We all know the Islamists wouldn't want people learning anything except what they want them to learn, i.e., violence and hatred.

So what if a few irreplaceable books get burned in their zealous hate? Price worth paying!

Seriously though, humanity is so advanced, yet so backwards. Time we shed ourselves of the people holding us back.

They want to live in the dark ages and at the same time continue to use modern-day weapons. They like having cake and eating it too.

Truly horrific. Saudi Arabia should be electrically fenced & turned into a penal colony where are Islamists are thrown to rot.

I wonder if a Muslim apologist will be along to say that burning books isn't written in the Quran so Islam cannot be held to account.

They already did in the article.

"I'm not muslim but I'm more muslim than those who did this"

Or something along those lines.

What a load of bullshit.
