- Reason
- This monument has been recently demolished by ISIL, but I think we got a decent freely licensed photo before demolition, especially since it cannot be retaken. A bitter irony is that the statue had an inscription "Al-lāt will bless whoever will not shed blood in the sanctuary", symbolizing everything ISIL is not.
