Wahhabi's come to Syria

A radical Wahhabi group affiliated with al-Qaeda’s Jabhat al-Nusra (Nusra Front) is seen surrounding and then destroying with a bulldozer a historic mausoleum or shrine visited by pilgrims for the prophet Abraham, who supposedly spent some time with his wife Sarah in the town of Ayn al-Arous where the shrine was built. Ayn al-Arous is located south of Tal Abyad in the Raqqa province in northern Syria.

The person filming the scene refers to the shrine as containing heresies and being worshiped besides Allah without specifying who exactly worshiped the edifice.

Let's go to the videotape (Hat Tip: Gateway Pundit). 



I have no idea what this shrine is or whether it had any connection to our forefather, Abraham. The references to it having been worshiped for '40 years under Assad' make me suspect that it has nothing to do with Jews
