    0:33:22 onwards. Current opinion suggests that the Library just faded away, rather than being destroyed in one cataclysmic event.

    What about Islam's internal battles between the reforms towards the future and the reforms towards the past?  Where libraries got burned for the sake of the latter.
    The House of Wisdom was destroyed during the Mongol invasion of Baghdad in 1258, along with all other libraries in Baghdad. It was said that the waters of the Tigris ran black for six months with ink from the enormous quantities of books flung into the river.
    There's the library of al-Hakam II in Cordoba, al-Andalusia, 976CE which was burned down by the Berber tribals who were incited by a 8th century Maududist, by the name of Al-Mansur Ibn Abi Aamir.
    Then there's the library of Alexandria which was burned down due to Christian Fundies, can't blame Muslim Fundies for that one.  Of course loads of people were killed when these libraries got burned down. Can't find the online references, though.

    The 1988 Iran Iraq war is also notable for using child soldiers.

    Child soldiers, some as young as nine, were used extensively during the Iran-Iraq war. Some opposition groups are said to recruit children, including from expatriate communities living in Europe.

    Just came across this fascinating comment in wiki

    Quote
    Some Byzantinists have used the term "Byzantine Dark Ages" to refer to the period from the earliest Muslim conquests to about 800 AD,[34] because there are no extant historical texts in Greek from this period, and thus the history of the Byzantine Empire and formerly Byzantine territories that were conquered by the Muslims is poorly understood and must be reconstructed from other types of contemporaneous sources, such as religious texts.[35]

    It is also known that very few Greek manuscripts were copied in this period, indicating that the seventh and eighth centuries, which were a period of crisis for the Byzantines because of the Muslim conquests, were also less intellectually active than other periods.

    Bit naughty if we are not able to cross check the early days of Islam!

    You'll never find online references or references of any sort, what your describing never occurred.


    It did occur and you can find a cryptic reference to it in Paulus Orosius - History against the Pagans vi.15.32. Here is the passage translated into English:

    Quote
    So perished that marvelous monument of the literary activity of our ancestors, who had gathered together so many great works of brilliant geniuses. In regard to this, however true it may be that in some of the temples there remain up to the present time book chests, which we ourselves have seen, and that, as we are told, these were emptied by our own men in our own day when these temples were plundered—this statement is true enough—yet it seems fairer to suppose that other collections had later been formed to rival the ancient love of literature, and not that there had once been another library which had books separate from the four hundred thousand volumes mentioned, and for that reason had escaped destruction.


    He is talking about the destruction of the library at the time of Julius Caesar, but then he concedes that there was another destruction of libraries within temples during his own lifetime by "our men" i.e. the Christian mob.

    If you want another event to add to your timeline then how about:

    1268 - Baibars captured the city of Antioch and massacred the 40,000 Christian residents.
    wikipedia

    The wikipedia article says 40,000 Christians killed and cites Michaud, The History of the Crusades, Vol. 3, p. 18 as the source.

    In Rodney Stark's "God's Battalions" I think I remember reading that the number killed was 17,000.

    But what is the ultimate purpose of a timeline of Muslims attrocities? Where will it be posted? What is the point of producing such a one-sided account of history? You won't win anyone over by that, people will immediately recogoinze it for what it is, a one-sided account. It would make more sense to produce a list of all attrocities, Muslim and non-Muslim.
