"His exact cause of death is not clear, but a popular assumption is that Jahiz died in his private library after one of many large piles of books fell on him, killing him instantly."
More likely he was assassinated because he dared to laugh.
“... The suspected killers obviously reflect a tiny minority of extreme religious fanatics, but the question made us wonder:...”
Yes, folks, the NPR minions really like lying to us, because they KNOW that the above statement is a tremendous pile of bull-Obamastuff.
Make something taboo and it’s the first thing people will want to do.
Actually, it's not at all obvious.
The seventh century was devoid of humor and that is where the muzzies live.
***In a golden era for Islamic music, art and science, Jahiz studied everything from zoology to literary theory.***

The Prophet has commanded us
to rule the world.
Where in all your land of Spain
is the glory of Allah?
When men speak of you,
they speak of poets...
music makers, doctors, scientists.
Where are your warriors?
You dare call yourselves
sons of the Prophet?
You have become women!
Burn your books.
Make warriors of your poets.
Let your doctors invent
new poisons for our arrows.
Let your scientists
invent new war machines.
And then, kill!
Burn.
Infidels live on your frontiers.
Encourage them to kill each other.
And when they are weak and torn...
I will sweep up from Africa...
and thus the empire of the one God,
the true God Allah...
- Allah is the one God.
- will spread.
First, across Spain.
Then, across Europe.
Then, the whole world!
No, the muslim world is the one conquered by Islamic hordes and forced to submit to Sharia law. It is a system of theocratic rule.
The "Christian world" is not a unified concept. There is a shared faith. Western civilization got where it is because of it's Christian foundation and the Left has sought to tear that down for the same reasons. And the "Western world" exporting Christian missionaries was considered a BAD thing to alter the native cultures.
NPR, shilling for Communist and Islamist imperialism for nearly half a century.
The key here is that their “Golden Era” was the 9th century.
