Isis is going to have to kill a lot of Egyptians before that happens.

[knarf]

I’m sure they don’t mind the overtime ....

[skeeter]

Hear that Egypt? ISIS wants to blow up your rice bowl.

And what do we do with people who try to blow up our rice bowl?

[Fungi]

What exactly do you call people walking around a black stone in Mecca?

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

Do it.

[maxwellsmart_agent]

I hope that in the 2016 election we get a president with some intestinal fortitude. This guy is sitting on his hands and watching the antiquities of the middle east be systematically be destroyed.

[Paladin2]

I say it’s a requirement to kill the Caliph as he is a living idol.

[Tupelo]

Not a whole heck of a lot different from knocking down statues and monuments.
Repainting collector cars.
Shunning anyone that speaks the truth.
Just to appease the gods of Political Correctness here in the disUnited States.

[onedoug]

ø supports this isis virus.

[jmcenanly]

What are they going to do next? Go after Devil's Tower?

I can see the possibility of something like the sort of mining where we remove the entire top of a mountain, but do these guys have the technical knowledge to do that?

[Sherman Logan]

FWIW, the area has been dominated by Muslims for well over 1000 years. None of its regimes seemed to feel a religious duty to destroy these monuments.

[NormsRevenge]

I wonder how many archaeologists are ready to stand in their way with their picks and brushes on a moments notice?

Maybe we’ll find out. I hope not.

[terycarl]

running a suicide car bomb into a pyramid won’t even knock the dust off of 1 block!!!

[BwanaNdege]

How do they plan to accomplish moving 6.5 million tons of rock? At the rate they keep killing off their captured slaves, they will have no workers. Perhaps Iran will give them the first nuke they produce? If not Iran, what about Pakistan?

Any Freepers good at calculating Bomb Damage for a low yield nuke?

[HandyDandy]

I seem to remember hearing a story about French soldiers using the Sphinx’s nose for target practice.

[left that other site]

I think Zawi Hawass should re-think his hatred of Israel. They might be the only ones who could save his precious antiquities (and him, too!) by being the only ones willing to defeat ISIS.

Just my opinion...don’t wanna start a flame war.

[Gene Eric]

Islam is a war plan.

Funny how these tools claim the property of what’s transcribed in The Great Works.

[ZULU]

Exterminating ISIS is a “religious duty”.

[wildbill]

I read somewhere that the Great Pyramid took 20+/- years to build, using some 20 million stones, according to the records extant.

The Egyptians would have had to set a stone into place every 7 seconds to complete it in that time.

That task would be daunting today with our equipment, so these guys should be busy for a while.
