Egyptian Islamists Target Bikinis, Pyramids
www.investigativeproject.org ^ | Sept 01, 2011 | IPT news

With the Egyptian economy already worsening since the revolution began in January, Muslim Brotherhood operatives are demanding stricter regulations on behavior and dress that could damage the country's tourism industry.

The Freedom and Justice Party (FJP), which functions as the Brotherhood's political wing, wants to ban alcohol consumption on Egyptian streets and ban bikinis on the beach.

"Beach tourism must take the values and norms of our societies into account," FJP Secretary-General Muhammad Saad al-Katatny told Egyptian tourism officials Monday. "We must place regulations on tourists wishing to visit Egypt, which we will announce in advance."

For their part, Egyptian Salafists (who advocate a form of Islamism more extreme than that practiced by the Brotherhood) aren't just troubled by alcohol and bikinis. Abd al-Munim A-Shahhat, a spokesman for the Salafist group Dawa, said that the Egyptian pyramids, the sphinx and other monuments should be covered up with wax because they are "religiously forbidden."

Likening these relics to idols covering the walls of Mecca in pre-Islamic times, A-Shahhat said Wednesday that "The pharaonic culture is a rotten culture."

If the Egyptian Taliban equivalents decide to blow up the Spinx and pyramids and other archaeological treasures, will the Muslim enablers in the West understand the kind of barbarians these people are? Denial ain't a river in Egypt, folks.

***the sphinx and other monuments should be covered up with wax because they are “religiously forbidden.” ***

If I remember my history, the face of the Sphinx was partially destroyed by islamists.

One of the moslem rulers of Egypt also issued a demand that the pyramids be torn down. After a few dozen blocks were removed, they gave up.

These wackos need to do like the monks in the movie THE MAN WHO WOULD BE KING. Walk around with their eyes closed so they will not see “evil”.

Freakin’ lunatics. Will they decide to blow up the pyramids as they did the beautiful statues in Afhanistan?

Just wait. The pyramids lasted 5,000 years, only to be blown up after the DemocRATs nominated an idiot Kenyan Marxist with no qualifications other than the ability to read a teleprompter.

Obama is clearly qualified to make a bad economy worse.

As for the MB and Salafists they're Egypt's version of our own big government conservatives. They can't wait to force their views on the rest of us. For example:

"Beach tourism must take the values and norms of our societies into account..."

Clearly they're not including the "values and norms" of all of Egypt, just imposing their own.

True, we called it first, but I’m hopeful that the generals of Egypt knew it was coming. So far the Islamists seem to be losing power. They gained 75% of parliament only to struggle to win the presidency. If the trend continues perhaps a future election will sweep pro-market, pro-western Muslims into power...
