An Egyptian jihad leader, with self-professed links to the Taliban, called for the “destruction of the Sphinx and the Giza Pyramids in Egypt,” drawing ties between the Egyptian relics and Buddha statues, local media reported this week.
Murgan Salem al-Gohary, an Islamist leader twice-sentenced under former President Hosni Mubarak for advocating violence, called on Muslims to remove such “idols.”
“All Muslims are charged with applying the teachings of Islam to remove such idols, as we did in Afghanistan when we destroyed the Buddha statues,” he said on Saturday during a television interview on an Egyptian private channel, widely watched by Egyptian and Arab audiences.
“God ordered Prophet Mohammed to destroy idols,” he added. “When I was with the Taliban we destroyed the statue of Buddha, something the government failed to do.”
His comments came a day after thousands of ultraconservative Islamists gathered in Tahrir Square to call for the strict application of Sharia law in the new constitution.

I could care less about what they destroy in raghead muslim countries.It's their country
Better yet, why don’t they just DESTROY THEMSELVES? Why not just go ahead and start killing each other, because inevitably, that’s what they’ll do anyway. All any of those subhuman peices of shit are capable of is kill, kill kill and murder, it is their “peaceful” religion! Anyone who even slightly disagrees with them dies. Make one remark about something regarding their false, and non existant “god” and they all get up in “ARMS” and start murdering, they have no minds of their own, their “imams” do the thinking for them, and they do as they are told to do, MURDER MURDER MURDER AND DESTROY EVERYTHING THEY SEE! Nothing matters to them except MURDERING AND DESTRUCTION! In the end, when they have murdered, and destroyed everything around them, they begin MURDERING EACH OTHER! I ask you, what the HELL are this bunch of mindless MURDERERS good for except MURDER????????? Not a damn thing!
