Let's talk about a couple of persistent Umar stories

You'll find two stories about Umar common on the web.

The first is that he ordered the destruction of the Great Library of Alexandria, based on prejudice against all books that weren't the Quran. This story is implausible for a bunch of reasons; it'd be nice to see it properly debunked here.

The second story touchingly contradicts religious bigotry of the first: supposedly Umar made a point of not turning the Church of the Holy Sepulchre into a mosque. Mentioned in that article, worth expanding on here. Isaac Rabinovitch (talk) 21:01, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 14 March 2025

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Umar. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.
