But the fact that quran was written at all has much to do with burning of books.
When Library of Alxenandria was burned by the Arabs as fuel to heat the baths in the city of Alexandria during the first flush of Quanic enthusiasm, this was done on the principle that if a book contains what is worthy of being written, than its contents is by definition already in the Quran. If the book contains what is not already in the Quran, than the surplus is evidently not worthy of having been written. Hence all books that is not Quran can be consigned to the flames.

Another affirmation of the religion of peace.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.

Still angry over the Library of Alexandria.

Somehow you make me think of the slogan in 1984. War is peace
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Why do you pretend to have a low IQ! Islam is not a race, nor a geographical location, it's a belief. If you believe that 2 + 2 = 5 and your math teacher hates you, and he fails you, is he a racist too?
But naturally no. He fails you because you're an idiot, you believe things that are wrong.

Antioch, too.
Quote:Jovian, a Christian, reestablished Christianity as the state church, ending the brief revival of paganism under his predecessor. Upon arriving at Antioch, he revoked the edicts of Julian against Christians.[2] The Labarum of Constantine the Great again became the standard of the army.[3] He issued an edict of toleration, to the effect that, while the exercise of magical rites would be punished, his subjects should enjoy full liberty of conscience.[4]
However, in 363 he issued an edict ordering the Library of Antioch to be burnt down,[5] and another on 11 September subjecting those who worshiped ancestral gods to the death penalty. He extended the same punishment on 23 December to participation in any pagan ceremony (even private ones).
Theodosius was not the only xtian thug.
