In Islamic law, women are to cover their hair so as to remove the occasion of temptation from men. So Wagdi Ghoneim is suggesting that the mummified corpse of a woman can be an object of sexual desire. Aside from that, note his contempt for Egypt’s pre-Islamic civilization. Islamic jihadists want to destroy the artifacts of non-Muslim civilizations because doing so testifies to the truth of Islam, as the Qur’an suggests that the destroyed remnants of ancient non-Muslim civilizations are a sign of Allah’s punishment of those who rejected his truth: “Many were the ways of life that have passed away before you: travel through the earth, and see what was the end of those who rejected truth.” (Qur’an 3:137)
This is one of the foundations of the Islamic idea that pre-Islamic civilizations, and non-Islamic civilizations, are all jahiliyya — the society of unbelievers, which is worthless. That includes the Egyptian mummies.
“Turkey-Based Egyptian Islamic Scholar Wagdi Ghoneim Criticizes Cairo’s ‘Golden Parade’ Of Mummified Pharaohs: The Hair Of One Female Mummy Was Showing; Al-Sisi Displays Corpses Of Infidels For Money,” MEMRI, April 5, 2021:
Turkey-based Egyptian Islamic scholar Wagdi Ghoneim criticized the “Golden Parade” of mummified Pharaohs in Cairo. In a video posted on his official YouTube account on April 5, 2021, he said that Allah had intended human bodies to be buried, so that the decaying bodies would be hidden. Ghoneim said that this parade was depraved, so much so that “they transported a mummy of a woman and her hair was showing.” He also said that Egyptian President Al-Sisi is so greedy that he has put “corpses of dead infidels” on display for pay, adding: “To hell with you, Al-Sisi. May Allah destroy your home!” Ghoneim continued to say that Al-Sisi is “of Jewish origin” and he wants to destroy Egypt and impoverish its people. For more about Wagdi Ghoneim, see MEMRI TV clips Nos. 8378 7127, 5983, 5362, 5186, 5024.
Wagdi Ghoneim: “Is it permitted to honor the corpses of infidels after their death? In the past few days, we have seen an unparalleled stupidity in Egypt. They decided to move the corpses and the mummies of the Pharaohs, from the museum in Tahrir Square to another museum. Why? What is this? Is it permitted [by the shari’a]? Allah intended the grave to be a place of grace for human beings – it hides our corpses, our smell, and the worms that eat us.
[…]
“These people are dead and buried. What else do you want from them? In addition to all of that, those buried people were infidels. They renounced Allah, and Allah called them infidels for that. Do you consider this accursed Pharaoh to be an infidel or a Muslim? He is an infidel, of course. Our Lord is the one that declared him an infidel.
[…]
“Just see how depraved they are – they transported the mummy of a woman and her hair was showing. How are you doing this? There is no power but from Allah. The strange thing is that they are saying that they are moving [the mummies] in order to put them in another place where people could come see them and pay admission. Is it permitted to put corpses on display and charge money for that? To hell with you, Al-Sisi. May Allah destroy your home! You are so greedy that you even display corpses of dead infidels for money?
[…]
“[Al-Sisi] is of Jewish origin. He wants to destroy Egypt and impoverish its people.”

The peaceful religion never ceases to amaze. It can always descend to lower rungs of stupidity.

Your description of cult members is correct but we have to remember that it does not require intelligence to perform every kind of conceived evil monstrosity. It must be remembered that the Copts are killed even now regularly even after having the Brotherhood outlawed and many of its leaders incarcerated including Morsi who died in prison and other atrocities against the human race.

Yeah but what can you expect from those who are perverted .This article just proves they didn’t get out of grade school .Oh who am I kidding they didn’t get out of preschool .Elders buried their dead to prevent the predators from eating them ,Sex with corpses .Necrophilia on display .Though it explains some of their more perverse tortures of the living .Cry baby cowards who are so scared they won’t look their target in the face .Have to drug them. Following a old Nazi style technique .Yet without the Nazis pride .Shows their quilt. Weirdly they think their selves brilliant that they can follow someone else’s direction. They still fail miserably.

