ISIS insurgents blew up an 80-year-old church in Syria's northeastern province of Hassaka on Easter Sunday, Syrian state news agency SANA said.
SANA, which did not report any casualties, said the militants had planted explosives inside the Church of the Virgin Mary in Tel Nasri, an Assyrian village in an area where Christian and Kurdish militia have been battling the self-proclaimed Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS).
ISIS controls the village, the news agency said on Monday. The militant group, which controls swathes of Syria and Iraq, espouses a fiercely terrorist ideology, deeming many Muslims to be heretics. Its fighters have destroyed Shi'ite and Sufi religious sites and also attacked churches.

, I hope someone will stop their action.yeah its a shame. Those who built them will also be those who r going to destroy them (ISIS). Isis is a bunch of psychopathic, sociopathic terrorists. They won't accept other religions, other culture and other "thinking". The sad truth is that there is NO dipomatic or human solution against those warlords. Only the way of massdestruction and violence can stop ISIS. Thats it. My feeling tells me that 2016 is going to be the year of ISIS fall.. Its just very sad that hundreds of thousands of civilians are going to die with them.
