How much more asinine damage can these people do before enough is enough? There are a few things about Muslim peoples and Sharia Law that with my limited understanding appear to be admirable but the amount of tragedies these people create is overwhelming!
Erasing History: Ancient Timbuktu Manuscripts, One Written in Hebrew, Torched By Malian Islamists | Video | TheBlaze.com
If the ongoing excavations at the Temple Mount designed to purge all Judaic artifacts, and hence, ancestral link to Jerusalem are any indication, Islamists seem to be good at destroying ancient relics in their attempt to rewrite history. Such is the case in Mali, where Islamic terrorists torched the Ahmed Baba Institute, where priceless manuscripts of Timbuktu, including one written in Hebrew, had been preserved for posterity.
According to Mayor Ousmane Halle, the library, which housed thousands of invaluable manuscripts dating back to the 13th century and documenting everything from poetry, music, astronomy and even womens rights, was set ablaze by insurgents as they fled French and Malian forces. While most were written in Arabic, one of the manuscripts, reportedly buried in a wooden trunk, was written in Hebrew.
Its truly alarming that this has happened, Halle told The Associated Press from Bamako. They torched all the important ancient manuscripts. The ancient books of geography and science. It is the history of Timbuktu, of its people.
Researchers had been in the process of duplicating the manuscripts electronically when the newly-built facility was burned to the ground. Only a tiny fraction were saved.
