From Instagram: “Al-Askari Mosque on a warm spring day. The mosque, in the Iraqi city of #Samarra is one of the holiest places for #Shia Muslims, who believe the 10th & 11th Imams are buried here. Many feared the mosque would be targeted by the Islamic State group which attacked the city last June. Now the mosque and surrounding area is packed with Shia militiamen. #Iraq #Islam #war #military #SeeWhatISee #TravelWithMe” by vmsalama
