The author forgot to mention the 2001 destruction of the Bamiyan Buddhas in Afghanistan as a recent example of the criminal mindset of these fanatics:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhas_of_Bamyan
They want to destroy them because, let’s face it, Islamic leaders are just too stupid and self absorbed to create anything worth while themselves and they are jealous that someone several thousand years ago did what they cannot do now.
Islam is the religion of hate. They don’t create, they destroy. They know not of love, only hate. I’d feel sorry for them except that they like to murder far too much. They don’t understand compassion or love at all. The only thing they understand is hate and fear.
To that end, the next time a terrorist attack is committed on the US by those of the Islamic faith, we need to nuke Mecca to get it through their thick skulls to cut the crap out or else. I don’t see it happening but if you put that kind of fear into them, maybe, just maybe they’ll get a clue.
Well, if it will get Zawi Hawass of the History Channel.....
The article said that is a western myth. The Arab Islamic conquerors did it in the 7th century.......
On that thread, IIRC, my remarks preceded the "Arab Spring," I predicted the pyramids and sphinx would go the way of the Bamiyan Buddhas...
I say go for it and give away the rocks.
We wandered around Egypt a few years ago. There are many pyramids, other gravesites, temples, monoliths and so forth. I believe the only reason the people there haven’t stolen, sold or taken the sites down is that they are too numerous and too large for their simple society to destroy. Maybe that will change under the nobama/klintoon “arab spring”. Unfortunate for all.
Now I don't CAIR who you are, oh grand mufti and great Sheik Ali Babba, that is funnnnny!
"Symbols of PAGANASIM?"
And what exactly would you call that "BLACK METEORITE Y'ALL 'WORSHIP' WHILE MAKING YOUR 'PILGRAMAGE' (HAJJ) TO MECCA?"
The Black Stone is a Muslim relic, which according to Islamic tradition dates back to the time of Adam and Eve. Historical research claims that the Black Stone marked the Kaaba as a place of worship during pre-Islamic pagan times. It is the eastern cornerstone of the Kaaba, the ancient stone building towards which Muslims pray, in the center of the Grand Mosque in Mecca, Saudi Arabia.
The Stone is a dark rock, polished smooth by the hands of millions of pilgrims, that has been broken into a number of fragments cemented into a silver frame in the side of the Kaaba.
Although it has often been described as a meteorite, this hypothesis is still under consideration.
Muslim pilgrims circle the Kaaba as part of the Tawaf ritual of the Hajj.
Many of them try, if possible, to stop and kiss the Black Stone, emulating the kiss that Islamic tradition records that it received from the Islamic Prophet Muhammad. If they cannot reach it, they point to it on each of their seven circuits around the Kaaba.
Historians point to the history of stone worship, and especially meteorite worship, in pre-Islamic Arabia, by many PAGAN TRIBES and say that it is likely that the Stone is a meteorite. There is no way to test this hypothesis without removing and examining the Stone, which would not be permitted by its guardians.
There is no indication as to where this stone originated, but since it pre-dates the revelation of the Holy Qur’an and Muhammad’s prophethood, and even kissed, it must stem from the time of Abraham since the Hajj traditions are traceable to the patriarch of monotheism.
Some Muslims are more willing to believe that the Stone itself has some supernatural powers. They believe that this stone fell from the sky during the time of Adam and Eve, and that it has the power to cleanse worshippers of their sins by absorbing them into itself. They say that the Black Stone was once a pure and dazzling white and it has turned black because of the sins it has absorbed over the years.
The insanity of Islam on full display.
I would have difficulty believing that an officer of a Western army would willingly desecrate a great work of art for the fun of it.
Egypt needs a large Dept of History Rewrite.
Have they claimed that the Pyramids were built by the Jooos as a symbol of the subjugation of poor innocent Muslims yet?
probably a meteor.
I find it amusing the radicals will revere this from their history but attack anything that is not from their era.
Warring tribes would “wipe out the history” of their enemies as a means of preventing heirs from arrising. This is just the same. My building is better than your building.
No you can’t go back to Constantinople.
Why would anyone in their right minds visit a Muslim country in the first place?
You are aware of the fact that pigs can now fly right?????
(THX to the Libinsanity permeating even the FAA.)
Beating and enslaving women, destroying priceless historical artifacts, forcing their repellent behavior on other people, blowing up civilians, etc.etc.
THIS is the Face of Islam and the Face of the overwhelming number of religious Muslims.
And they need to be stopped - PERMANENTLY or their maniacal religion will either destroy the world or change it into a total wasteland.
Liberals AND conservatives SHOULD be on the SAME TRAIN on this one. But they are NOT. AS usual, too many liberals and phonys who claim they are conservatives are NOT, and like Chamberlain, think they can reach an accord with madmen.
History has proved them WRONG - time and time again.
I wouldn’t be so quick to rip it open. Who knows? The middle eastern version of Godzilla might be in there.
Not a big fan of modern history are you?
