Minn, I would agree that the state of the middle east is far too much still far to dogmatic and tribal. But back then, even in polytheism, worldwide, humans of every religion, sought guidance from their respective god/s to guide them in battle in defeat of their enemies. Even in Greek and Roman mythology they had "war Gods". The Egyptians prayed to their deities to help them to defeat their rivals too.

Roman God of war.

Greek God of war.

And even Asia has it's vengeful mythology.

What you said was that you didn't want the pyramids or Acropolis blown up as the Taliban did to those Buddha statues.  Ironically, the Acropolis was blown up thanks to the Turks storing ammunition in it.  But it was still from an lucky Venetian artillery round and not a result of the Turks worshiping it.


In any case, I see no similar value to those books of ancient horseshit.  Given a chance they would gladly burn the books of other sects themselves.
