Everything from the start of the Islamic era was based on a lie, nothing has changed. Wherever the Saracens go they bring death and destruction. Alexandria Egypt had one of the best libraries in the known world. In 642 the library was destroyed by order of the caliph Umar because the “books were not in agreement with Islam and its ‘holy book.’”

I believe your post is correct. But the library at Alexandria was very large, and was destroyed many times. At least one of those times was by Christians.

I watched a documentary about that. Supposedly there were books/scrolls about civilizations that predated anything we know about. We will never know now.

The savagery of Tribalism has mystified the civilized world through the ages. The barbaric nature of Hamas is no different. It is a toxic cancer that is metastasizing through the innocent children who are made slaves to an ideology of the ruling elite. To stop this malignant growth, you have to treat dogs as dogs. Time for tough measures. Eliminate the pack leaders and end the brainwashing by the schools.
