it's not? a whole bunch of people getting killed in a conflict they had no choice over?
Hey OP, maybe you should make a note that this is not going to happen because like five people have this viewpoint.
Also, why do you even have that source? It's like you googled "Muslims are stupid" and then used the first goddamn link you found to capitalize on the fact that most facepunchers only read a title to get an unwavering opinion on a subject.
[editline]10th July 2012[/editline]
Hell the link doesn't even work.
I find it funny though that people in this thread are using this example of a few radical Muslims having a minority viewpoint and extrapolating it to the entirety of Islam.
but seriously the pyramids would cost an enormous amount of money to take apart its not feasible no matter how crazy conservatives get over it in Egypt
also the Government would not let it happen, they are more pragmatic than most face punchers think the Brotherhood are

But its MUSLIM brotherhood. It means that they all fuck goats and stone women.
[QUOTE=gman003-main;36713152]Sheesh. At least all the Christians did when they took over was convert all the old temples and crap into churches (see: [del]The Pantheon[/del] Church of St. Mary and the Martyrs).
Edit:
Although the Muslims have done so as well - the cathedral of Hagia Sophia was converted into a mosque after the Turks conquered Byzantium.[/QUOTE]
Almost all the temples of Ancient Rome were destroyed, with the exception of the Pantheon. The Vatican is built with the stone of destroyed temples. (Even the pantheon's bronze ceiling was melted down under order of Pope Urban VIII)
[QUOTE=Dragoshi1;36713086]Unacceptable.
The Pyramids are amazing, nobody would agree to demolishing them.[/QUOTE]
PLus they are also an absolutely massive tourist drive so a huge source of cash.
I always wondered what would happen if you detonated a nuke inside a great pyramid. Would the blocks go flying into the air? That would be so metal.
They would probably just crumble :(
They're just piles of rock, why do they want them destroyed?
[QUOTE=Nukefuzz;36714810]They're just piles of rock, why do they want them destroyed?[/QUOTE]
Inferiority complex. The pyramids are a monument to the superiority of the pharoahs, and the muslims are intimidated by that.
It's very freudian/lacanian
The nipples of the world
I would imagine there would be some kind international backlash if they destroyed the pyramids, but I doubt the Egyptians would destroy them because it could possibly also hurt Egypt's economy since they attract butt loads of tourists and archaeologists.
To me this is just another perfect example from the Middle East on why you shouldn't let religion run your damn country.
[B]EDIT:
[/B]But then again, one of the main beliefs of the Muslim brotherhood is to put religious needs over national needs, so they probably will destroy them and probably wreck Eygpt's economy while they're at it.
But if they destroy the pyramids, how will the aliens know where to land?

Any aliens that try to land on the pyramids are fucking stupid anyway.

This article is really sensationalist, none of the clerics quoted are even Egyptian. It's like saying "Calls to execute all homosexuals begin" because Westboro Baptist Church says it.
Good. I hate triangular based objects. Smug bastards.

Well, no but they're not divided that much. They're still of the same religion and these Sheikhs seem fairly influential so it's not something they can ignore.
I doubt they'd do it though. It would kill a huge part of their tourism, get everyone including a lot of Muslim nations incredibly pissed off at them and generally shoot themselves in the foot. They may be Islamists but with the kind of power and accountability they have now they'd be stupid to do anything so risky.

The concepts of religious guys/sheikhs/scholars in the gulf is a joke. no one listens to them, no media portrays their views, they are only limited to their own TV channels like televangelists.
As a part Egyptian, fuck off. Seriously, what the flying fuck. You make me want to violate my "Every life has a value and shouldn't be wasted" mindset to pummel a rock in your till i see your pee sized brain.
Also,
[QUOTE]In other words, Morsi's call to release the Blind Sheikh, a terrorist mastermind, may be the tip of the iceberg in coming audacity. From calls to legalize Islamic sex-slave marriage to calls to institute "morality police" to calls to destroy Egypt's mountain-like monuments, under Muslim Brotherhood tutelage, the bottle has been uncorked, and the genie unleashed in Egypt.
[/QUOTE]
What the fuck, they call us barbarians. No god, i repeat, NO GOD, would EVER allow that kind of bullshit. If i didn't know otherwise, i would call for the extermination of Islam. But these are just ideological fanatics who spout bullshit all day. There are just as bad Christians, but god fucking damn, this is the largest concentration of bullshit i have witnessed.

[quote]This is a reference to the Muslim Prophet Muhammad's companion, Amr bin al-As and his Arabian tribesmen, who invaded and conquered Egypt circa 641. Under al-As and subsequent Muslim rule, many Egyptian antiquities were destroyed as relics of infidelity. While most Western academics argue otherwise, according to early Muslim writers, the great Library of Alexandria itself--deemed a repository of pagan knowledge contradicting the Koran--was destroyed under bin al-As's reign and in compliance with Caliph Omar's command.[/quote]
Yes because that was such a good idea, lets keep doing this kind of shit.

Yeah but you would've thought that the Muslim Brotherhood, a religious-based institution themselves would be more connected to that than the average organisation. I more meant that they can't just dismiss them because they're a different sect and have to actually deal with the issue, even if they can just hope they don't exist.
Tried googling egypt pyramids and only questionable sources reporting it. meh.
would be interesting to see the new presidents response once it gains intl momentum.
okay wow egypt they're fucking pyramids and if you're offended by them then [B]that sounds like a fucking personal problem[/B]
This is absolutely fucking unacceptable.
One of the seven wonders of the world..... Destroyed!?!?!?!
Egypt can kiss their tourism ratings and their place in history goodbye, infact, I bet a bunch of tourists are going to protest in 5 minutes.

They're hardly hollow...
And a pyramid is like the most stable architectural structure that we know of.
[QUOTE=-Get_A_Life-;36712994]Nothing to worry about, never gonna happen. That's just sad to see some people are so devoted to their beliefs they're willing to destroy their own history.[/QUOTE]
Yeah I came into the thread worried that it was going to be about destroying the pyramids for the construction of skyscrapers or cities or hotels or something, but it's just some crazy religious guy.
Sleep well Pyramids, you're safe for another day.

So, you're telling me that it's clearly just completely safe to land large space objects, that are applying downward force in extreme amounts to keep from simply crashing down, on old stone structures? I will admit that they are geometrically stable but in reality they'll probably collapse at least enough to send the ship tumbling down the side if not destroy quite a bit of the pyramid.
