[RIA] When the head of European diplomacy, Josep Borrell, uttered the famous maxim about the "blooming garden" and "wild jungle", he not only created an online meme, but also made it clear how Europeans perceive the outside world. They have a "garden" and they "cultivate" it.

When the Swedish police received applications for the burning of sacred books - the Torah, the Koran and the New Testament - last week, they took the requests not as a "letter from Kanatchikov's dacha", but as a basis for issuing such a permit. Or don't give out. In this case, both permission and prohibition are equally shameful. But the very fact of the requests, as well as the fact of their consideration, is a signal to those who are outside of Europe and the current European mores that the continent, like the Titanic, has already sunk into the waters of the crisis far below the waterline.
All applications for book burning, which is typical, operate with concepts so pleasing to the European ear as "freedom of speech", "freedom of self-expression", "freedom of conscience."
Burning sacred books for hundreds of millions of people means only the manifestation of the desire of one or two characters to attract attention and get their 15 minutes of fame.
It seemed that in the Gutenberg galaxy, an explosion of indignation on a cosmic scale should have happened on this occasion, but no, everything is quiet. Duty statements of the embassies of those countries where they profess Islam or Judaism - and, in fact, further silence.
Burning books or any other method of destroying the printed word, all the more so designed for resonance, of course, refers to the gloomy era of Nazism, when bonfires blazed all over Germany , and to the times of the Inquisition, when those whom the church considered heretics and their writings flew into the fire.
Both the Nazi marches and the decisions of the Inquisition seemed to be branded as manifestations of barbarism to the very last degree, but it turns out that they were not.
It turns out that the monster of destruction and humiliation of religious and cultural values was neither killed nor injured. He crawled away into the bushes, hid, but now he comes out in all his herostratic might. Burn an ancient temple in ancient Greece to become famous? What do you know about fame? Burning sacred books so that the video is posted on the Web, and there it becomes viral, with millions of views - today this is an achievement of the European mind and the fruit of European "culture", where values and ideals are nothing, and glory and the "European dream" are everything.
Those who intend to burn books are already aware that their alleged act is "legal but inappropriate." The precedent for burning the Koran in Stockholm was set a few days ago, and the head of the kingdom's cabinet said about "inappropriateness". Characteristically, you can't do what you can in Sweden. In Israel, what they are ready to do in Sweden is unthinkable. In Russia, a prison is threatened for such an act.
This is how books are treated - both sacred, ecclesiastical, and secular, - in those countries that Europeans, with the light hand of Josep Borrell, consider "jungle", dictatorial, theocratic, whatever.
The burning of Scripture, Torah and Koran in the "blooming garden" is presented as "the fight against clericalism." Then why, as part of the fight against the same clericalism, do not start by burning the EU flag , the one with golden stars on the blue canvas? Blue is a reference to the color of the tunic of the Virgin Mary. At the time of the emergence of the European Union, they were ready and, most importantly, wanted to recognize the roots of the Judeo-Christian civilization, respecting the Muslim religion.
But the roots are exactly what the globalist elite wanted to destroy and practically destroyed by offering a rainbow banner instead of the blue-star flag, and replacing cultural and religious truths with desires dictated almost exclusively by the “bodily bottom”. Mixing one with the other in equal proportions, we got ... No, not freedom. Got hate. Hatred is the meaning of survival, curse is its norm.
Ray Bradbury's dystopia "451 Degrees Fahrenheit" (this is the burning temperature of paper), where, in order to save books, you need to go underground and memorize in an effort to preserve texts for posterity by heart, 70 years after publication has become a European reality. A feature of the lifestyle in the "blooming garden surrounded by the jungle."
Book burning petitions are just the first step in that direction.
Then they won’t ask - they wanted to burn it, well, they took it and burned it. They found that the writer is guilty of "propaganda of values alien to modern Europe", so his books were put on fire, and his work should be canceled. And forget. We have already seen this where the "European dream", as it seems, has taken the place that culture had.
True, in Russia it was said by a Russian writer: "Manuscripts do not burn." Public burning of sacred books will not destroy either religion or faith. Well, the "blooming garden" itself needs to prepare for the worst. Where they begin to burn books, sooner or later they will burn people.
History has confirmed this thesis many times.
