Cyril of Alexandria
The great murderer of many Jews and Christians alike... Anyone in Alexandria that disagreed with his view of the church was murdered, and Alexandria's libraries (the most famous and by-far most modernly advanced collection of books and scientists at 5th century) burned also. His prolific view which led to his revisionist book-burning:
"Cyril regarded the embodiment of God in the person of Jesus Christ to be so mystically powerful that it spread out from the body of the God-man into the rest of the race, to reconstitute human nature into a graced and deified condition of the saints, one that promised immortality and transfiguration to believers."
Cyril wrote various hate decrees, such as "Discourse Against Arians." (a book used to persecute un-believers of his own faith)
Cyril became famous by his role in murdering many Jews and Christians of Alexandria.
and his revisionist writings including A Coomentary of the Gospel of St. Luke (re-writing what Luke says).
And by the way, his Catholic feast day is on June 9th and his name is widely-celebrated among Catholic traditions... make way and exault the great murderer of the True Alexandria.
