As I expected. The only reason most of the Egyptian antiquities survived the Muslim Caliphate is that most of them were hidden beneath the sand. Now they’ve been dug up, I expect they will gut all the museums and smash all those statues of pharaohs and gods.
Ironic that there was such resentment about foreign museums getting some of that stuff, and such insistence that it should be returned to the real owners—who will now proceed to destroy all of it.
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.
They want all of "their" stuff back so they can destroy it. Same reason they demand Jerusalem; same reason they're movin' in on the West at the speed of Barak (i.e. lightning).
Islam, the religion of perdition.