Mural : ? this notorious & scum Egyptian Muslim scholar has always been like this for many years attacking & demeaning everyone especially Christians and even Muslims themselves whom he called hypocrites and western agents blah blah blah .. he is very ill- mouthed guy and I am a Canadian Christian guy originally from Iraq and I have seen several of his notorious videos and once he even said that eating with ones left hand is forbidden in Islam because Satan eats with his left hand ?? and actually that was a Hadith by Muhammad but in the video which he was explaining that was fabulously hilarious ? no wonder why Muslims countries are backward
gravenimage says
Lion heart, the vicious Wagdi Ghoneim has justified attacks on Coptic churches because they are Infidels. He accused Coptic Pope Shenouda III of inciting sectarian violence in Egypt by sayint he would debate Muslims on Islam and Christianity.
He is also for amputating limbs.
In other words, he is an orthodox Muslim.
william says
Mural. Maybe seeing a mummified woman’s hair will excite him. I believe in Islam sex with a fresh corpse is allowed
Buraq says
Never a dull day with the religion of the mentally unbalanced and morally jaded! The fact that the hair of a woman who died 1,000s of years ago might act as a stimulant reminded me of Zamzami Abdul Bari, a Moroccan cleric who said that a man has the right to intercourse with his newly deceased wife. In May 2011, he claimed that marital rights were still “valid even after death”.
Ramping up his stupidity, he also claimed that a woman should be entitled to the same privilege with her dead husband!
J.Timmermans says
The impossible things we getting here to see. The more I am reading here the more I am hating islam. What I want to say here is that islam is not a religion, if you think it is it would be a religion of jihad. The very bad part of it all is that we have a pm in Canada a pm that is so stupid he is trying to get ialam into Canada. I am reading way to much of all this islam crap that I am getting sick of it. Many pages I read is how Muslims have tripled the killings of innocent people since 9/11. In 30 days they killed 917 people which includes beheadings.
Keith O says
And of course in any civilized society necrophilia is considered abhorrent.
This simply displays the level of barbarism which is considered “normal” by mudslimes.
Hadrian says
I never understood this ‘hijab’ and ‘modesty’ canard. Like… who the fuck gets turned on by hair?

The peaceful bunch and their stalwart Imams, of course. I think Allah that he did not bless us, infidels, with such refined taste.

Don’t we have a “hair aficionado” living at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue?

Ouch! Now that’s funny, thanks.

If all women are immured in shapeless Burqas–when they are out of the house at all–a glimpse of hair is probably pretty exciting…

‘Islamic Scholar’! What as ridiculously inappropriate conjunction of words. In the civilised West, a ‘scholar’ is usually a person of exceptional intelligence and intellectual integrity.
THX 1138 says
“These people are dead and buried. What else do you want from them?”
He does have a point here. Parading the remains of an ancient, primitive, totalitarian, Egyptian, theocratic, tyranny just to stick it to modern Muslim savages intent on establishing their own modern Egyptian, theocratic, tyranny is sadly ignorant of the brutal reality of tyranny; modern or ancient.
Perhaps, no more than perhaps, the pre-Islamic Egyptian theocracy prepared the soil for a Muslim theocratic tyranny. Meet the new theocracy, same as the old theocracy.
PRCS says
“theocratic tyranny”
Democracy and theocracy are antithetical to, and incompatible with each other.
We are governed as a representative democracy.
Islam is a totalitarian theocracy.
Wellington says
THX 1138:
No, he doesn’t have a point. By your reasoning we might as well engage in a dhimmi version of jahiliyya. Why bother studying, let alone praising, any ancient society since all were brutal one way or another (even the ancient Greeks, the inventors of democracy, had an extensive slave system).
Your approach does not lead to an understanding of the past but to its obliteration. Guess you’re OK with Confederate statues in America being taken down. Yeah, let’s just leave the Union statues standing at Gettysburg and Antietam and tear down the Confederate statues. Is this about right?
Reconsider matters. But you won’t.
gregbeetham says
Yes, history should be taught and displayed for all to see, warts and all. The asylum of the pagan Moon God Allah (Islam) and prior asylums all did pretty much the same thing, the latest asylum devoted to Satanic pagan worship desecrated the previous ones.
THX 1138 says
Mummies are for museums not for parades.
Did I argue that museums for mummies should be banned or torn down?
Statues shouldn’t be torn down, but how about a statue of Hitler, or Stalin, nothing wrong with that right? They were fighting to keep slavery and tyranny alive too.
You want to celebrate the bravery of Hitler, Stalin, or Jefferson Davis with a statue go right ahead show the world who you admire.
Wellington says
I do not put Jefferson Davis in the same category with Hitler and Stalin and I think it grotesque to do so, though I think Davis and the CSA in general were wrong on both slavery and secession. And where is it written that mummies are not for parades but only museums?
gravenimage says
Spot on, Wellington and Greg.
gravenimage says
THX 1138, the idea that we should not be able to study history is mistaken. One can admire aspects of a period of history without ignoring its flaws.
As for the idea that the credos of ancient Egypt created Islam there, this is a very odd claim. Egypt was in fact mostly Christian when Muslims invaded there in the 7th century.

