Note to Greece: You can kiss any chance of repatriating the Elgin Marbles good bye for a while....
Salafist Islamics everywhere want humans to convert to their brand of repressive Islam or be treated as Untermenschen. Even those who accept Islam must live under social mores of the Mid-East in the year 700 AD with an anti-science, anti-intellectual mind set and women as lesser to men. The loss of the ancient Pyramids is the least of the Salafist goals.
Their islamic ancestors have lived peacefully with the pyramids for 1300 years without believing them to be an insult to their prophet. This latest generation is 1300 times crazier then all their fore-bearers combined.
And some wonder why it is repeatedly insinuated that Islam is one backward arse culture and religion.... =.=
So what will UNESCO do about the willful destruction of World Historical Sites? Man will Egypt be a poor country.
Tourism also accounts for more than half of Egypt's foreign exchange, from a country that imports over half its food. Halal Egypt may be the next North Korea, but without the "thriving" industrial and agricultural economy.
Probably just a matter of time before they blow those suckers up. Wait till they get control of the army. Islam is scourge on humanity.
Just curious - any military demolition experts - just how hard would it be to serious disrupt the structural integrity of something as huge as a pyramid made entirely out of stone? I’m guessing more than a few cherry bombs or M-80s.
A blight, those wackos are a blight on humanity.
Progress in the Midde East:
Two steps forward, a thousand years back.
But they insist on kissing and worshipping The Black Stone of Mecca.
Go figure...
