Egyptian Salafi Sheik Calls to Destroy Pyramids


Dear V.K. Durham,  

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...
