Last night Wael Al Abrashi hosted a radical Salafist called Morgan El Gohary from Jihadist Salafist leaderships in Egypt on Dream TV2 . This man used to fight with Taliban in Afghanistan and he recounts proudly how he participated with that radical group in blowing up the Buddha statue there in 2001.
Now this man is saying that the Jihadist Salafists in Egypt will destroy the Sphinx and the Pyramids as well all other ancient statues in Egypt because they should be destroyed. His logic is that these statues were once worshipped and could be worshipped again.
Al Abrashi was hosting also a Tunisian Sheikh , Abdel Fatah Al Mourou, the co-founder of Al Nahada movement in Tunisia. That moderate Sheikh was shocked on the amount of ignorance sitting in front of him trying to debate him in common sense but what you know !!
For example :
Sheikh Al Mourou told Morgan that the old Muslims that came to Egypt from 14 centuries ago did not destroy the ancient Egyptian monuments and the answer of Morgan was : They did not have modern strong weapons !!!!
Seriously I do not feel good especially when I think with the amount of illegal arms these radicals got. Shall we ask for official protection from the Egyptian police or even from the international community to save world heritage from destruction after what happened in Iraq and Syria !? Shall we form popular groups to protect out monuments
I believe that Morgan and his friends got no place in Egypt , they can return to Afghanistan and do not preach me on the Freedom of speech to the right of citizenship because Morgan and co. believe in none.
Whoever let these guys out of their caves speaking to the media like that is doing a great job in scaring us all. The message is received.
I think you should visit the Giza Plateau as well other areas in Egypt that are full of ancient Egyptian monuments like Luxor and Aswan while you can. This could be our new Egyptian tourism authority’s marketing campaign !!
p.s : Sheikh Al Mourou impressed everybody in Egypt last night even Mubarak and Omar Suleiman's orphans

Morgan : We want to destroy the sphinx and the pyramids

Update :
Concerned citizens spoke with Ikhwan Web, the English account of the MB on twitter regarding that wacko job who wants to demolish the pyramids and sphinx and this was the MB's answer.

The problem is that Jihadist Salafists consider MB as infidels !!
Ok as Egyptians we always create jokes from own misery , below two cartoons about that call to demolish our heritage.They got the same idea but they are funny in their own way.
And you got that Meme circulating on the Facebook
The Egyptians are extremely angry for these calls as they believe it is some sort of madness but some fear from these groups and they have to.
Again those who released them from their caves are playing their game of horror well because many think that the Old state security was doing a great job in keeping them away. The game is perfectly played but unfortunately it is like playing with the fire. This fire can burn us all !!
