An Egyptian jihad leader, with self-professed links to the Taliban, called for the “destruction of the Sphinx and the Giza Pyramids in Egypt,” drawing ties between the Egyptian relics and Buddha statues, local media reported this week.
Murgan Salem al-Gohary, an Islamist leader twice-sentenced under former President Hosni Mubarak for advocating violence, called on Muslims to remove such “idols.”
“All Muslims are charged with applying the teachings of Islam to remove such idols, as we did in Afghanistan when we destroyed the Buddha statues,” he said on Saturday during a television interview on an Egyptian private channel, widely watched by Egyptian and Arab audiences.
“God ordered Prophet Mohammed to destroy idols,” he added. “When I was with the Taliban we destroyed the statue of Buddha, something the government failed to do.”
His comments came a day after thousands of ultraconservative Islamists gathered in Tahrir Square to call for the strict application of Sharia law in the new constitution.
But in retaliation to Gohary’s remarks, the vice president of Tunisia’s Ennahda party, Sheikh Abdel Fattah Moro, called the live program and told Gohary that famous historic military commander Amr ibn al-Aas did not destroy statues when he conquered Egypt.

Nuke the Aswan High Dam!
And “drone” any wrecking crews sent to destroy the Pyramids!
To h*** with Islam! To h*** with its demon moon god & all his followers!
** but the pyramids might present a bit of a challenge.***
This was tried a couple of hundred years ago. After a few dozen stones were removed they gave up.
There’s a big rock in Mecca we should be happy to bunker-bust.
Oh, I forgot—our president is not, I repeat, not a moo-slime.
They could use those EZ movers they have on TV.
Come to think of it, that’s probably how they built them in the first place.
“...president is not, I repeat, not a moo-slime.”
But moo-slime lives with him in the White Hut...
Without its antiquities, few tourists would want to visit Egypt. It would just be an oversized sandbox, like Libya. I guess they don’t want our Yankee dollars after all.
The last time they took charge Alexandria had a Great Library, the Sphinx had a nose and the Pyramids had smooth sides.
Just sayin’...

I just want to see the explosion!
When it comes to power in Britain, Islam will destroy those too.
America is being destroyed, why not Egypt? WTF. The whold world is next with no America and it’s allies to prevent it. Maybe Russia or China may step in and save Earth. What a joke.
I read a fictional novel back in the 90’s that I can’t even remember the name of, but the storyline was remarkably similar to how things are unfolding now. Egypt is taken over by hardline islamists, who then go about destroying the great pyramids, while the US government is completely infiltrated by islamists. The similarities are just too weird. It was just a pot-boiler novel I read out of boredom, but the name escapes me. The storyline involved an archeologist and his love interest, whose father was a bigwig in the egyptian antiquities business in Cairo. Perhaps someone else remembers it.
Not with the Islamic bomb of peace. sarc/ Or they may just use the Coptic Christians as slaves to deconstruct history.
Not the Colosseum. So many Christians were martyred there that it is surely a festival site in Islam. It will be restored and put back into service.
But didn’t he burn down the library at Alexandrea?
These moozlums have such a wonderful, tolerant, embracing culture. NOT! Boom, slash, smash! They want to kill you and your family...especially if your head is shaped like a pyramid.
Wow, that was a real slam on the Muzzies.
The policy of destruction of idols is traditional, Quran based, obedience to Allah. A faithful, practicing Muslim should support, aid and abet the demolition of the Pyramids.
Mr. Rushmore comes a little later, though I think the Statue of Liberty(they see it as ‘License’) and the Lincoln Memorial would come first.
TWB
Yup, let ‘em go for it. Then there will be absolutely no reason for anyone to visit Egypt...ever.
Is it not NASA’s mission to stop them?
Remove all business and defense from the middle east. Cordon them off by air, by sea, by land. Sit back and watch them annihilate one another. Pass the popcorn until they are finished, then go in and pump them dry.
Obama continues to destroy the planet while his Democratic drones cheer! How is that recovery in New York going Obama drones ?
