This is what Democratic Progressives endorse. The Islamists have done this for a millennium. They are just completing what they started by the last burning of the Library of Alexandria.

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."

The leftists are in such deep and total denial.
