The Pharaohs Discovered Australia, Egyptians Have Legal Rights There
During a recent TV debate on the destruction of antiquities by ISIS, Syrian political analyst Yahya Badr said that the Egyptian people was entitled to claim legal rights in Australia, since inscriptions in ancient hieroglyphics had been found near Sydney, indicating that the grandson of a pharoah had landed there. On the show, which aired on the Turkish TRT TV channel on March 6, Badr was introduced as owning the patent to mummy technology. (MEMRI TV Transcript below the fold).

Britain Surrenders
The Fourth Reich
Nobel laureate V.S. Naipaul:
Isis is dedicated to a contemporary holocaust. It has pledged itself to the murder of Shias, Jews, Christians, Copts, Yazidis and anyone it can, however fancifully, accuse of being a spy. It has wiped out the civilian populations of whole regions and towns. Isis could very credibly abandon the label of Caliphate and call itself the Fourth Reich. (Andrew Bolt)

It’s Islamic State’s wedding of the year:
Khaled Sharrouf’s teenage daughter has boasted about marrying his best mate Mohamed Elomar and posted photos of her young brother and a Yazidi slave child kneeling next to AK-47s.
Must have been a wonderful wedding reception. It isn’t often that the head table features actual heads. And for the bridal waltz, celebrating the groom’s future encounter with incendiary Peshmerga artillery: Sharrouf, Sharrouf, Sharrouf Is On Fire.
A Twitter account linked to the 14-year-old girl, who The Daily Telegraph has decided not to name, has claimed she is married to notorious Islamic State murderer Elomar, also known as Abu Hafs al Australi.
Sharrouf’s daughter has maintained an active presence online since arriving in Syria with her four siblings. The Australian has previously reported that Sharrouf’s eldest daughter liked Sandra Bullock and was worried about the environment.
Her main concern about the environment is that there’s not enough dead infidels in it.

“The Pharaohs Discovered Australia, Egyptians Have Legal Rights There..”
This arab is almost apoplexic in descriing the supposed ‘Egyptian’ hieroglyphics north of Sydney. However, as usual, these Egyptian claims to Australia are as spurious as Mo’s claim to Jerusalem – although it has to be said that at least Egypt did have boats capable of sailing at least the Mediterranean – whereas as far as we know – there is no such thing as a flying winged horse,.
Firstly – the suppoed hieroglyphs are north of Sydney near the coastal town of Gosford – not in the Hunter Valley – which is well away from there.
Secondly – there is no Australian egyptologist named ‘Ray Johnson’ – see https://www.facebook.com/karionghieroglyphs/posts/617025865008156
This hoax has been well researched. See

I know….I know……the overtones of violence in the video below will have the heads of Thought Police exploding from El Paso to Inuvik………..mea culpa…..
Hello there…….its me again…….Don Laird……
Here’s a clip from the movie Tombstone……
A perfect line that can be applied to the Crusades…….
“I beg to differ sir, we started a game we never got to finish, play for blood, remember?……….
The fact remains that the Crusades were a very effective form of pest control, a medieval form of pest control. Just imagine the breathtaking magnificence of that same program in the hands of those who finally lose their patience and saddle up once more……….breathtaking and magnificent it will be.

As someone descended from both Jews AND Vikings, I take great offense at this headline!
Everyone knows the Vikings started all that “Glorious Death in Battle!” stuff (going to Valhalla) and of course the pussy muslims are nothing but later-day wannabe imitators.
Besides, everyone also knows that the Vikings freed Sicily from islam, and ruled there for a time. The ring must have been plunder.
And finally, the article says:
“The silver ring, recovered from a wooden coffin containing the skeleton of a female buried about 850 A.D., was originally found during excavations between 1872 and 1895 of graves at the Viking age trading center of Birka on Björkö Island near the Swedish capital of Stockholm. But scientists using a scanning electron microscope have only recently discovered the Arabic Kufic inscription “Inshallah” was inscribed on the ring, Swedish media reported on Thursday. Sebastian Wärmländer, biophysicist of Stockholm University, told Discovery News: “It’s the only ring with an Arabic inscription found in Scandinavia. “We have a few other Arabic-style rings, but without inscriptions.”
Uh-oh – the name ALLAH discovered in 850AD?!
This puts an end to Ibn Warraq and Robert Spencer’s speculations that islam didn’t really exist in 700AD, and that the name “Allah” didn’t crop up ANYWHERE until much much later!
😉
Uncle Vladdi, that gives a 150 year gap, during which use of “Allah” as the name for God might have spread, even if the religion (that is now called “Islam”) was different back then; maybe it was barely nascent. Isn’t it possible that something that we might recognise as “Islam” started in that 150 year gap? Maybe we might fairly refer to __150 years later__ as “much, much later”?
