The Islamic State’s destruction isn’t limited to the battlefield. The group has vowed to rid the world of anything non-Muslim, including ancient ruins — and ISIS often follows up with their destructive promises.
Now, the group has set their targets on a world heritage site — The Egyptian pyramids.
“A new video making the rounds of Islamic State social media forums allegedly shows operatives of the terror state blowing up a 2,500-year-old temple to Nabu, the Babylonian god of wisdom, along with other historic sites near the captive Iraqi city of Mosul,” Breitbart reported Thursday.

It doesn’t end there. According to The Daily Mail, “The final scene in the ten-minute video shows the Great Pyramid of Giza near Egypt’s capital, Cairo and a fanatic pledging to blow up ‘ancient sites built by the infidels’.”
Egyptian authorities have been battling “a powerful local affiliate of the Islamic State” for some time in the troubled Sinai Peninsula, according to the Associated Press. Could manage to blow to blow up the 4,500 year old pyramids?
Some experts consider the threat credible. Despite recent military setbacks in Iraq and Syriah, the Islamic terror group hasn’t been weakened strategically or irreversibly, according to Undersecretary-General Jeffrey Feltman.
Feltman told the U.N. Security Council Wednesday that the threat posed by ISIS and its associates “remains high and continues to diversify,” and went on to say that ISIS may be moving to a new phase, elevating the role of its affiliates, moving funds out of conflict areas, “and increasing the risk of complex, multi-wave and international attacks.”
rodger says
if they do attempt an damage they pyramids, they will have the whole world on them, an they will be wiped out,
Sal says
They should have already been wiped out. This is only going to get worse. A lot worse. Where is the American leadership when we need it? Oh yeah, funding these barbarians.
STJ says
What American leadership ?. At present the US President Obama acts precisely as a Muslim would
Its pretty obvious by his actions that he wishes to tear down the USA and its long held values that made the nation great exactly as a Muslim would.
David Dolcater says
Nonsense; as much damage as they have already caused makes it more than justifiable for them to be “wiped out”.
True, the world will be angry, but if there hasn’t been a world-wide effort to stop ISIS by now, there won’t be one.
me says
Please, please don’t. It’s been a dream of mine all my 50 yrs to visit Egypt. To see the greastest wonder of the world is like a dream come true.
Peter says
Well, I guess Egypt better do something about it!
PattieA says
And REALLY, REALLY SOON!
Aline says
Our ‘ government ‘ should wipe out ALL the ISIS training camps in this country! Why has this not being taken care of? I guess he wants an arab nation! What a piece of…work:(
Rob says
The earth isn’t Muslim so soon they will destroy it too where are the brave people who gave these Saran sucking scum such power?
Richard says
Americans and our government leaders have become too passive. We have stopped the death penalty for those who have been convicted of the most horrendous crimes but women line up at the abortion clinics to have their unborn babies mercilessly killed by pulling them apart limb by limb, because they just are not wanted. What kind of person could give their consent to such a thing? The past 77 years haven’t changed us either. 1939 Hitler and the NAZI’S were massacring Jews by firing squad and before cremating their bodies removed the gold fillings, and the rest were condemned to concentration camps. We didn’t come to the aid of those Jews until 1941. Then it took citizens from all over the world 4 plus years and many died attempting to eliminate the Nazi’s.
Jerry says
They wreck the pyramids there goes Egypt and any tourism. If America had a Man with a backbone for President, ISIS would not exsist. They would never have started. But these are Obammy’s butt babies there his Children Obammy created ISIS. Obammy is a Muslim
Protonius says
Harry “The Buck Stops Here” Truman, if he — instead the The Feckless One — had been in Office now, would have n/u*ked these murderous savages, one-by-one if need be, to radioactive smithereens by now.
EDMUND STASO says
Obama would just say so what, you didn’t make that
Then he would laugh
DustyFae says
It is unsafe to visit the Middle East. They lose millions in Tourists… And then what ? They can Kill every one and still kill their own
They are doing the same here in USA and destroying all things Christian.
Removing statues that been there for years….
Even the Muslims own life were build on Slavery they stole Knowledge from the Slaves, burn libraries
They are banning books like the Bible , what is any different, burn down our Libraries and Schools and Churches..
What the Heck, no one can afford to visit the Middle East any more.. Many are on the NO Fly list..
