This is exactly why the west should NEVER give back priceless historical artifacts to these backwards pedophile worshiping countries.

This sort of behavior reveals the fact that there are radical Muslim groups involved here and that this is not just a peacefull, people power revolution. Egyptians know the value of their past particularly in tourist dollars but also in culture. Radical muslim groups, however, want all of this histroy destroyed as it is perceived to be against allah and is a sacrilege to keep on it muslim soil.

Good move, Egyptians. Your country derives most of its income from tourism. People visiting to see all of the ancient artifacts. Here’s an idea, why not just burn them all and screw yourselves? Brilliant.

I agree 100%. I was thinking something very similar when I was in the Egyptian and Pergamon museums in Berlin last year. I got to see the famous Nefertiti Bust, which Egypt has been demanding back for years.

Thank God the Germans haven't given in. They've refused even to loan the bust to Egypt, clearly for good reason. Likewise with the British and the Rosetta Stone.

Such rage against “pagan” artifacts is typical of Islamofascists. (Remember Bamiyan?) No wonder 0bama loves this mob. He thinks they’re on his side in his fight against America.

Correct. At least some of them would be secure if they were in London, Paris, NY, Moscow...
I’m hoping Hawass is real proud of bringing them all back!

IMHO, The curators of the museum have much to answer for if they did not attempt to protect the art in some way on Day One when the demonstrations started.
