This is how they deal with our history: burning, ignorance, and distortion

The enemies of Islam realized that the Muslim generation loves to have roots to be proud of and longs for its glories. Therefore, they did not stop at defaming contemporary role models but went back to history and dealt with it by: 1. Burning 2. Ignorance 3. Distortion. Burning libraries, making the youth ignorant of the past, and distorting what they know about it. 1) Burning: It is striking that the enemies of Islam almost do not invade a Muslim country without targeting its libraries to burn them. They burned and drowned the libraries of Baghdad, Cordoba, Granada, Seville, Toledo, Valencia, Saragossa, Tripoli (Lebanon), Jerusalem, Ascalon, Gaza, and others. Three years ago, on Saturday, December 17, 2011, the Egyptian Scientific Academy was burned down, which was established in 1798. Thugs were seen throwing stones at people from the roof of the academy, and 200,000 manuscripts and books were left to burn without intervention. And a year and a half ago, when the group "Ansar al-Din" took control of Mali and established Sharia there with the support and love of the population, 13 European countries led by France attacked Muslim Mali, and the first thing they did was burn the ancient library of Timbuktu in January 2013. They burn our books and then write our history themselves. So, is it appropriate for us to ignore what remains of the works of our scholars and historians after that? 2) Ignorance: Western strategic planning centers list this method as an effective tool in their war against what they call Islamic extremism. For example, the RAND Center in its study (Civil Democratic Islam) on page 11 recommended measures in dealing with the Muslim youth, including: (Facilitate and encourage an awareness of their pre and non-Islamic history and culture in the media and curricula of relevant countries). Meaning: (Facilitate and encourage the new generation to know the history and culture before and outside of Islam through media and educational curricula). School curricula teach the history of the Assyrians, Pharaohs, Canaanites, Arameans, Babylonians, Greeks, then Europe in the Middle Ages and modern times, but the bright side of Islamic history is not worth studying! Instead, students study the names of the works of atheists or those criticized like the Ikhwan al-Safa and Ibn Sina, and Islamic history is taught in a boring way that makes the student hate the phrase "Islamic history"! And when students enroll in universities in a subject like (History of Islamic Civilization), they are surprised to find the focus on the architectural aspect in a boring way that reduces our history to decorations and walls! 3) Distortion: The little we know about our history must be distorted! And within this distortion campaign are series like (Harem Sultan). The goal is to make the new generation feel that they have no roots or history, that they are parasites on humanity, and that they should imitate the dregs of society who are highlighted by the media. So, let us beware...
