France Echos : le blog in English
It appears that the library of “l’Ecole des Chartes” in the Sorbonne which houses 100,000 significant books and manuscripts dating back to the middle ages has been ransacked and many of the books were destroyed. France Echos writes:
"Today (march 22, 2006) we learn that this government has let 1,000 years of cultural and religious legacy to become smoke and ashes.
Documents of more than TEN CENTURIES!
If the French populate is abandoned by its government, it will defend itself. However books and manuscripts can not defend themselves.
The state has failed in its 3 major missions:
1- To protect its territory.
2- To protect its citizens and their goods.
3- To protect and to transmit its cultural and religious heritage.
Our leaders have inherited more than 15 centuries of history, legacy and culture. They are not only denying this heritage, but they are also allowing the destruction of what our ancestors have build, written, thought century after century"

That's beyond tragic.

Le Dhimmi - c'est moi.
Chirac 2006.
Alison - holy crap. When I first read what you had written I immediately thought - MOSLEMS! Then I told myself, 'no, no.' Wrong, wrong.
My God. These Moslems are insane. They have to be stopped. And rastaman you are right - the French are regularly mocked in America. For good reason.
Alison,
I saw this a couple weeks ago, too, but after searching about a bit, I believe it could actually be that a "librairie" rather than a "bibliotheque" was burned.
I could find no other reference to a library, but a bookstore being burned by rioters.
You are shitting me,is this story real? if it is then France will burn to the GROUND.
VIVA LE DHIMMI
I was pretty shocked also - got it from the link above though. all grim reading
