Egyptian jihad leader calls for destruction of Sphinx, Pyramids

Oh, this makes me want to weep! Those are on my list of 'Things I wish I could see one day, but probably won't.'

How can we have a world without these beautiful icons? It's simply unimaginable!

The two 6th century monumental statues of a standing Buddha had been carved into the side of a cliff in the Bamyan valley in the Hazarajat region of central Afghanistan. Even if done today, with our laser levels, pneumatic tools, and lifting equipment, the creation of these statues was no mean accomplishment. But these, these magnificent artifacts, were done 1500 years ago.

In short order Muslims destroyed them in March 2001 using weapons of war. Thus, works of art that no Islamic society could ever, ever create (you've heard of a Muslim Beethoven perhaps?) were blown to smithereens with equipment that no Islamic society could ever, ever invent (you've seen Muslim-crafted spaceships perhaps?).

Now these statues, sited in obscure Afghanistan, were not well known to the public at large. But the pyramids, the Shpnix? These are well within the purview of even the dullest-minded public school union-controlled teacher; knowledge of these fantastic creations have seeped out (damn you, Mark Twain and Agatha Christie), even if they are not as beautiful today as they once were upon their original completion (having suffered Muslim vandalism in the past).

Destroying these? Now there's a public relations task that might even knock off Don Draper.

Muslims should address their own blatant idolatry before they concern themselves with archeological remnants of past civilizations. Muslims around the world pray toward the Black Stone in the Kaaba. When performing the hajj pilgrimage they must touch or kiss the Black Stone 21 times. By any definition of the word, that is idolatry. The Pyramids and the Sphinx are merely artifacts of an ancient culture which have priceless historical value but serve no religious purpose today. By contrast, the Black Stone is an idol worshipped by over a billion people daily. Muslims should destroy that idol to show their true devotion to God and only God.

Nothing could possible demonstrate more perfectly the savage and destructive core of Islam that must totally erase every trace of a subject people's cultural identity and replace it with insect-like mental regimentation. For Egypt to destroy the labor of ages, the crown glory of its ancestors, simply because it was created before Islam conquered the minds of Egyptians... That this was even suggested in seriousness says all that can be said about Islam and its ultimate aims. Imagine a world without art, music; the soaring esthetic creations of humanity's greatest intellects reduced to ashes and rubble. That is Islam.

We can't stop them from destroying their own history. But we can point at the hateful folly that they use as an excuse for a "religion of peace".

And when school children learn of the antiquities of ancient Egypt, make sure they learn what became of those irreplaceable artifacts. Yes, we learn of many things that Islamic society conveyed to those who started the Renaissance. But we never learn of the burning of the library of Alexandria.

And while they're at it, why not blow up the Aswan dam. It was built by the Kuffar.

Well we knew that was coming...It may be harder to destroy the pyramids than they think...Maybe they will uncover the space ship rumored to be buried under it...

For the benefit of DDA, Graven Image I will re-post this with out the sarcasm,

The massive creature gazes with large and almost scary eyes eastward toward the equinox. While the face is intact, the nose is missing. A large gash across the face appears to have been caused by an explosive device, possibly a shell, that removed the nose. Was that an accidental strike, or was it done on purpose? :Louis Farrakhan once said he believed the damage had racial undertones, and that the nose was blown away by whites who were angry that the nose of the Sphinx was Negroid.
Napolean has been blamed, as have British and German forces during the great wars, although there is no record of this being true.

Yet historical record notes that both Arab conquerors and Sa'im al-dahr damaged the Sphinx. Writings of Sa'im al-dahr specifically mention the nose.

The one-meter-wide nose on the face is missing. Examination of the Sphinx's face shows that long rods or chisels were hammered into the nose, one down from the bridge and one beneath the nostril, then used to pry the nose off towards the south.

The Egyptian Arab historian al-Maqrīzī, writing in the 15th century AD, attributes the loss of the nose to iconoclasm by Muhammad Sa'im al-Dahr, a Sufi Muslim from the khanqah of Sa'id al-Su'ada. In AD 1378, upon finding the Egyptian peasants making offerings to the Sphinx in the hope of increasing their harvest, Sa'im al-Dahr was so outraged that he destroyed the nose, and was hanged for vandalism. Al-Maqrīzī describes the Sphinx as the "talisman of the Nile" on which the locals believed the flood cycle depended.

It will be spectacular and exemplary Islamic Democracy. Raze the tourist income flat to the ground. Destroy all the highrises and asphalt road, and return to nomadic like.

I do want to see all Muslim countries return to its natural state as before the civilization.

Just in case you haven't been paying attention and think humankind is not too stupid to survive as Earth's nascent species, kindly reread the above article.

......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.

“So who are you to do it?” he wondered. “The Prophet destroyed the idols because people worshiped them, but the Sphinx and the Pyramids are not worshiped.”

Oh ...only idols that are worshiped are to be destroyed. Wow, this is very reassuring to those religions who do have statues and pictures of their holiest of holies. Rather a lot, come to think of it. But Islam so orders it and so it must be. Gotcha. And to believe otherwise is probably some kind of hatemongering islamophobic bigotry.
The Ennahda party are said to be some kind of moderates, right?

Al-Gohary...called on Muslims to remove such “idols.”

Good idea, it will keep them busy for a while...

Tip for Mr Al-Gohary: try adopt the new islamic technology... widening your already super wide anus!

“God ordered Prophet Mohammed to destroy idols”

Mohammed showed no respect for other people's religions when he smashed idols in Mecca. Why should anyone respect Islam?

Dear Jihad Watch readers:

The destruction of those magnificent towering Buddha statues had at least a few in the pro-Islamic media horrified. However, in the years since their destruction... the more dhimmified the media has become. So much that when the historic shrines of Muslim saints from an offshoot Islamic sect were destroyed in Mali earlier this year... basically no one noticed.

Any time construction workers (almost always NON-MUSLIMS brought in from other nations)in Muslim lands come across pre-Islam archaeological sites, artifacts, etc... they are instructed to destroy them. When Islamists invaded Mali, Darfur and other African states... jewelery items, amulets, etc- representing different tribal cultures and animist beliefs... were ripped off the bodies of the owners.

Recently in Israel, muslims have ripped up timbers from an ancient Jewish temple and destroyed them.

Islamists in Europehave tried (so far unsuccesfully... once again "only so far") to remove, cover up or alter works of art from the medieval era and renaissance that have depicted Islamists in ways found offensive by Muslims. Did these Islamic Imbeciles really expected Christian artists who when learning of the blood lust of the Muslims during the Crusades to actually create paintings and art work praising "Allah", I mean PULLLEEEZZZEEE you stupid Islamic- #@*$"?## get a clue.

Why al these references to OTHER works of art, archaeological sites and even small objecs (amulets, etc) of non-Islam origin? Well, the Islamists if not successful in destroying all of the above... are hellbent on doing so. Don't think that global treasures like the Sphinx and Pyramids can be immune.

The muslims do this to re-write history and to re-enforce a belief that any time period before Islam arrived was inherently inferior.
If you don't destroy historic cathedrals, synagogues, shrines and temples... then take over those former places of Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, Sihk and Hindu worship.... and tell Muslim children these buildings have always been Islamic.

Attempt to alter paintings which depict the truth about Islamic barbarism in the Crusades. Obliterate shrines of saints... to get rid of proof that another sect or Islam existed in a land before your own Muslim denomination arrived.

...and so it goes. On a similar note of re-writing history; as an American Indian I have had way too many discussions with muslims who believe that they- muslims are the "indigenous peoples" of America. Strange. I have friends who are Pawnee, Miami, Chickasaw, Cherokee, Sac & Fox, etc, etc... who would argue that point.

My gut reaction is the days of these ancient treasures, the Sphinx and Pyramids are numbered. Oh, and the reference in the article about the Sphinx... muslims centuries ago defaced the Sphinx and destroyed the nose.

I agree with the extremeist muslims, there needs to be a clensing,and we should help all those who want to see ahla...to do just that! It should start with the turning of two keys at the same time...and literally end with a blast!!! (GOT NUKES?????)as all those who spread hate throught the world we live in. Seem to hate it so much, then lets help them get out of the cazy place!!!!!

I say may they have their forty virgins, and may they all be ugly, hairy, toothless, bacon eating bitches!!!!

Dear Jihad Watch readers:

Shout outs to the following... Gravenimage, for pointing out that the Arabic-Islamic destroyers had nothing to do with the Egypt of the Pharoahs...

Dumblesdorearmy for some amazing museum links...

Gunung Semeru, I didn't know about the "renaming of those antiquities" and for reminding all of us that Islamic murderers are always trying to target tourists who visit historic sites...

and the posts from other JW readers were great too, especially the quote about insect-like mental regimentation.

Awesome guys and gals!

If this piece of pig shit gets to demolish the pyramids, then we should get to demolish the Kaaba stone in Mecca, IN ALL FAIRNESS.

I know I've mentioned this before, but my mother-in-law is a docent at a prominent collection of ancient Egyptian artifacts here in the United States.

She was peripherally involved with the discovery and repatriation of the mummy of Ramses I to Egypt. She was thrilled to meet the charming Zahi Hawass, who would soon become the Egyptian Minister of State for Antiquities Affairs.

Of course, that was a few years ago.

I was rather leery of the whole thing at the time, and now repatriations like this one have never looked more foolish.

Zahi Hawass is history, and there has been, from everything I have been able to ascertain, no new appointee to the position—nor do I expect there to be one under the Muslim Brotherhood.

Here's Raymond Ibrahim with the Front Page Magazine's coverage of the ridiculous Huffington Post dismissing the threat to Egypt's pyramids as a "hoax".

http://frontpagemag.com/2012/raymond-ibrahim/huffington-post-msm-facilitate-destruction-of-egypt%E2%80%99s-pyramids/

In the comments, you can find my exchange with notorious Muslim troll "Mensch Keymelon", where he openly calls for the destruction of Egypt's ancient heritage. He wants to see the great pyramid razed to the ground, because they are a "symbol of idol worship"—and a giant mega-Mosque erected on the site using the pyramid's stones as building materials. Typical Muslim destructiveness and supremacism.

He also crows over the Taliban's destruction of the Bamiyan Buddhas, and sets his sights on the treasures of the West, as well.

I suspect this is far more common in Muslim countries than we think.

In an essay on my blog, I noted a curious detail about archeology in Turkey.

It began with my reading a recent news story about the discovery in Turkey of a couple of ancient statues of life-sized lions, dating back to the Hittite Empire (approximately the 2nd millennium B.C.).

The news report tells us:

The story of the discovery of the massive lions began in 2001...

The Karakiz lion was found dynamited in two, likely in the mistaken belief that it contained hidden treasure.

As I wrote on my blog:

["likely" means you don't know, you're just guessing this must be the motive -- I mean in a country full of Muslims, there couldn't possibly be another motive for destroying the artifacts of another culture, right...?]

The news story continued:

"There's this belief that monuments like this contain treasure," said Summers, explaining that the dynamiting of monuments is a problem in Turkey. "It makes the Turkish newspapers every month or so."

BOING!!!!

There's that buried remark in a buried paragraph of a story about a Muslim country (indeed, a "modern moderate" Muslim country like Turkey), revealing some maggots under the rock we happened, by pure change, to overturn. Of course the archeologists and the reporter assume, without giving any evidence, that it must be purely for motives of theft.

The news story goes on:

The second lion, found to the northeast of the village, had also been split in two. As a result of this destruction both lion sculptures, which originally were paired with another, now mainly have one lion intact. The danger of new looting loomed over the researchers while they went about their work.

"Looting"? Or something more... Islamic?

In the summer of 2008 evidence of "fresh treasure hunting" was found at the ancient quarry along with damage to a drum-shaped rock that, in antiquity, was in the process of being carved.

"Treasure hunting"? Or "Jahilliya vandalism"?

I choose door (or should I say, bronze portal) #2.

Pyramids are a reminder of when 'Abids' weren't 'Abids' and had a civilization as great if not greater than the Greeks and Romans.
