Does Religious Law Permit Visiting Egyptian Pyramids?

#6 It's only a matter of time before the pyramids go the way of the Bamiyan statues.

They already tried. One of the early Muslim rulers of Egypt declared the pyramids offensive, and assembled an army of slaves to demolish them. Eventually, he gave it up as too expensive.

But, still, why is it they're not allowed to enter Egyptian sites (without intent to destroy them, at least), yet can wander all around the West, with all our kuffr symbols?

Hell, you'd think New York would be completely free of Muslims, given the great big statue of a woman looming over the place.

#5 Word, Excal. Anyone who doubts this needs to remember something.

Above is an image from the Masjid Grand Mosque in Mecca, home of Islam's revered Kaba. See all that beautiful interior decoration? The Wahabbis would just as soon chisel it from every wall of the mosque because such embellishment and adornment represent idolatry to them. If they are so eager to deface even their own most holy place of worship, what fate awaits Infidel temples like Notre Dame, Saint Paul's Cathedral, Angkor Wat, the Tiger's Nest or untold thousands of other world heritage sites?

We are confronted with the world's most destructive cult imaginable. Neither communism nor Nazism would have dreamt of demolishing these precious relics of civilization. Islam wouldn't even think twice.

Based solely upon shari'a law's inhumanity alone, Western civilization must regard the liberation of Muslims from their tyrannous cult as our solemn duty to mankind.

#4 as Abraham did to statues - he entered the place where they stood, and smashed them.

The Jewish version of the tale has the child Abram (before he modified his name) smashing the clay statuettes in his father's shop, his father being a statuette maker. Not destroying the possessions of others, or of history.

#3 Which is why we have to smash islam. It is that or be the generation to annihilate 7000 years of Egyptian history. That is a crime which would echo down to the end of us as a species. Ten thousand years from now we would be remembered as the generation that allowed the crime to happen.

#2 Archeological sites contain graven images, and it is forbidden to enter a place containing pictures or graven images, unless with the purpose of defacing them, as Abraham did to statues - he entered the place where they stood, and smashed them.

It's only a matter of time before the pyramids go the way of the Bamiyan statues.

#1 Only if you kill an infidel while there.
