An act of Islamic piety: destroying the Christians' "misguided" books. After all, as the caliph Umar is supposed to have said when ordering the library of Alexandria to be burned: "If the books agree with the Qur'an, they are superfluous. If they disagree with it, they are heretical."

AU sendin' more troops to counter al-Shabba in Somalia... AU forces in Somalia get 3,000-troop boost September 30, 2011 - The African Union Mission for Somalia is getting 3,000 more troops to keep its hold on Mogadishu, but there's no indication that AMISOM will be able to gain control of the country.
Tell me how much help the Arab world gives to the Sub Saharan african states compared to their Arab brothers. Tell me how the human rights are of Christians in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Algeria. Tell me how their relation is with the Jews Tell me how their relation is with the West.
Dutch Clog Cyborg doesn't mention the fact that the Arab Muslim grandsons of Umar's generation soundly condemned the old camel jockey's reasoning and felt it was a blot on the reputation of Islam. There has also been plenty of respect for scholarship (Muslim and non-Muslim) in the history of Islam. What I love (sarcasm alert) about the Islamists is they seem to want to adopt the worst of Islam rather than the best.
Good, if that is true, they will offer support to the AU to help stomp out bigotry like this. Otherwise it is just an empty claim.
