“If these writings of the Greeks agree with the book of Allah, they are redundant, useless and need not be preserved; if they disagree, they are pernicious, and ought to be destroyed.”
---Caliph Omar upon learning that a vast number of books from the Library of Alexandria still existed.
The books were then burnt to warm the saunas of Alexandria. A six month supply, apparently.
