Sorry, but it was the Romans who burned the Library at Alexandria. Islam (especially in its current form) has a lot to apoligize for but not something that happened six hundred years before the time of Mohammed.

Or blew the nose off the Sphnix--- with that new weapon of mass destruction: the cannon -- in an attempt to destroy the "heathen idol". (It proved to be a lot more difficult then expected, which is why we have what is left. Had it been easier to destroy, or the Muslims better armed, you can rest assured it most certainly would have been.)

IMHO, Islam will have a good deal to answer for when it is called before the bar of History.

It was indeed Christians in another of their unlimited series of internecine squabbles.
