magnier told The Independent that a Mosul library official believes as many as 112, 709 manuscripts and books, some of which were registered on a UNESCO rarities list, are among those lost.
According to Mosul Public Library’s director Ghanim al-Ta’an the militants, under the banner of the extremist group known as the Islamic State, then demolished the building using explosive devices.
“People tried to prevent the terrorist group elements from burning the library, but failed,” a anonymous local source told IraqiNews.com.
Other reports indicated that individual Isis members later broke into the library, while university students watched in horror, and constructed a huge pyre of scientific and cultural texts.
Among the documents believed lost are a collection of Iraqi newspapers from the beginning of the 20 century, maps, books and collections from the Ottoman period.
A Mosul resident said that a mood of sorrow and anger had overtaken Mosul. "I cry today over our situation," activist and a blogger Rayan al-Hadidi told The Fiscal Times. Today the library's official website was down.
A University of Mosul history professor, speaking on condition of anonymity to Associated Press, said the extremists began destroying the library – established in 1921 and symbolic of the birth of modern Iraq – earlier this month.
He claimed Isis members had inflicted particularly heavy damage to the Sunni Muslim library, the library of the 265-year-old Latin Church and Monastery of the Dominican Fathers and the Mosul Museum Library – which contained manuscripts dating back to 5000BC.
Further reports indicated the militants may have not destroyed all the books, with some Mosul residents telling local news outlets that they had seen trucks with Syrian licence plates loaded with documents, before being driven off in the middle of the night.
A local report, cited by the Associated Press, claims that residents saw approximately 2,000 books – including children’s tales, poetry, philosophy, sports, health, culture and science – loaded onto six pick-up trucks.
In 2003, during the second US invasion, Mosul library was destroyed. Many of the precious volumes disappeared, but the efforts of locals – who saved many precious manuscripts by hiding them in their homes – and the money of wealthy families, who bought back the stolen books, saved the library.
Roughly a million people live in Mosul, in northern Iraq, and it is the biggest city currently held by the Islamic extremists who took it in June last year.
Earlier this week US Central Command claimed an Iraqi and Kurdish force of approximately 20,000 was being prepared to retake the city in May. The Iraqi government has criticised the decision to announce their intentions, claiming US commanders have revealed their hand to Isis.

Sam Harris rips academics who ceaselessly deny that religion can inspire brutal violence
Neuroscientist and public intellectual Sam Harris conducted a wide-ranging interview with journalist Graeme Wood that was supposed to be about the latter’s cover story in this month’s Atlantic, but which turned into an opportunity for Harris to outline what, to his mind, is the psychological state of a jihadist.
Harris began by arguing that it was rational to believe that most believers understand religious texts at a literal level. “There are more or less plausible, more or less straightforward, more or less comprehensive readings of any scripture,” he said.
“And the most plausible, straightforward, and comprehensive readings tend to be the more literalistic, no matter how self-contradictory the text. So, for instance, when it says in the Qur’an (8:12), ‘Smite the necks of the infidels,’ some people may read that metaphorically, but it’s always tempting to read it literally.”
“In fact,” he continued, “a line like that fairly cries out for a literal reading. Of course, some Muslims believe that such violent passages must be read in their historical context. But it seems even more natural to assume that the words of God apply for all time. So it’s no accident that the Islamic State has made a cottage industry of decapitation.”
Because “the Islamic State is giving a very plausible reading of the Qur’an and the hadīth. That’s a terrible problem, because one can’t stand up and say that this behavior is un-Islamic.”
Harris then wondered why so many academics refuse to believe the statements made by jihadists at face value.
“No one doubts the political and economic justifications that people give for their behavior. When someone says, ‘Listen, I murdered my rich neighbor because I knew he kept a pile of money in a safe. I wanted that money, and I didn’t want to leave a witness,’ nobody looks for an ulterior explanation for that behavior,” he said.
“But when someone says, ‘I think infidels and apostates deserve to burn in hell, and I know for a fact that I’ll go to paradise if I die while waging jihad against them,’ many academics refuse to accept this rationale at face value and begin looking for the political or economic reasons that they imagine lie beneath it. So the game is rigged.”
The reason those academics refuse to believe the statements of a believer is that they are too committed to their secular understanding of the world to fully comprehend the power of belief.
But “once you imagine what it would be like to actually believe in paradise, and in martyrdom as the surest way of getting there, it becomes obvious why someone would want to join the Islamic State. If a person truly believes that the Creator of the universe wants him to wage war against the evil of unbelief and that the Islamic State is the very tip of His spear, he has to be insane not to join the cause.”
“I see no reason to think that most jihadis are psychologically abnormal,” Harris said. “The truth is far more depressing: These are mostly normal people — fully capable of love, empathy, altruism, and so forth — who simply believe what they say they believe.”
“The fact that most jihadis are generally rational, even psychologically normal, and merely in the grip of a dangerous belief system is, in my view, the most important point to get across.”
“It is amazing how resolutely people will ignore the evidence of this,” he concluded. “Justin Bieber could convert to Islam tomorrow, spend a full hour on 60 Minutes confessing his hopes for martyrdom and his certainty of paradise, and then join the Islamic State — and Glenn Greenwald would still say his actions had nothing to do with the doctrine of Islam and everything to do with U.S. foreign policy.”

