Brinkley: In Egypt, Mohammed Morsi's silence speaks volumes

Mohammed Morsi has been Egypt's president for less than a month, and already senior clerics in his country and around the Islamic world are loudly calling for the demolition of the pyramids, Egypt's most important tourist attraction and among the Seven Wonders of the World.
Saudi Sheik Ali bin Said al-Rabi'i called them heinous "symbols of paganism." In recent days, similar calls have been echoing through Egypt and the region, including one from a Bahraini sheik who urged Morsi to "destroy the pyramids and accomplish what the Amr bin al-As could not." He was referring to the Prophet Muhammad's companion who conquered Egypt in the seventh century but didn't have the technological wherewithal to accomplish the task.
None of this should be too surprising. Islamic extremists are now destroying 15th century tombs in Timbuktu, world heritage sites, because they are considered "idolatrous." And remember in 2001, when the Taliban fired heavy artillery at two huge Buddha statutes carved into a rock face about 1,700 years ago. Taliban leader Mullah Omar had issued an edict against un-Islamic graven images. Numerous other examples exist, contemporary and ancient.
What's surprising is that Morsi has had nothing to say about this, not a word. Neither has he said anything about numerous "freelance" efforts to enforce other elements of Shariah law across Egypt, even though his new government hasn't said that's his plan.
Well, his extremist allies are already trying to enforce an ancient Koranic commandment that directs Islamists to collect a tax called the jizya from Coptic Christians and other "non-believers." Ahmed Imran, who was a Salafist-party candidate for office, recently declared that "Copts are obligated to pay the jizya." And as Raymond Ibrahim, an Egyptian-American author and columnist of Coptic ancestry, recently wrote: "Increasing numbers of attacks on Christians in Egypt revolve around extorting jizya."
The Koran (9/29) declares: "Fight those who do not believe in Allah" until "they give the jizyah willingly while they are humbled." Once again, Morsi has said nothing about this.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton met with Morsi on Saturday but didn't talk about these problems. The State Department sees the unresolved power struggle between Morsi and the Egyptian military as the most important issue right now.
Not surprisingly, Clinton did manage to mention the importance of Egypt's peace treaty with Israel. But I wonder if she knew that a few days earlier Mohammed Badi, the head of the Muslim Brotherhood, Morsi's own political party, loudly proclaimed during his weekly sermon that it's the duty of "every Muslim to strive to save Jerusalem from the hands of the rapists and to cleanse Palestine from the clutches of the occupation."
Once again, Morsi had nothing to say.
In Afghanistan this month, a woman accused of adultery crouched in the dirt as a friend handed her husband an AK-47 assault rifle. He shot her multiple times, continuing to fire even after she collapsed, dead, as about 150 men stood on a nearby hillside, applauding. He then posted a video of the repulsive event for the world to see. The Afghan government did nothing.
What does this have to do with Egypt? In Afghanistan, Pakistan and some other states, extremists like the man who shot his wife are free to carry out "justice" as they see fit because the government looks aside. That seems to be the way Egypt is heading, too.
Already, the Washington Post reported, Islamic extremists who have fought in Afghanistan and Pakistan are setting up militant training camps in the Sinai, obviously up to no good, while the government does nothing.
As Ibrahim told me, "People are beginning to connect the dots. Morsi just became president, and we're already seeing changes."
Speaking at Muslim Brotherhood headquarters, Morsi said: "The second Muslim conqueror of Egypt will be Mohammed Morsi," the online newspaper El Bashayer reported. "And history will record it." Morsi has not refuted that report.
So, will extremists actually blow up the pyramids? After the Bahraini sheik's remarks went viral, he improbably denied making them. But Egyptian media reports say Salafist party officials want Egypt's new constitution to demand "the demolition of the Pyramids of Giza as they represent a symbol of unbelief." Already, Abdel Moneim al-Shahat, the Salafist-party spokesman, is advocating at least covering them with wax so all anyone will see "is a big blob," as Ibrahim put it.
But under the hot desert sun, the wax would melt in no time, possibly bringing calls for more extreme measures. If and when that happens, will Morsi, once again, simply look away?

