I find a couple of things fishy about this news:
1) it seems to be published by israeli media only (no other major news
agencies)
2) it seems to be from a person who from previous statements (which where
in other major news) seems to be rather moderate, and even pro-western,
e.g. he oposed banning western movies proposed by some radical group,
and opposed veils
I wonder if someone arabic speaking can verify that he really said that,
and if it meant "burn down all books", or "burn down israeli anti-arab
propaganda books" which could be part of rethoric speech.... In any
case, I would take this news with a large quantity of salt...

This is why the Egyptian Culture Minister Farouk Hosni's comment,
that he "would burn Israeli books himself if found in Egyptian
libraries," is so disturbing. Hosni made the statement at a conference
held in the Egyptian parliament earlier this month.
