Regardless of what else one might say about Christians or Christianity, the only reason that most of the documents exists from which most of our knowledge of the ancient Pagan world come is that Christian monks voluntarily abstained from sex for their entire lives so that they could meticulously copy and recopy those documents. So the next time that you read an epic by Homer, a play by Sophocles, a dialog by Plato, or a treatise by Aristotle, offer a silent thank you to the Christian monks who gave up sex so that we could have knowledge of the ancient world.

The city of Munich, Germany, the birthplace of National Socialism, gets its name from those monks who copied those manuscripts. Here is the coat of arms of Munich, which honors those monks:

The Library was destroyed by invading muzzies in 642 CE on the orders of Caliph Omar ...

In AD 642, Alexandria was captured by the Muslim army of 'Amr ibn al-'As. Several later Arabic sources describe the library's destruction by the order of Caliph Omar. Bar-Hebraeus, writing in the thirteenth century, quotes Omar as saying to Yaḥyā al-Naḥwī: "If those books are in agreement with the Quran, we have no need of them; and if these are opposed to the Quran, destroy them."...

Which is exactly what we have seen muzzie culture destroyers in the ME and Western Asia proclaim today as they continue to attempt eradication of the ancient history of the region.

Seriously, how could any of you believe that it would have been anyone else that burned the Library of Alexandria?
