#1 "...without any cementing material."

I had never heard that tidbit before.

#2 Getting permission may not be easy unless they promise to get the head of the antiquities departments plenty of face time on TV. He likes being the "Star."

#3 It wasn't immediately clear, from Najib's remarks or news reports, why an Egyptian pyramid - which predates Islam by thousands of years - was chosen for the project.

Duh! For the same freakin' reason they can claim that the Wailing Wall and the Temple Mount have always been Muslim sites - because they can (rewrite history to suit themselves and their dimwitted take on history)!

It doesn't matter that the Temple also predates Mohammad by at least a thousand years. It doesn't matter that the Great Pyramid predates Mohammed by at least 5 thousand years. They're obviously Muslim artifacts handed down by Allah thousands of years before Khufu and the Hebrews slaved to build the edifices.

#4 the flags of the world's 57 Muslim countries

Not meaning to change the subject, but I can't help wondering how many of those 57 show up on the Guinness list of the World's Most Suckiest Countries.
