The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) on Tuesday voiced concern over reports of mass book-burning in Iraq, saying it would be one of the most "devastating" such actions in history if confirmed.
Referring to reports that thousands of books on philosophy, law, science and poetry have been torched in recent weeks, UNESCO Director-General Irina Bokova said it was part of a campaign of "cultural cleansing," reports AFP.
"If confirmed, this would be one of the most devastating acts of destruction of library collections in human history," UNESCO said.
"Such destruction is a cruel reminder that the nations of the world must remain united to combat such fanaticism today," Bokova added.

The Bible? No sex? Have you read it?
Now just a cotton pickin’ minit here. Let’s be fair. Bestiality, homosexuality and masturbation are forbidden by the Koran, and so is promiscuous hetero sex. Now, as a practical matter, Muslims are some of the worst practitioners of deviant sex. But it is un-Islamic, and they only do it on the sly. Does that mean that deviant sex is a form of human progress?
The Muslim general who conquered Egypt burned the library at Alexandria because the books either contradicted the Koran in which case they were blasphemous, or confirmed it, in which case they were redundant.
Liberals abuse science (ie. AIDS research for a gay vaccine), meaning they are islamic precursors of sorts, ie. Abusing the tools of war for their own gratification. Right now the powers that be have Finlandized them (antigun) but their craving for political power without cause is all too telling they can be switched on any minute now.
I’ll bet the ISIS goons have spared all Arabic copies of Mein Kampf.
Hitler was a big fan of Islam for its lack of moral restraints when dealing with “unbelievers”.
Muzzies think being Nazi-like makes them both “whiter” & better Jew-haters. A marriage made in Hell.
Since Obama and Shemp say they are not Muslim, I guess they also threw the korans into the fire too, eh?
I just watched a documentary on Himler. Apparently, he had planned and advocated well in advance of the attack on Poland that Nazis and SS should kill 30 million slavs and jews. The fact that the mass killings did not mushroom until the middle of the war was because it took a while to build the extermination infrastructure, and trained, indoctrinated personnel.
Of course they haven’t frozen them yet, but just wait ‘til they move north and further contaminate the Chechnians and other Muslim groups in Russia, then grab your long johns and hope for the best.
The Chechens have been with Russia for a long time, and wanted to conquer them for a long time. The Mongols managed it, but so far the Chechens have not, though not for want of desire. It’s not contamination with fanatical Islam that they’re lacking. It’s nuclear bombs and air support, though that doesn’t explain why the Czar’s Cossacks were able to keep them down. Back then, they didn’t have those things, either.
Although somewhat settled the Cossacks were still very much a horse people, and thus served as elite cavalry. I just finished reading “All quiet on the Don” about the Don Cossacks and the early 19th century as they fought the Germans in WW1, and then the Russian Bolshevic Revolution which squashed their semi-autonomous way of life. As one example, the area hetman (elected? boss) distributed certain lands (commons?) each year to be used for grazing and agriculture. A good leader tried to be fair in his allocations. Not like forced collectivization. I am in the middle of reading the second book of that duo, so don’t know exactly how badly the Communists subjugated them. But I think the current situation in Ukraine is an outgrowth of this entire issue/history.
I should have said early 1900s, not 19th century for Cossacks fighting in WW1.
