<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ken Dorney, post: 2317194, member: 76086&quot;]This topic is a hard one due to many factors including politics, religion, ignorance, supposition, etc.&nbsp; ISIS is not currently or factually known to have engaged in any kind of looting.&nbsp; However, in the regions they control they collect taxes from anyone and everyone.&nbsp; This includes looters.&nbsp; So, in a peripheral way, they are complicit and an accomplice to looting, but that could certainly be debated by a lawyer, I imagine.&nbsp; I do find it funny though, I have seen the TV interviews with those who claim to be offering antiquities for sale from the region.&nbsp; From what I could see (and from photos on the news sites), they are all fake.&nbsp; Who&#039;s laughing now?&nbsp; All the way to the bank.&nbsp; While the west enrages themselves, scammers are making a tidy profit, likely none of it (or little) going to the terrorists themselves.&nbsp; Let&#039;s facing it.&nbsp; ISIS makes obscene profits on oil.&nbsp; Why bother with antiquities?&nbsp; They dont.&nbsp; They blow them up instead.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
