Early in the year A. D. 642, Alexandria surrendered to Amrou, the Islamic general leading the armies of Omar, Caliph of Baghdad. Long one of the most important cities of the ancient world and capital of Byzantine Egypt, Alexandria surrendered only after a long siege and attempts to rescue the city by the Byzantines. On the orders of Omar, Caliph of Baghdad, the entire collection of books (except for the works of Aristotle) stored at the Library of Alexandria were removed and used as fuel to heat water for the city's public baths.
Fanatical Christians did in fact attack the library and cause some damage, but the overwhelming destruction of the records was done in the name of the Calyph of Baghdad.
Your erroneous assumptions, and your tendency to ascribe equivalency to Christianity and Islam, are an indication that you are not the thorough scholar you pretend to be.
Looking forward to reading the "has been" note.
Yes..yes..I've already said that I got that story from Carl Sagan and noted that he was not unbiased. I also said over and over again that I am no Islamic or Christian scholar so the above is just a hissy fit.
