"They did not move past these to take notice of meanings and values. They could not accept the customs and manners of a civilian life and brought ruin and sedition to their neighboring towns, as they despoiled and plundered. Out of savagery and ferocity, according to ibn Khaldūn, many a time they tore out stones from the foundation of a building to place under their cooking pots, or pulled out ceiling beams to prop up a tent."
