History did not begin on the birth of the pedophile, mass murderer Mohamhead.

Just why did we bother saving the Kuwaitis from Saddam?

How is it that when the Muslims burst out Arabian peninsula led by people closely associated with Mohammad they left all the historic sites alone. The Arabs conquered Egypt in 642 AD only 10 years after the death of Mohammad and they left the pyramids and like alone. The Salafists claim they are following the pure Islam from the time of Mohammad so why do they not follow that example. The Caliph during this time was a companion of Mohammad.

I guess I'd better make vacation plans to see them while they're still standing.

The world is made a better place for certain things having existed.

Islam is not one of those things.

Start with Mecca and the Dome of the Rock

What’s up with the “scare quotes” in the headline around “pagan?”

The ancient Egyptians weren’t pagans?

I think they will eventually destroy these sites. All non Israeli sites in the ME are probably in danger. Artifacts and art from these places don’t belong in their home contries just by virtue of origin.

Just to point out a little hypocrisy of Muslims. The al-Ḥajar al-Aswad (Black Space Rock) is the eastern cornerstone of the Ka'aba towards which Muslims pray. The al-Hajar al-Aswad is a meteorite that Muslims believe was placed by Abraham and Ishmael. Prior to invention of Islam, the Ka'aba existed, often at times with multiple idols. There is no biblical evidence that Abraham was ever in the vicinity of Mecca.

Islamist should shot dead as soon as they announce themselves as such or behave as such.

The way those are constructed a few tons of HE in the vaults and then charges to seal the shafts before it was detonated might not bring them down, but they will forever be just a pile of rocks.

They and the sphinx are one of the few things really worth fighting for over there imho.

"promoting prostitution and debauchery."

We should drop him into the Moonlite Bunny Ranch and see if his head explodes. Then again, maybe the girls could win him over to debauchery.
