> Islamic evangelists were also actively burning books and scrolls all over their newly invaded territory because all books were apparently useless except one book!

Can you share a source for this claim?

Here's the reference, from the book itself:

Nahl, 89:

And We have sent down to you the Book as clarification for all things and as guidance and mercy and good tidings for the Muslims.

And here they went, they set fire on Big libraries of Egypt and Iran, thousands of years of knowledge went to drain simply becasue the book has knowledge about everything!

I was asking for historical sources, but since you are once again making claims you can’t back up, I’m done here.
