National Post: ISIL vows to demolish the pyramids and the sphinx amid wave of attacks on Egyptian forces

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.”
