Calls to Destroy Egypt’s Great Pyramids Begin

Raymond Ibrahim:

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 Amr bin al-As could not.”

Has the sun finally set for Egypt’s Great Pyramids?

This is a reference to the Muslim Prophet Muhammad’s companion, Amr bin al-As and his Arabian tribesmen, who invaded and conquered Egypt circa 641. Under al-As and subsequent Muslim rule, many Egyptian antiquities were destroyed as relics of infidelity. While most Western academics argue otherwise, according to early Muslim writers, the great Library of Alexandria itself—deemed a repository of pagan knowledge contradicting the Koran—was destroyed under bin al-As’s reign and in compliance with Caliph Omar’s command.

However, while book-burning was an easy activity in the 7th century, destroying the mountain-like pyramids and their guardian Sphinx was not—even if Egypt’s Medieval Mamluk rulers “de-nosed” the latter during target practice (though popular legend naturally attributes it to a Westerner, Napoleon).

Now, however, as Bahrain’s “Sheikh of Sheikhs” observes, and thanks to modern technology, the pyramids can be destroyed. The only question left is whether Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood president is “pious” enough—if he is willing to complete the Islamization process that started under the hands of Egypt’s first Islamic conqueror.

  1. The fact that Muslims, no matter who they are, are even thinking about the destruction of the Pyramids says it all about Islam. Destroy all the worlds treasures that aren’t of Islamic origin, and very few are, and replace them with the symbols of Islamic evil.

    Destroy and kill, that’s all Islam is capable of preaching. Islam, the disease of the earth. Islam, take all and give nothing. When will the world wake up to the festering puss that ouses out of the ulcer that is Islam? When will the world wake up to the evil preachings of the paedophile child rapist Momammed and his evil followers?

  2. no doubt the leftists and musturds will find some way of blaming israel, that is assuming that the msm will even mention it.

  3. In a horrible way I hope they destroy them. Maybe , just maybe people will start to see how muzzies think. When the Buddhas in Aghan., were destroyed people soon forgot. The pyramids are a diferent thing and even the liberals will need to report it. Secondly, if there is any tourism left this will put a nail in that coffin. Muslims the bringers of doom. It’s like a frigging nightmare but for real.

  4. This will not go well with Afrocentrists. Actually, regardless whether Muslims will become enraged or not, nuking Mecca becomes a moral and religious duty. Mecca is the idol of the Muslim. The very fact that Mecca has to be protected or avenged, proves that it is an idol. After all, that is the logic Muslims use when they attack someone else’s religious stuff. The destruction of Mecca proves that the Muslim will burn eternally in hell.

  5. I have been expecting this, and I fear for all of the artifacts in Egypt. The left has attacked the west for bringing Egyptian artifacts to the west, they have been pushing for them to be returned to Egypt. Now it looks like the ones that have the best chance of surviving are the ones in the west.

    All that history and knowledge gone so some fools can feel pious.

  6. perchancetodream said “Are the going to use suicide bombers? They will need a few!”

    I think you just invented the successor to Angry Birds.

  7. This, and the recent burning of the ancient library, and the dismembering of mummies during the revolution, wouldn’t be the first time muslims have done this in Egypt.

    The nose of the Spinx was blasted off by a muslim in the late 14th century. He “was offended” by it’s life like appearance (i.e. that it showed the greatness of the pre islamic civilization) and because the indigenous people were still leaving offerings to it because they associated it with the fecundity of the Nile and with female fertility.

    Oh and these oh so great perservers of ancient greek thought burned the library of Alexandria too.

  8. Don’t forget all of the books they burned when Constantinople fell, there were several religious and private libraries that held thousands of books, all of them were burned by the Turks.

  9. You could destroy Muslim books and say the books destroyed themselves. After all, according to the Muslims, Abraham said the same.

  10. Indeed you could destroy the Kaaba and say it was the will of Allah. Nothing moves without the say so of the moon god.

  11. As regards the actual destruction I think it will be done in secret and kept secret for as long as possible. I am certain it will happen but I am a not sure of the timeline.

  12. Mahdi do not want to damage the Kaaba in anyway they need it for their prophecy of the return of the prophet

  13. Thanks. I heard another sect, the Qarmatians, once did raid the Kaaba, and took it to their home in Bahrain. What is true about that?
