Early muslims burned all the books and manuscripts in the library at Alexandra. The imam who ordered the burning said that the only book the world needed was the Koran.

So in a future muslim world, there would be no books, films, magazines, newspapers, or any other written material except for the Koran. It will be a very boring world, if they get their way.

It will be the end of civilization and humanity...

"...if they get their way." Insanity!
