Macron needs to spread the word that a Quran was burned in the library.

Who needs books? All we need is the Koran! They used the same argument to burn the Great Library at Alexandria. In all fairness the Caliph ordered him not to do it, and for doing the act was decapitated—it set back the world almost 400 years (if not more).

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

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

In 2020 we had a last chance. Biden a befuddled old man or Trump a successful businessman and president. We too chose poorly and didn’t resist when many violations in election laws were used. Well, Trump had mean tweets and bad hair—too brash. We rolled over. Look where we are today?

That is so sad. A loss for the French.

To be honest, the kid started driving off and could have easily dragged one or both of those cops to their death, but of course they went full Ferguson.

It's France, they're more likely to apologize to the rioters.

Ask why the ChiComs have locked down the muslins in China? You know - the Uyghurs.

Exactly. Either there were Qurans, likely plural, at the library, which burned along with the rest of the books. Or a major public library, in an area of France with many Muslims, neglected to include their most important book in its collection. Which Islamophobic scandal is it?!

It’s the Muslims dealing with the ancient Alexandria Egypt library, which was one of the seven wonders of the ancient world.

Can’t allow any books other than the Koran, obviously.
