Islam Is the Bull in History’s China Shop
American Thinker ^ | 10 Nov, 2023 | Milli Sands

Muslims make a point of destroying any history that does not conform with their beliefs.

As Muslims savage Israel, hoping to destroy it, there should be concerns among Christians and Jews about their histories in the Holy Land if these seventh-century throwbacks win.

Muslims are the bulls in the china shop of history.

The same uncivilization that brought sacralized lying, taqiyya, also brings lying about the past by destroying it, Jahiliyyah.

Jahiliyyah ... is an Arabic term that refers to the period of time and state of affairs in Pre-Islamic Arabia before the advent of Islam in 609 CE. It usually refers to the Age of Ignorance.

Jāhiliyyah, in Islam ... indicates a negative Muslim evaluation of pre-Islamic life and culture in Arabia as compared to the teachings and practices of Islam.

The destruction of historical artifacts is an attempt to enforce the teachings of Islam. Jahiliyyah is used to rationalize the destruction of artifacts as symbols of idolatry or cultural practices considered incompatible with Islam.

It is intended to erase the past and has metastasized outside Arabia.

The most notable example of such destruction and metastasizing is the demolition of the ancient Buddha statues in the Bamiyan Valley, Afghanistan, by the Taliban in 2001. Their destruction was justified based on the Taliban’s interpretation of Islamic teachings.

Damage by Muslims is never a one-off.

There have been many other cases where historical artifacts and cultural sites have been targeted. Some examples:

1. Destruction of ancient artifacts in Timbuktu, 2012: Armed Muslims targeted ancient manuscripts and artifacts in a UNESCO World Heritage Site, leading to their destruction, because they were considered contrary to Islamic beliefs.

2. Demolition of historical monuments in Palmyra, 2015: Islamic State militants demolished several ancient structures in an attempt to eradicate what they viewed as symbols...

While you are correct about Islam or Is-lame as I would like to call it, this is nothing new.

Look at what the early Roman Catholic Empire did to the Library of Alexandria? Millions of scrolls of knowledge from around the world destroyed by the early Christians.

Is-Lame is simply acting out like most single God religions do when holding power. Is-Lame needs to be taken down.

The problem is; Islam never got its New Testament nor Reformation. Therefore, it’s stuck in 7th century theology.

Yup. The woke people in the US who demand that Confederate statues be taken down are playing the same game for the same reason.

People who deny history are Bad.
People who deny reality are Bad.
People who think Truth is “whatever” are Bad.

"..., also brings lying about the past by destroying it,"

Sounds familiar.

According to Wiki, it wasn’t Christians who destroyed the library.

Mohamed was the Jim Jones of the seventh century, a fraud telling his followers that rape and pillage were holy and that murder was the ticket to a paradise filled with Earthly pleasures. Today a billion people drink his Kool Aid.

And the angel of the Lord found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur. And he said, Hagar, Sarai's maid, whence camest thou? and whither wilt thou go? And she said, I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai. And the angel of the Lord said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands. And the angel of the Lord said unto her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude. And the angel of the Lord said unto her, Behold, thou art with child and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the Lord hath heard thy affliction. And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him... (Genesis 16:7-12)

From your source...

The daughter library in the Serapeum may have survived after the main Library’s destruction. The Serapeum was vandalized and demolished in 391 AD under a decree issued by Bishop.

Also during the Christian season of Lent in March 415, a mob of Christians under the leadership of a lector named Peter, raided Hypatia’s carriage as she was travelling home.[26][27][28] They dragged her into a building known as the Kaisarion, a former pagan temple and center of the Roman imperial cult in Alexandria that had been converted into a Christian church.[29][26][28] There, the mob stripped Hypatia naked and murdered her using ostraka,[26][30][31][32] which can either be translated as “roof tiles” or “oyster shells”.[26][33] Later historian John of Nikiû also tells a similar story.[34] Even later historian Byzantinist Fr. Adrian Fortescue, says that the mob of Christian Parabalanies and Peter, cruelly tore her to pieces on the steps of a church. Damascius adds that they also cut out her eyeballs.[35] They tore her body into pieces and dragged her limbs through the town to a place called Cinarion, where they set them on fire.

Islam indeed learned much from early Christians.

The two major sources of of Islam are the Mullahs... and Hadith. These two are where the majority of the teachings come from. When looking for guidance, a Muslim often refers back to one of these two .... the Quran is only what the Mullahs tell them it says and means.
