…The Sphinx.

"As tensions rise in Egypt, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant is calling for the nation's cultural icons, like the pyramids and the sphinx, should be destroyed.

ISIL leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi reportedly said destroying the monuments was a "religious duty."

British Muslim political activist Anjem Choudary told the Telegraph: "When Egypt comes under the auspices of the Khalifa (Caliphate), there will be no more Pyramids, no more Sphinx, no more idolatry. This will be just."…"

No comment. I don't want to spend the rest of my life in the Dawghouse.

…stupidity, idiocy, complete nonsense and falling back hundreds of years back…

"…stupidity, idiocy, complete nonsense"

Yup, that's Anjem Choudary. The guy's a complete clown and as representative of British Muslims as Nick Griffin is of British Christians. He likes to play the big imam, yet has never done a single day's religious training. The real imams absolutely HATE the twunt and frequently say so, though never get quoted in the national press (unlike the beardy loon imam-walt)…

Jemima it's silly season no parliament and no wendy round ball so the papers need sommat to print or the might have to go out and find news! Don't worry some "celeb" will get caught with their boobs out or pants down and that's the last we will here of this ____head for a while.

Sounds like our "Reverend" AL.

Jemima Fawr04 Jul 2015 4:35 a.m. PST

Guys, indeed!

If I could access them from the work computer, I'd post up a photo of Choudary drinking lager, with a copy of Playboy in hand… (you can google it)

Some 'imam'.

Jemima Fawr04 Jul 2015 6:05 a.m. PST

But then who would we laugh, point and throw sausages at?

Jemima Fawr04 Jul 2015 6:07 a.m. PST

Oh yes, George Galloway… carry on…

VonTed04 Jul 2015 7:36 a.m. PST

But think of the oppression that the pyramids represent. All symbols of such oppression must be destroyed.

Now reaching the level of mustache-twisting, comic evil…

Anjem Choudary was born in Britain and is not a naturalized citizen. Britain can't kick him out of the country legally. In fact the UK authorities have confiscated his passport as part of bail conditions precisely so he can't leave.

'falling back hundreds of years back…'

Further. After all, the Prophet had the option to arrange all this vandalism had he wished – it didn't happen then…

Mind you they will have their work cut out destroying a pyramid.

skippy000104 Jul 2015 5:37 p.m. PST

Easier to bury them than blow them up.

VonTed04 Jul 2015 8:00 p.m. PST

Stack them in new and exciting ways!

Coelacanth193805 Jul 2015 2:50 a.m. PST

Maybe we can use a 3D printer to build new Sphinxes?

mashrewba05 Jul 2015 3:04 p.m. PST

Wasn't the Sphinx used as target practice in the Napoleonic Wars or is that just one of those myths?

Great War Ace05 Jul 2015 3:53 p.m. PST

If it is, I heard it too. Before Nappy arrived with his cannon, it had a face with a nose….

Tango0105 Jul 2015 11:03 p.m. PST

It was a myth my friend.

The boozing photos show that Choudhry has broken the shariah and in his own words requires a serious flogging. Since that is illegal in the UK, plus our courts don't have legitimacy in his eyes, perhaps he should be sent to Syria for 'justice'. I'd watch that video.

mashrewba06 Jul 2015 12:48 p.m. PST

Well if it's a flogging he wants a short perusal of the internet will turn up all manner of practitioners in his locale… :)

..and there won't be any Western tourists to slaughter if there's no Pyramids . You see they're just not thinking.