Can not even talk about Jesus and the Bible on many sites here in USA Censorship.
Ralph Ormsbee says
I would Love for them to try that for the people they are dealing with will kill them no questions asked
Justin W says
Egypt should send a message to Islamic extremist by banning Islam from Egypt. They should shut down the mosques, ban Islamic clothing, Islamic holidays and Islamic worship. Islam is a religion intent on destruction. The best way for governments to deal with this evil religion is to ban it in all forms.
Islam’s idea of a utopia is a place of poverty, misery, oppression and violence. If you support Islam you support this mindset.
Constitutionalist says
Justin-
Personally, i think you have a great idea, but i don’t think they’d ever do that there.
What might work is what i suggested for THIS country: to ban the teaching, sharing, implementation or imposition of Shar’ia law on anyone, on pain of immediate deportation.
If they riot, shoot ’em down. Muslims understand that, very very well. If they protest, lock ’em up. All of ’em involved.
If they complain, just tell ’em “Look, Egypt has laws that Shar’ia subverts. We don’t like Shar’ia, and will NOT implement it. If you want it, go where it already exists. We ain’t having none of it here.”
Except for the “shoot ’em down” part, we should have a similar law in place here. That would fix the majority of the Muslim problems we have, as when they came here, were welcomed into this country, in fact, they agreed to abide by OUR laws, not impose their OWN.

The Russians tried to destroy the Pyramids at Gizza with their newly designed Conjugate Radar System call the “Grass Hopper”, but they were unsuccessful resulting in a Massive Earthquake in Southern Russia near the Black Sea in the 1970’s! The Pyramids of Gizza, Egypt are being protected by the Brotherhood of Light including Master Enoch who was sent by YAHWEH Jehoovah! Master Enoch is the 7th Generation from Adam and Eve was responsible for the design and building of the Great Pyramid which is a Historical Time Capsule of Mankind and is protected by the Father’s Ain Sofp Light! All of this information can be found in the Holy Kaballah, or the Higher Teachings of the Divine Science of the Higher Universes! Kodoish, Kodoish, Kodoish Adonai ‘Tsebayoth!!
Constitutionalist says
RonnyG-
Forgive me, but everything you just wrote sounds nutzo, ‘roun’ the bend, nutbar-with-sprinkles crazy.
The Father i recognize sent lots of plagues on Egypt, and condemned their form of governance completely forbidding His people to practice any part of it.
Zinka says
….. Came up, the word, to a new phase of competition for the future most numerous country in the Middle East would survival whose side civilization or fall into the darkness of Islamic could be decisive for the fate of the rest of the world.
Terrorist attacks on target’s in Sinjaju and over it are nothing new, since it is these atrocities is measured in the hundreds in recent days year.
Even during the Muslim brothers could be heard voice that could for the destruction of the Pyramid and all the monument of Pharaoh’s past.
If islamisti come to power and passionate of Brothers Muslim they will not take about it, as we do not talk is not about Palmyra.
They will affect. Destructive.
Percent so only they know.
Enanilluc says
Shades of George Orwell’s 1984. The destruction of the USA will come from within. History will note that the 43rd-44th president tried to make the USA into an Islamic/ Muslim country in his 8 years in office. Let’s hope he does’nt succeed in his last few months in officE. HILARY for the BIG HOUSE. TRUMP for the WHITE HOUSE. Enanilluc.
Arthur Hartsock says
There are already many reasons for American/Western tourists to avoid Middle East. Destruction of pyramids would be the last straw. No reason left to visit that region. I guess I’ll just visit Northern Minnesota’s lake territory. Worst thing there might be an occasional sighting of Jesse Ventura.
froggy57 says
Time to make a glass table top out of that part of the world and rid humanity of the Islamic plague. If Donald tries to reason or negotiate with those folks he will soon find that bombs and bullets are the only language spoken there. On the other hand, there are lots of them here already, and fertilizer is easy to come by. There are truckloads of it in D.C. So why aren’t they blowing up sports stadiums with 20 thousand people in them? Why aren’t they blowing up gay parades? Why aren’t suicide bombers blowing up crowded malls? Something smells fishy here. Maybe they are only blowing up what they are told to by their master, Obama, to take attention away from the circus POTUS election, or what ever else they are up to?
