Goodbye Sphinx.
Goodbye other ancient links.
Allah must me appeased;

I don’t know his name, but the guy who was always on Discovery channel with all the ancient things of Egypt, they ran him off a while back. He had been in charge of all that historical stuff for decades and they fired him. So, he is probably toast now also.
Can’t help wondering what those OWE (Occupy Wall Egypt) commies are thinking now. It looks like their “Arab Spring” is turning a bit brown.
Even Ray Charles could have seen this one coming.
Soon the islamik nuts will start bombing each other...soon the moozlum freaks will destroy the historic structures...good by7e tourism...hello moozlum insanity. Great move, nobama, you moron.
