An online magazine has offered translations to Arabic news sources that purportedly indicate that Egypt's Salafi party has come forth with plans to demolish Egypt's Great Pyramids in an effort to bring down what it calls "symbols of paganism."
Bahrain's "Sheikh of Sunni Sheikhs" and President of National Unity, Abd al-Latif al-Mahmoud, has reportedly urged Egypt's new president, Muhammad Morsi, to "destroy the Pyramids and accomplish what Amr bin al-As could not," according to conservative political publication FrontPage Magazine.
Al-Mahmoud's comments relate to Amr bin al-As, a companion of the Islam's founder Muhammad, who invaded Egypt in 641 and began destroying Egyptian artifacts. Some early Muslim writers have noted that Amr bin al-As even destroyed the great Library of Alexandria, which was a hub of knowledge for the ancient world.
Amr bin al-As, however, did not have the means to destroy the massive pyramid structures back then, but the Salafi party now has the technology available to do just that.

Why don’t they go after the Great Sphinx and the Luxor temple complex while they are at it? “We don’t need no steenkin’ tourists!”
Between dollars and Euro....there’s tons of cash flowing into Egypt on a daily basis. The entire nation is getting a piece of the action. I think the last thing you’d want to do....is mess this deal up. It’d be like allowing armed gangs to wander around Las Vegas, and let forty tourists a week to get whacked.
The filthy Islamists would do such destruction for one purpose only, and that would be to remove any history other than their own to hasten the subjugation of the people of Egypt.
There's only ONE "Great Pyramid!"
Forever mired in islam (small i used to denote utmost disrespect).
I think I heard something today about people (Christians?) in Nigeria destroying tombs in Muslim cemetaries.
Neutron bomb time...
