Check out the "Great Library of Alexandria," the greatest "librarian" of which was Hyapatia. She was tortured to death, when the library was sacked during the crusades (I believe).

You believe incorrectly. Hypatia was a pagan philosopher and mathematician who was tortured to death by a Christian mob in 415 AD. Pretty tough to blame this one on Mohammed, since he wasn't born till a couple of centuries later.

This shows why I shouldn't try posting from work on my lunch break, using knowledge that I picked up 25 or 30 years ago... Things dim and get fuzzy over the years... I'd hate to try to calculate linear equations or a FFT!