Σε ιερό προσκύνημα οι παντόφλες του Παΐσιου
Σε ιερό προσκήνυμα τέθηκαν οι παντόφλες του γέροντα Παΐσιου με πρωτοβουλίου κύπριου ιερέα, κάνοντας τα μέσα κοινωνικής δικτύωσης να παίρνουν φωτιά αναδημοσιεύοντας την εικόνα με πλήθος αρνητικών σχολίων.
Πρόκειται για ένα ζευγάρι πλαστικές καλοκαιρινές ανδρικές παντόφλες, οι οποίες τοποθετήθηκαν μέσα σε μια ξύλινη θήκη. Στο πάνω μέρος του ξύλινου κουτιού τοποθετήθηκε μια εικόνα του γέροντα Παϊσίου, ο οποίος αγιοποιήθηκε με απόφαση του Οικουμενικού Πατριαρχείου.
«Ήταν λάθος μου που δεν ενημέρωσα πριν την Μητρόπολη» είπε μιλώντας στο orthodoxia.info ο κύπριος κληρικός. Παραδέχθηκε πως υπήρξαν αντιδράσεις και στην Κύπρο, ενώ η Μητρόπολη Λεμεσού στην οποία ανήκει ο ναός που πραγματοποιήθηκε το προσκύνημα κάλεσε τον ιερέα για εξηγήσεις.
Μετά τις αντιδράσεις που προκλήθηκαν οι παντόφλες του γέροντα Παΐσιου αποσύρθηκαν.

Morx έγραψε:Tι ΕΣΣΟ ηταν το κωλοψαρο ;;;
Το 1945 ο Αρσένιος κατατάχτηκε στο στρατό και υπηρέτησε σαν ασυρματιστής κατά τον ελληνικό εμφύλιο. Όσο καιρό δεν ήταν ασυρματιστής, ζητούσε να πολεμά στην πρώτη γραμμή, προκειμένου κάποιοι οικογενειάρχες, να μην βλαφτούν. Το μεγαλύτερο όμως διάστημα της θητείας του το υπηρέτησε με την ειδικότητα του ασυρματιστή. Γι' αυτό και πολλές εκδόσεις αφιερωμένες στη ζωή του Γέροντα τον αναφέρουν ως "Ασυρματιστή του Θεού". Μάλιστα, ο Γέροντας φέροντας ως παράδειγμα την κατά τη στρατιωτική του θητεία αυτή ιδιότητα, απάντησε σε κάποιον που αμφισβητούσε τη χρησιμότητα της μοναχικής ζωής ότι οι μοναχοί είναι "ασυρματιστές του Θεού", εννοώντας την θερμή τους προσευχή και την έγνοια τους για την υπόλοιπη ανθρωπότητα. Απολύθηκε από το στρατό το 1949.
