This is a parody Twitter account of Al-Mahmoud who tweeted the statement on the same day Morsy was announced president of Egypt.
Another hoax: cleric calls on President Morsy to destroy Giza Pyramids
Calls from a Bahraini Sunni cleric urging President Mohamed Morsy to destroy the Giza Pyramids were issued from a parody Twitter account online, the Daily News Egypt has learned.
Several right wing online portals ran with the controversial news as a means to raise alarms over the rise of an Islamist-led government in Egypt and its threat to rich historical sites. According to the rumours, Shiek Abd Al-Latif Al-Mahmoud denounced the pyramids as idolatry and asked President Morsy to destroy them.
Following a pattern of news based on hoaxes meant to incite panic about Islamists, this latest item suggests the method is effective in garnering media widesoread interest.

So, are they only going to destroy the 3 most popular pyramids or are they gonna destroy all of the Egyptian pyramids. There are literally thousands of them scattered throughout the Egyptian badlands, recently discovered using satellite imagery. Are they gonna stop in Egypt? What about the pyramids in South America? Las Vegas? Whats next? The Sistine Chapel?
I'm gonna toss this one in my bogus bin. They are not gonna destroy anything but their own reputations.

At least I'm not the only one that does a little bit of investigation before making comments

I give it a successful troll award. Should probably go into the top 10 political troll hall of fame.

Has Morsi or the Cleric publicly confirmed the hoax. If not, that would be a bit weird, unless they are waiting to see if the reaction to the 'hoax' is soft enough to actually go ahead and do the deed

Re "as far as the Pyramids, i believe they are protected as a World Heritage site "
As if the crazy muzzies will respect something like that. They only know three things. Destroy, destroy, destroy

If Muslims as a whole descrated the pyramids to the point of demolition, they would probably never survive the worldwide backlash that would result.

Oh yeah of course back then there were a lot religious strife within Christianity, including the crusades. At the moment, Islam is the only religion on Earth that is causing strife overtly - globally. Yes the west is causing problems in the middle east and there are unfortunate occasions where innocents die.
But It seems like wherever theres a large population of Muslims in any country, trouble follows. It's fact.
Unfortunately you have a limited understanding of history or current affairs. You only need to look at what the West has done in the last hundred years to understand the savagery of the decedents of Ice Age cannibals.
The colonial activities by the Western powers in the Middle East and Africa has been devastating and continues to this day. The killing of over 1 million Iraqis by US is something every American needs to reflect on.
Your perceptions are so distorted you think there is a problem where you find large groups of Muslims while not realising that it is in fact the American-Israelo Axis in the Middle East causing problems.
You also forget about zionofascist rabble rousers like Pamela Geller (Jew), EDL Jewish Division James Cohen (Jew) and Senator Peter King inquisitor general of American Muslims amongst other shambolic characters.
Most decent people understand zionofascists and they will served their comeuppance.

It has never been proven that Pyramids were tombs.

Losing one of the planet's man made wonders would be an absolute travesty. Losing them to sheer and utter ignorance would be even worse.
However, if this were to occur, think about all of the secret/lost chambers in these structures that would suddenly be revealed. Whatever gold, jewels, and secrets they contain would finally be known, and that is exciting in its own right.
The little history buff in me is simultaneously horrified and fascinated.
Are you for real?
These places were built as final resting places for Pharaohs.
No amount of gold, jewels, or secrets could make me excited about someone blowing them to smithereens.