“they transported a mummy of a woman and her hair was showing”
Many Muslim women–around the world–wear versions of “hijab” which expose the hair (Pakistan, the Balkans, etc.).
That “Islamic scholar” must really hate that.
BlackSabbath says
Wagdi Ghoneim is a mummy and needs to be berried before it bites someone.

owensgate says
No way to understand how “mummy hair” could be a turn-on, but each to his own; unless it’s “mommy hair”, then that’s a perversion of a different animal. But if 4,000 year old “mummies” are infidels, doesn’t that make Abraham, Isaac and Jacob infidels? If “infidel” means not believing in Mohammad, who invented islam in 600 something A.D., then Ishmael must be an infidel also, or show me the koran passage predicting Mohammad from his bloodline. Islamic logic doesn’t pass the smell test.
David Longfellow says
Muslim theologian = moron.

An accurate equivalency.

It must be an “interesting” place inside the heads of some of these mudslime clerics.
Constantly absorbing the contents of that vile book and banging your head on the ground can only lead to brain damage, add inbreeding into the mix and,,,well we only have to look at the islamic world to see the results.
James Lincoln says
Keith O,
Makes me think of the chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) seen in many NFL players…
Infidel says
Actually, in islam, necrophilia is condoned. It explains why in India, the practice of jauhar – Hindu women drugging themselves and cremating themselves alive when their city fell to the muslims – was started: they didn’t want their corpses to be descecrated by muslims. It didn’t exist before the arrival of islam, and it didn’t exist after the Mughal empire collapsed, when there were internecine Hindu wars b/w Hindu kingdoms (before the Brits established control)
Giacomo Latta says
How else to explain all that whitish fluid splattered on the plexiglass protecting the mummified corpse?
gravenimage says
Infidel, I’m afraid the hideous practice of Sati predates the Muslim invasion of India.
Aussie Infidel says
“One mummy of a woman had hair showing”
How disrespectful of those Ancient Egyptians. Did they not understand that the sight of a woman’s hair would be enough to cause their future Arab Muslim conquerors to lose control of their sexual desires?
This islamic scholar is a narrow minded sanctimonious prig. His only ‘scholarship’ comes from a book written by a psychopathic zealot 1,400 years ago who invoked supernatural claptrap to control women.
nicholas tesdorf says
Muslim Men in Egypt are so desperate that they are even attracted to 4,000 year-old dead women who show a wisp of old frazzled hair.

What kind of idiot scholar is this? Doesn’t he know that all people of old were Muslims without knowing it? Please get your nonsense religion straight you moron!

Its weird enough that such a silly old dude like this, with the lips of a man that likes to suck wee boys Penises, is actually saying the things hes saying, but whats even weirder is that many other muslims follow him as a Guru… I guess stupid follows stupid into stupidstan.
muslim men are admitting to the World at large that they are rapists, and that they feel the need to do this when a female shows her hair,or an ankle, and yet they feel no shame in admitting they are men without any control of their emotions or feelings, which tells me, and the World at large, that they are indeed primitive savages far from the evolution of civilization.
Beneath the Veil of Consciousness says
Such a delicate religion to be threatened by an ancient culture whose many secrets are still to be decifered by modern man. Perhaps this baboon could find a home more in line with his primitive ways in some jungle far off in the distance where his chatter no longer need be heard by modern uprighr humans.

Islamic Scholar? It evidentially doesn’t take much intelligence to be come a islamic scholar. He evidently can’t control his sex drive by seeing the hair of a thousand year old DEAD women, how sick is that.
But that just shows how restrictive the islamic world dominance will be if we allow this islamic ideology to rule our world. And rule our world is the Islamic plan.
James C.A. Reid says
This is going to p*ss off Mohammed! He was asked, who was the first Muslim? He actually gave 6 different answers. At various times he said: Himself, Christ & the 12 Apostles, the PHAROAHS, & various other Ancient Biblical Characters. What a dingbat ideology!! What makes it worse non-Muslims give itg credence !!!

Islamic scholar: Egypt shouldn’t display mummies because they’re ‘infidels,’ one mummy of a woman had hair showing

Are these pious Muslims arroused by this exposed hair of * mummy*?
God, I hate Islam.
Trevor Loughlin says
Actually I would dispute this “scholars” assertion that the pharaoh’s were not Muslim. The pharaoh’s acted like very good Muslims in one aspect. They inbred until they had severe disabilities.
