Lebanese library burned, loses more than 50,000 books
Quote:
Tens of thousands of books were lost to fire when a library in Lebanon was set ablaze.
Officials said unknown arsonists torched Tripoli's Saeh Library, or Traveler's Library, Friday after claims that its founder, Father Ibrahim Sarouja, a Greek Orthodox priest, had written an anti-Islamic online article and that anti-Islamic materials had been found in the library.
A source told Agence France-Presse that the reports were unfounded; a protest against the priest had been planned and called off -- and then the fire followed.
