Knowledge? Yes.
Bibles and korans? That's a tougher sell.
If that were the case, would destroying all copies of the Illiad be ok? The Bible/Koran does provide a indirect glimpse into the world of those who wrote them, which actually does provide a somewhat useful purpose... It may actually be the biggest single collection of "early" human literature in existence.
