Because Muslims do not build and advance; they kill and destroy. And this is only in keeping with that ancient, time-tested trend. From FrontPageMag.com:

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 Sahabi Amr bin al-As could not.”

Currently, in what the International Criminal Court is describing as a possible “war crime,” Islamic fanatics are destroying the ancient heritage of the city of Timbuktu in Mali—all to Islam’s triumphant war cry, “Allahu Akbar!”

Much of this hate for their own pre-Islamic heritage is tied to the fact that, traditionally, Muslims do not identify with this or that nation, culture, heritage, or language, but only with the Islamic nation—the Umma.

Accordingly, while many Egyptians—Muslims and non-Muslims alike—see themselves as Egyptians, Islamists have no national identity, identifying only with Islam’s “culture,” based on the “sunna” of the prophet and Islam’s language, Arabic. This sentiment was clearly reflected when the former Leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, Muhammad Akef, declared “the hell with Egypt,” indicating that the interests of his country are secondary to Islam’s.

I once again proffer what history and time have managed to immure regarding the bulk of Islam as predominantly practiced in the Middle East: it is a religion of death, oppression, violence and misogyny, adhered-to by barbarians, the ignorant, the soft-brained, the tribal, the feudal, with this in primary mind:

Me against my brother, me and my brother against my cousins; me, my brother and my cousins against our nonrelatives; me, my brother, my cousins and friends against our enemies in the village; all of these and the whole village against the next village.”

And let us not forget taqqiyah.

This is already occurring in Britain:

From the UK MailOnline:

Islamic extremists have called on British Muslims to establish three independent states within the UK.

The notorious Muslims Against the Crusades (MAC) group have named Yorkshire towns Bradford and Dewsbury and Tower Hamlets in East London as testbeds for blanket sharia rule.

The medieval ’emirates’ would operate entirely outside British law, according to a document on the MAC website.

And did we ever think of this?

Egypt is about to be in control, under Muslim Brotherhood rule, of the Suez Canal.

Uh, no; not about to be. It is under “President” Morsi — a member of the Muslim Brotherhood himself. See above.

Let me get down to even more fundamental basics, the first aspect of which is widely-known to American soldiers serving in the Middle East:

Women are for procreation; men are for pleasure. The epitome of religious hypocrisy but — shhhh — don’t speak of the obvious.

And finally, as I’ve written for years: “Islam is as Islam does.”

Period.

If you’re female, Islam has some great plans for you. Unfortunately, most of them involve pain, violence, clitorectomies, subservience, honor killings, nose carvings and beatings.
