Dr. Pipes,

It seems that, and at last, Egyptians want the Rosetta Stone back to where it belongs and that is Egypt

I happen to believe that the Rosetta Stone should be returned to Egypt, because this is where it belongs. However, the British Museum has done a good job in preserving it. And what could happen to the Rosetta Stone if the fanatics of the Muslim Brotherhood are back in power again. We know what these fanatics did to the wonderful Malawi Museum in Minya, which was looted and the Islamic Museum in Cairo which sustained damage when the Muslim Brotherhood was in power a few years ago.
