The End for Thousands of Years of Egyptian Culture
The Pyramids at Giza are under threat
from destruction or 'concealment' by
covering them with wax

When Mohammed came to power, the first thing he did was to destroy the most revered religious sanctuary in the Middle East, what today we call the Kaaba. Before he turned it into an Islamic site, the Kaaba contained 360 idols representing almost ever religious persuasion of the time including Judaism, Christianity, paganism, etc.
Tribes from all around the Arabian peninsula would make pilgrimages there under the protection of the local Meccan tribes. Today of course, the site is off-limits to all but Muslims. So much for tolerance of other religions.
This revered tradition has continued for the past 1400 years: Muslims have been destroying the culture, artifacts and reliquaries of every country they've ever infested.
My readers will recall my 2007 article 13 Things Egyptian your grandchildren will never see, I warned that there exists a real danger that Islam will one day destroy the cultural and historical heritage of Egypt.
That "one day" may be coming very soon:
FrontPage Magazine, 11 Jul 2012, Calls to Destroy Egypt’s Great Pyramids Begin
According to several reports in the Arabic media, prominent Muslim clerics have begun to call for the demolition of Egypt’s Great Pyramids—or, in the words of Saudi Sheikh Ali bin Said al-Rabi‘i, those “symbols of paganism,” which Egypt’s Salafi party has long planned to cover with wax. Most recently, 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.”
One would expect outrage from our government, or even from Obama who only a few years ago in Cairo said Egypt represented "the harmony between tradition and progress." However, as Smooth Stone notes:
Waiting for the outrage from liberals, Jew-haters, the UN, NGOs, guardians of historical antiquity, Barack Hussein Obama, the Brits, Egyptians, non-Islamists, the Presbyterian Church, the Methodist Church, palestiniasts, Hanan Ashwari, the Human Rights Council, Israeli leftists, Jewish frauds, Mahmoud Abbas, museum curators, Egyptologists, Samantha Power, the Vatican, and others, but nope, I am not hearing a single peep.
But it only goes to show: Silence in the face of evil is itself evil - Dietrich Bonhoeffer.
