Guy Bechor reports that Egypt is in the process of destroying all remnants of its ancient, non-Muslim cultures.
It was barely mentioned in the Israeli and global media, but the following event pertains to the whole of Western civilization: Last Saturday, violent groups of Islamic-Salafi radicals burned the famous scientific institute established by Napoleon in Egypt after its first encounter with the West. Some historians consider it the start of modern times in the Middle East.
The site, L’Institut d’Egypte, held some 200,000 original and rare books, exhibits, maps, archeological findings and studies from Egypt and the entire Middle East, based on the work of generations of western researchers. Most of the artifacts were lost forever, burned or looted.

In time every ancient artifact in Egypt will be destroyed by Islamic radicals, including the monuments and pyramids.
These barbarians will do the same thing to every non-Islamic historical artifact throughout the world, wherever they assume power.
It is the nature of Allah to not tolerate competition.
I personally believe that our history is safe, ultimately speaking, where Allah cannot touch it.
One day we’ll have access to it again and see our real history.
We have very strategically aided the Muslims in the quest to unite under a Caliphate. We leave only Iran alone, in hopes that they will be the ones to control the non-radicals amongst them. When the revolution begins in Saudi Arabia, the plan will be nearly complete. Just awaiting the arrival of the Mahdi, who will declare the entire world as Muslim.
I pray that it is, but evil knows no bounds.
If they know what's good for them, the bastards will keep their hands off America's treasured and hallowed places. If they so much as put a scratch on Lady Liberty's hem, it'd be open season on them.
There is nothing about our history that would be a threat to Jehovah, so there’s no reason why God would need to hide anything from us.
Mow 'em down like the rabid swine that they are and let "Allah" decide what to do with 'em.
"Makh tovaht."

Do you expect any condemnation of this from the Executive Office, State Department, or even NPR? (crickets...)

Short answer: No, I do not...well maybe. But only in the same CYA-fashion that Hillary, for example, remained silent as Obama purposefully unleashed chaos in the Middle East, but now she safely chooses to chastise Egypt's new leaders of mistreating women.
If there is any utterance from the USA on this tragedy, we can expect similar shell-game pronouncements (Don't look there at the big picture; look here at our talking points].

From the article:
"What we are seeing here is not a battle for power, but rather, a battle for perception, memory, heritage and historiography; that is, the writing of history."
Fixing it:
"What we are seeing here is not a battle for power, but rather [and preeminently,] a battle for perception, memory, heritage and historiography; that is, the writing of history."

Tragically, for Egypt, the Middle East, and Western Civilization, this is a global phenomenon. Look only to the USA for proof that we are in "a battle for perception, memory, heritage and historiography; that is, the writing of history."
Don't miss the source article for this thread's article:
Yep, and folks now won’t care as opposed to when everyone condemned the Taliban for destroying the Buddha statues, because this is a ‘popular democratic movement.’
Isaiah 19
Not sure what that has to do with what we were talking about, but ok.
I was just stating my belief that, as horrific as what the Moslems are in terms of what they are going to do with Egypt’s heritage, I don’t believe that the history of man will ultimately be lost.
If that’s what it takes to make the Arabs happy, I have no problem with that.
Do it. We can clean up later.
Got it. I completely agree. In the grand scheme of things, radical Islam is but a boil on the ass of history.

This is going well.

This is going as expected ...
Since Egypt’s main income is from tourists coming to see said ancient artifacts, what will the country use for money? The hungry hordes will grow. Starvation will become the norm. But then there is always foreign aide from the US ... or not.
It will all be the Jooze faultm, no doubt.
Kidnappings for Ransom like in Mexico? Sometimes the kidnappers actually return those who were kidnapped...as opposed to just killing them.
646 A.D. - When the Arab commander Saad ibn-e Abi Vaghas faced the huge Persian library of Cteciphon (capital city), he wrote to Omar (Calif/Ruler of Arab Muslims): what should be done about the books?. Omar replied that the “blasphemous” books are not needed, as for us only Koran is sufficient. Thus, the huge library was destroyed and the books or the product of the generations of Persian scientists and scholars were burned in fire or thrown into the Euphrates. Later by the order of another Arab ruler (Ghotaibeh ibn-e Moslem) in Khwarezmia, those Persians who were literate with all the historians, writers and Mobeds were massacred and their books burned so that after one generation the people were illiterate. Other libraries in Ray and Khorassan received the same treatment and the famous international University of Gondishapour declined and eventually abandoned, and its library and books vanished. Only few books survived, because the Persian scholars quickly translated them into Arabic in order to save them.
RE: The “Arab Spring”
The Bad News: It won’t be safe to go to Egypt for generations.
The Good New: There won’t be anything worth seeing there anyway.