在埃及，穆罕默德.穆尔西的沉默意味深长
图片来源：美联社|新当选埃及总统穆罕默德·穆尔西，在埃塞俄比亚亚的斯亚贝巴的非洲联盟首脑会议中心的代表发言。 （2012年7月15日）
穆罕默德。穆尔西当选埃及总统不到一个月的时间，在他的国家和伊斯兰世界各地的高级神职人员都大声呼吁拆迁金字塔，这是埃及最重要的旅游景点，并跻身于世界七大奇观。
沙特谢赫·阿里·本说，AL-Rabi'（大概是指征服埃及的阿拉伯将军）i称它们（指金字塔）为十恶不赦的“异教符号。”在最近几天，类似的呼吁一直回响在埃及和其他地区，其中包括巴林酋长呼吁：“破坏金字塔以完成本al-as以前不能完成的任务。”他指的是先知穆罕默德的同伴在七世纪征服埃及，但没有技术能力完成任务(指拆了金字塔)。
这一切都不应该太奇怪。伊斯兰极端分子正在破坏15世纪在廷巴克图的古墓，世界遗产，因为它们被认为是“偶像崇拜。”记得在2001年，当塔利班的重型火 炮发射摧毁了约1700年前的两个巨大的佛像雕刻成岩壁。塔利班领导人奥马尔已颁布法令对非伊斯兰雕刻的偶像进行摧毁。也有许多其他的例子存在，在现代和 古代。
令人惊讶的是，穆尔西关于这一点没什么可说的，不发一言。无论他说什么了众多的“自由”努力执行其他要素，伊斯兰教法存在于埃及，尽管他的新政府没有说这是他的计划。
嗯，他的极端主义盟友已经开始尝试执行一个古老的“古兰经诫命，指示向科普特基督徒和其他的非信徒们收集称为jizya税”。伊斯兰主义者，“伊姆 兰·艾哈迈德，是办公室萨拉菲斯特党候选人，最近宣布：“科普特人有义务支付jizya。”雷蒙德·易卜拉欣，埃及科普特人血统的美国作家和专栏作家，最 近写道：“对埃及的基督徒的袭击越来越多，围绕着勒索jizya。”（jizya是什么？以前伊斯兰曾向异教徒收人头税，是不是这个？我查了谷歌和百度都 不知道）
古兰经（9/29）说：“打那些不信真主的异教徒”直到“当他们谦卑自愿的给jizyah为止。”而穆尔西说对这件事一无所知。
美国国务卿希拉里·克林顿上周六与穆尔西会晤，但没有谈论这些问题。国务院认为，现在最重要的问题悬而未决之间穆尔西和埃及的军事权力斗争。
这并不奇怪，克林顿没提埃及与以色列的和平条约的重要性。但我不知道，如果她知道，几天前穆罕默德·巴迪，“MSL兄弟会，穆尔西的自己的政治党的头，大 声在他每周讲道时宣布，它的职责是“每一个MSL必须努力从占领巴勒斯坦的强奸犯和种族清洗者手中，拯救耶路撒冷。”（大概是指代以色列）
再次，穆尔西没什么可说的。
本月初，一名在阿富汗被指控通奸的女人蹲在泥土里，一个朋友递给她的丈夫一支AK-47突击步枪。他开枪多次，持续射击后她倒下，死亡，约150人站在附近山坡上，鼓掌。然后他发布了一段丑恶事件的视频给世界看。阿富汗政府没有谴责。
这是什么做与埃及？在阿富汗，巴基斯坦和其他一些国家，像这位男子的极端分子枪杀了他的妻子是免费开展的“公正”，因为他们认为这样做是合适的，因为政府在一旁看。这似乎就是埃及的标题，沉默。
目前，“华盛顿邮报”报道，争取在阿富汗和巴基斯坦搞圣战的伊斯兰极端分子在西奈半岛设立了武装分子训练营地，显然没有好起来，而政府什么也不做。
易卜拉欣告诉我，“人们都开始连接点。穆尔西刚刚就任总统后，我们已经看到了变化。”
“在线报纸El Bashayer报道，在MSL兄弟会总部时，穆尔西说：“历史会记录下来，第二个埃及MSL征服者将是穆尔西.穆罕默德。” 穆尔西没有驳斥了这份报告。
所以，实际上会极端分子会炸毁金字塔？之后，在巴林酋长的发言过后，他不可能拒绝让他们炸。但埃及媒体报道说萨拉菲斯特官员希望埃及的新宪法要求“拆迁吉 萨金字塔，因为它们代表了不信真主的象征。”目前，阿卜杜勒·穆奈姆AL-Shahat，萨拉菲斯特党发言人，提倡用蜡覆盖，让所有的人将看到“它只是一 个大一点的容器，”易卜拉欣说应把它至少如此。
但在炎热的沙漠烈日下，蜡会在任何时候融化，可能需要更多的极端措施来解决。如果当这种情况发生，穆尔西，将再次，只需远远地观看吗？

评论只有一个：
剑鱼 1天以前
这仅仅是个开始 - 只是等待和观望“所有的”美好的事物，这些新解放的国家在完成时，影响他们的主要是由MSL神职人员。
