Sad... remember Afghanistan? Now Mali... Such a shame to destroy man's historical heritage... Now THIS is cause for war, not oil and blind political interests, a crime against us all...

This kind of irrational behavior doesn't surprise me in the least. These nut bars go around blowing themselves up for jollies, so why not remove a wonder that has been around almost as long as man himself?
Picture this:
Muhammad Jihad blows himself up in a cafe in the name of islam. He arrives in paradise and is told there is good news and bad news. The good news is there are 72 virgins waiting to spend eternity with him - the bad news is, they're all boys.

Hmm... the pyramids were built during the Old Kingdom (2686 BCE – 2181 BCE). Man is around for, roughly, 200.000 years now... ^^

Consider the source?

Unfortunately, this is nothing new. Man’s beliefs of the afterlife have often led him to not only neglect, but even destroy historical treasures. Think of the Byzantine iconoclasm, Afghanistan statues, Timbuktu, the Alexandrian Serapeum…

Many of the great temples of antiquity only escaped demolition or scavenging for cut stone by being converted into Christian churches (the Parthenon, Pantheon, etc.) So here's how we save the Pyramids: take up a collection to build a mosque on top of each (a small one).

I think the western media are again being manipulated.
Compare it to the Mali attacks. There are many Islamic shrines, but they attack the ones known in the west, because the western media will report on it, and tourists will stay away. That gives the jihadists additional space.
The same in Egypt. If orthodox Muslims want to do something, demolishing the pyramids is quite impractical. Repainting the ancient tombs, however, is easy. But in that case, the western press doesn't portray Egypt as stupid and unsafe.
The bottom line is that Salafist Muslims and western journalists both have interests in portraying Mali (or Egypt, or Iran...) as unsafe.

Do we have another, independent source confirming that Bahrain’s “Sheikh of Sunni Sheikhs” and President of National Unity, Abd al-Latif al-Mahmoud, called on Egypt’s new president, Muhammad Morsi, to “destroy the Pyramids and accomplish what the Sahabi Amr bin al-As could not“?
These MuslimWatch pages are increasingly helpful in that they are not afraid to deliver news which the mainstream media still prefers to suppress for cheap PC reasons, but they also like to pick the news which suits their agenda best, thereby giving the odd, inevitable idiot too much publicity and weight.

Does the Daily Mail count? ;
Sorry I don't know how to copy and paste on this phone, but the headline was about covering them with wax.
Re: The end of the pyramids? - M. Demetrius - 07-13-2012
That would be one big lot of wax!
