Last July, shortly after conquering Mosul in Iraq, where the tomb of Jonah is located, ISIS blew up the tomb amid celebrations by the terror group. Local sources told Al Arabiya that ISIS has begun to level off the area for construction.

A special budget has been allocated by ISIS for the project and “specialized companies” have won bids to begin turning the former tomb area into a park.

Responding to the report, Iraqi Deputy Minister of Antiquities and Tourism Qais Hussain to Al-Sumaria News that ISIS intends to deface the holy site and “turn the burial site into a park and fun city ."

Just another action by peace loving dedicated followers of Islam.
