Extremists burn ancient texts in Mali
The Associated Press Posted Jan 28, 2013 @ 07:32 AMSEVARE, Mali (AP) — Islamist extremists torched a library containing historic manuscripts in Timbuktu, the mayor said today, as French and Malian forces closed in on Mali's fabled desert city.
Ousmane Halle said he heard about the burnings early today.
"It's truly alarming that this has happened," he told The Associated Press by telephone from Mali's capital, Bamako. "They torched all the important ancient manuscripts. The ancient books of geography and science. It is the history of Timbuktu, of its people."

What do you think?
Maybe they torched the books because they were pissed off that the pages had already been colored in.
Interesting how the media get knotted undies when artifacts get destroyed yet rarely a mumble when Christians and other innocents get beheaded, bombed etc.
islamists should be as rare as smallpox.

Islam is an extreme religion. Sooner or later, Islam makes extreme stupidity happen.
That was my first though. They just didnt have enough room. Lol. These vermin are so predictable.
In a Moslem world there will be no traces of history prior to the time that Islam arose or was imposed, nothing outside of Islam. If Islam conquers all than knowledge and evidence that anything else ever existed will be effaced. The world will become semi arid sheep lands and desert with a a very small number of relatively opulent cities- where he rulers live and rule. The technology will continuously decline because nothing is added to it and things wear out and Mohammed did not use flush toilets, anyway.
Islam is pure EVIL!!
This is not the first time this Pedophile Cult has destroyed non Islamic antiquities.
Anyone apologizing for Islam is reserving their space in hell.

When I was young, it was hammered into my head that the Christians burned the library of Alexandria.
Then, it was revealed that the burning of the Alexandrian library happened after the Moslem takeover of the city.
Historical note:
Caliph Umar, destroyed the Alexandria Library shortly after the conquest of Egypt in 639 AD. The account states that the caliph, when informed about the institution, declared that if the books it contained agreed with the Koran, then they were superfluous, and if they disagreed, then they were heretical. In either event, they were worthless and should be obliterated.
