Calls to Destroy Egypt’s Great Pyramids Begin

According to several reports in the Arabic media, prominent Muslim clerics have begun to call for the demolition of Egypt’s Great Pyramids—or, in the words of Saudi Sheikh Ali bin Said al-Rabi‘i, those “symbols of paganism,” which Egypt’s Salafi party has long planned to cover with wax. Most recently, Bahrain’s “Sheikh of Sunni Sheikhs” and President of National Unity, Abd al-Latif al-Mahmoud, called on Egypt’s new president, Muhammad Morsi, to “destroy the Pyramids and accomplish what the Sahabi Amr bin al-As could not.”

Asking “What is it about Islam that so often turns its adherents against their own patrimony?” Daniel Pipes provides several examples, from Medieval Muslims in India destroying their forefathers’ temples, to contemporary Muslims destroying their non-Islamic heritage in Egypt, Iraq, Israel, Malaysia, and Tunisia.

Currently, in what the International Criminal Court is describing as a possible “war crime,” Islamic fanatics are destroying the ancient heritage of the city of Timbuktu in Mali—all to Islam’s triumphant war cry, “Allahu Akbar!”

What else can we expect from a religion where rape victims can be forced to marry their rapists or be stoned to death for adultery?

Leave history alone FFS!

I agree with them, the pyramids are the most evil thing in the world currently and there is nothing else better we could be doing for people other than destory such perverted and corrupt symbol.

Utter and complete madness. I hope those reported moderate Muslim masses sorts these fellows out quickly.

Your sig, "Properly read, the Bible is the most potent force for atheism ever conceived", is the ultimate goal of the ones responsible for the current translations much like how some muslims misinterpret the Quran.

So for you sir It would be wise to find and read the original translations even if you have to learn hebrew and greek then only can you claim to know anything about the bible.

Having a pyramid is a symbol of paganism, but praying around a meteor that fell from the sky is not?

Go figure.

[TJ99]

Wow, even the ANC isn't this loony. They prefer to just re-name and let entropy do the demolition work for them.

May these and all other idiots who destroy historical artefacts die a painful death and burn in hell.

Christianity? I suppose they tend to ignore those rules these days.

[HeftyCrab]

Yes,thats it. destroy the only things that make your country worth seeing and kill any tourism.

[Techne]

Wow, this looks just as bad as the Marxist-Lennin anti-religious movement that destroyed so many historical artefacts.

Fundamentalists.

[Fudzy]

History comes, history goes. I really hope these guys don't destroy these global monuments but throughout time I wonder how much history has been destroyed in the name of upholding religious superstition?
