Hi Jeff, I can’t make the link work.
Maybe the internet doesn’t know what Ozymandius is any more than me…
Bamiyan II, or How I Stopped Worrying and Learned to Love the Rubble.
They want to bust our Cheops.
Ozymandius is a poem by Shelley. The link goes to a frontpage mag article on the Muslim Brotherhood’s desire to destroy the pyramids. For Allah.
“Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!”
I think these same clerics have been calling for this forever. Nothing new really unless Egypt’s new leaders have decided that they no longer need tourist dollars at all.
I pulled Woody’s string and he said, “Somebody’s poisoned the water hole.”
I too had trouble getting Frontpage to load, so here’s another link to Ibrahim’s own page, via PJTatler.
Thanks. I don’t know why I can’t get the link to load.
Anyway, lemme try:
Don’t they know that the builders of those pyramids were inspired by Obama’s 2008 Cairo speech? Or was it just the MB that was inspired by that speech?
Those pyramids are cursed. I guess Muslims don’t go to the movies.
OK, so I guess the British Museum and others had best hold on to those old Egyptian relics and such – sending them home…? Might as well just put ’em in the wood chipper now.
Yep. I said that a few weeks ago. Who is going to stop the MB when they start setting the charges around the Sphinx?
It’s going to take every bomb vest they can make to knock down those pyramids.
I hope they video it…so we can finally see whats under all those stones. But what if the aliens that built them get mad and visit Paul Krugman to complain, Instant recovery? If the MB were smart they would just re stack them into a great rectangle or inverted pyramid…or…something.
It’s going to take every bomb vest they can make to knock down those pyramids.
They took out the towers; they can take out musty old piles of adobe.
Or at least ruin them something awful. Don’t underestimate their desire to destroy a World Heritage Site to show how badass they are, to keep the kuffr tourists out (yes, they’ll forgo the money the infidels bring in), and to show that the Warriors of Allah are superior to ancient pagans.
They will cut off their nose to spite their face. It’s who they are; it’s what they do.
Di, the pyramids are built of blocks of solid rock, not mud bricks. It would be like me trying to tear down my house by using scissors to cut up the vinyl siding.
Solid rock?
Then what were the Hebrews making all them bricks for?
To sell on the black market, undercutting the stone mason guild. Filthy Jews.
Siding. You don’t get a pyramid with a nice, smooth face by leaving the huge stone blocks out there for everyone to see. Someone might get the idea that tearing down a pyramid might be difficult or something.
They were making the bricks and snickering among themselves at the mental picture of 21st-century splodeydopes trying to do … what they’re now saying they want to do.
(Hey, if Obama can inspire a Lexus hybrid SUV four years before he had any means to do so…)
To be sure the job is well done, maybe we could get all of the MB into an area near the pyramids, vested up and ready to go. In fact there may be Western women there too you jihadi knuckleheads, go get em. Go to coordinates 29°58’30.92″N 31° 8’15.12″E and look up and smile.
I think in retaliation we should destroy the moon, because once a month, it’s a symbol of Islam.
Or, you know, we could just destroy Mecca because it’s a symbol of a religion we don’t like.
Make sure we get the holy meteorite.
Is the holy meteorite at all related to the holy hand grenade?
Have Hank Johnson call them to tell them that if they get rid of the pyramids, the country will tip over and they’ll all fall into the sea.
It’s not us, it’s them.
Sounds like SMOD could be a two-fer.
“They will cut off their nose to spite their face. It’s who they are; it’s what they do.”
– Theres actually a motive to their madness. Since the first Dliph (not Celiphate) they have been trying to destroy and erase all historic proof of Islams rrots, because yjeres a lot of nothing when it comes to any “Moahamud” ever actually existing. In fact the origibal Q’aran copy is written in Syriac or something, and the only other copy, the one they trace to today, seems to have been translated from that one other copy, and in Aramic, most of it looks like total jibberish, so for all copies thereafter someone added a slew of accent marks to try to “clean” it up. The original copy in that older language, is basically a copy of the Christian/Jewish Coptic texts.
– To scholars its pretty obvious what the Islamists did. They felt they needed a “book” so they just adapted one from an extinct religious sect.
– Thus the need to destroy anything that might conceivably out them. Also the reason for the insane drive to prevent any and all examinations of the history of all things Islam.
“They will cut off their nose to spite their face. It’s who they are; it’s what they do.”
Yup. Legend has it they are the ones who cut of the Sphinz’ nose, back in the day.
I hate seeing antiquities destroyed. When I found out Mao had burned all the great texts and scrolls in China’s libraries, I about bawled.
– Of course the average narced up bedoiun knows nothing of this and never will if the leaders can help it.
– The fact that the entire tissue if Islam seems to be based on theft of other religious texts makes them “wonderful” in the eyes of the Left. No surprise there.
I think in retaliation we should destroy the moon, because once a month, it’s a symbol of Islam.
Yes. Good.
Let’s do it.
I’d rather just steal it, and paint a huge cross on its face.
