The Muslims were invaders in this area as well. They conquered this area from the Byzantines in the 600s.

Too many people with no common sense and their selfish beliefs. Burning books and libraries is the act of ignorance.

And it breeds more ignorance. I remember Carl Sagan talking about the Library at Alexandria and how if it hadn't been burned we might be a lot further along in our technology than we are today. We might possibly have reached the stars by now if so much hadn't had to be re-discovered.
