How is burning of books in western european countries not relevant to western europe? As for Muslims being murdered in hate crime in Europe:

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

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

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Munich_shooting

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halle_shooting - note how the attacker went on to attack a kebap shop, after failing to gain entry to a synagogue

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_Norway_attacks - note that the key motivation of the attack was hate against Islam, that led to the murder of 77 mostly teenagers

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Islamophobic_incidents Note that these only represent a fraction of actual incidents.

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fl%C3%BCchtlingsfeindliche_Angriffe_in_der_Bundesrepublik_Deutschland

https://www.tagesschau.de/inland/innenpolitik/fluechtlingsunterkuenfte-anschlaege-103.html

In Germany alone there have been over 12.000 attacks against refugee shelters, mainly motivated by the same ideology of Breivic, imagining a muslim immigration that would cause an exodus of white people. Of these attacks 285 were Arson and more than 2.000 attacks on refugees at shelters since 2015.

Again, note how the attacks are embedded in a specific hate against muslims, that is also cojoined with antisemitism and other aspects of facist ideology.

Also stop deflecting to the state in other countries, since two wrongs dont make a right, and again it is absurd for countries like Denmark or Sweden to compare themselves with failed states like Afghanistan, Lybia or Iraq, where unsuprsingly violence is more prevalent, since they are in a civil war.

And yet all those attacks are easily overshadowed by hate murders against Europeans by Islamic terrorists, who are also fascist. You're right, two wrongs don't make a right. Nazis in Europe and Islamic fascists wherever are both abhorrent. Burning a book is just burning a book.
