Egyptian Salafi Sheik Calls to Destroy Pyramids‏

[Byron wilkins]

THIS IS THE CONSEQUENCES OF SHRAIA LAW IF IT SPREADS.

In March 2001, the Taliban in 

Afghanistan destroyed the ancient 

monuments, known as the "Buddhas 

of Bamiyan", which were probably 

the biggest tourist draw for Afghanistan, 

prior to this heinous act, among 

many heinous acts that have followed 

and continue, there to this very day, 

causing the utter devastation of this 

already poverty-stricken nation.

This act was seen as a horrific tragedy 

by archeologists, historians, Buddhists, 

all lovers of ancient civilizations and 

cultures, which is listed as a World 

Heritage Site by by UNESCO.

Here, we see the Egyptian Salafi Sheik, 

Murgan Salem in November 2012 calling 

for the destruction of the Pyramids of Giza 

(plus a special taxation of Christians, 

while adding that, "Bin Laden was greater 

than Saladin"). This, to the annoyance of 

his moderate Egyptian TV host.

Academics and historians use the term, 

"Salafi" to denote "a school of thought 

which surfaced in the second half of the 

19th century as a reaction to the spread 

of European ideas," however, contemporary 

Salafis claim to follow "literal, traditional... 

injunctions of the sacred texts".

Salafism, like any similar practice of 

following dead-letter scripture, at the cost 

of all reason, in any religious branch 

constitute a danger to humanity at-large - 

in my humble opinion. Just look at this 

man's eyes!

Devotion to God, by definition, would not 

necessitate the desecration of magnificent 

historical monuments, nor the massacre 

of peoples of other faiths. But you already 

knew that...
