If he is going to rule via Shari'a and Sunna, why would he need a constitution? Isn't it all supposed to be in there?

Do you have a link for this story? I've been looking.....

According to several reports in the Arabic media, prominent Muslim clerics have begun to call for the demolition of Egypt's Great Pyramids—or, in the words of Saudi Sheikh Ali bin Said al-Rabi'i, those "symbols of paganism," which Egypt's Salafi party has long planned to cover with wax. Most recently, Bahrain's "Sheikh of Sunni Sheikhs" and President of National Unity, Abd al-Latif al-Mahmoud, called on Egypt's new president, Muhammad Morsi, to "destroy the Pyramids and accomplish what the Amr bin al-As could not."


Has the sun finally set for Egypt's Great Pyramids?

This is a reference to the Muslim Prophet Muhammad's companion, Amr bin al-As and his Arabian tribesmen, who invaded and conquered Egypt circa 641. Under al-As and subsequent Muslim rule, many Egyptian antiquities were destroyed as relics of infidelity. While most Western academics argue otherwise, according to early Muslim writers, the great Library of Alexandria itself—deemed a repository of pagan knowledge contradicting the Koran—was was destroyed under bin al-As's reign and in compliance with Caliph Omar's command.

I've seen that article, however the linked article in Frontpage magazine won't open and I can't find anything about it in the "Arabic media."

Frustrating.

I did finally get that link to open and, no, it's not what I'm looking for. I want to see the "Arabic media" reports used as the basis for this story.

Back to topic...

Morsi was denied the opportunity to reopen parliament so now the battle starts between the M.B. and SCAF.

I'm looking forward to fireworks.
