They looted and vandalized the Egyptian museum as recently as 2011. You can’t send treasures like that to a place that unstable and filled with Islamic hatred. They view anything before Muhammad is idolatry and try to destroy it. It’s utterly irresponsible to send it to Egypt.
There was a time, a decade or so ago, I would have been in wholehearted agreement with you. Then we started literally tearing down statues of our own for the most ridiculous reasons presented by the least serious people in our land; western culture no longer holds the moral high ground we once did.
Egypt's ancient relics are no safer here than they are in Egypt given the absurd flights of whimsy we now allow to drive public policy.
Only an idiot world send those things to Egypt. In the revolution they looked and destroyed the museum. Same in Iraq. Same in Syria. Nothing but an idiot would send archeological treasures to any Islamic nation. They should stay in white majority countries where they will be safe, or even with private collectors.
Who's "They?"
You're intentionally conflating two separate things.
The 2011 event was a looting spree from the Egyptian Revolution, not an Islamic or terrorist attack. It has never been tied to Islamic terrorism.
The Egyptian Museum in Cairo currently houses the largest collection of Egyptian antiquities in the world.
Following your logic, they should all be removed and relocated to “private collectors,” in “white majority countries” - because the museum is inherently in danger of being vandalized by Muslim extremists.
The 'destruction of cultural heritage by the Islamic state' - has occurred in events in Iraq, Syria and Libya - not in Egypt.
In an interesting turn of events, in January 2014 there was a truck bombing in Cairo, ostensibly targeting the police, the day before the three-year anniversary of the Egyptian Revolution. The "collateral damage" destroyed many artifacts at the Egyptian Museum of Islamic Art. The museum reopened in 2017.
Only an idiot would think that >Muslim extremists< would blow up a museum housing Muslim art.
