SEVARE, Mali (AP) — Islamist extremists torched a library containing historic manuscripts in Timbuktu, the mayor said Monday, as French and Malian forces closed in on Mali's fabled desert city.That's Islamofascism for you. This is one of their leading examples of how they spite other people's histories and developments, all for the sake of jihad.
Ousmane Halle said he heard about the burnings early Monday.
"It's truly alarming that this has happened," he told The Associated Press by telephone from Mali's capital, Bamako, on Monday. "They torched all the important ancient manuscripts. The ancient books of geography and science. It is the history of Timbuktu, of its people."
It's more than just alarming - it's disgusting.

I'm surprised that the Egyptian pyramids and the Sphinx are still standing.
