One of the many distressing videos circulating on social media showed a devastating scene of rioters in France setting ablaze the largest public library in the city of Marseille. The footage shows flames engulfing the institution, symbolising the loss of knowledge, culture, and community resources.

Import the third world and you get the third world.

Europe needs to relearn its history against Islam.

Western society and Islamic society are not compatible on the same continent.

Our government has and continues to actively import Muslins. Great strategy to destroy America.

These mostly peaceful protesters should be deported upon arrest. That might bring an end to the problems and then France can deal with what it has done to itself.

In 2022, France had one last chance. They chose poorly.

Emmanuel Macron: 59% of the vote
Marine Le Pen: 41% of the vote

Now this is the type of thing that just crushes me. I have little doubt that there were historic one of a kind manuscripts held in this building that may now be lost for all time.

While no where near as significant to me it mirrors the loss of the Library of Alexandria...though the legend of it’s burning isn’t 100% accurate.

“Muslims....its what they do.”

As of 2015, Marseille’s population was approximately 861,000. Current estimages are that 25-30% of them are muslim.

According to Wokipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_Marseille

As official data on religion are generally not collected in France on the principle of secularism (”laïcité”), the precise number of Muslims in Marseille is not available. Various sources estimate Muslims to constitute 20% of the city’s population. A survey of high-school students carried out in 2000–2001 suggests that 30% of young people have a Muslim background. In 2015, The Guardian reported that were 250,000 Muslims in Marseille.

From 1790-1815 and from 1914-1918 France lost forever its best genetic stock. After 1945 the remnant instituted policies that were akin to cultural suicide. France is now undergoing deconstruction as it is transforming and transitioning. It will take some time before Americans disabuse themselves of their notion of what was once France. The burning of Notre Dame and that library is more than symbolic.

We have a front row seat from which to watch the collapse of civilization. Ah, if only I were still young enough to rape and pillage.

Don’t forget that we import CCP agents.

That would be interesting, Muslims vs. Communist Chinese.

> Current estimates are that 25-30% of them are muslim. <

Peter Hammond did a study on how the percentage of Muslims affects society.
From the study:

“After reaching 20% expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings and church and synagogue burning.”

Study is here:
