I doubt it. Tombouctou is strickly islamic, anything sacrilegious was/is/will be destroyed.
Out good friend Qadaffi is spending $ 800M to built a mosque there, allegedly his mother was from Timbuktu. His goal is to have that region break away from the rest of Mali.
That's a mighty nice thing to do for Limbaugh. I didn't know that The Rush was into that old crumbling manuscripts stuff.
Timbuktu and back -— ping
Interesting. Of the groups that are “rushing” to preserve these manuscripts, how many are Islamic and how many are from the infidels?
Fascinating. Educational. Thanks for posting.
