I wonder when the Muslims are going to start tearing down the pyramids since they are nothing more than idolatrous systems of a pagan religion.

I visited Egypt in 1983 and 1985. It is a wonderful place for people interested in History. There are so many temples, tombs, palaces, etc. that are significantly intact. The desert has covered many items and protected them until archaeologist discovered them in these past 100 years.

One unfortunate thing, many of the temples and tombs that included the ancient hieroglyphics and carvings of ancient gods were damaged by early Christians.

Already started. :') The story goes that one of the caliphs decided to tear down the pyramids because, well, what you said. He started with Menkaure's, which is the smallest of the three large Giza pyramids. After some months there was some damage (visible today), but the time calculated for completion of demolition just of Menkaure's was very, very much longer than could be afforded.
