This is what “diversity” looks like in practice: the supremacy of Islam, whether you want it or not.
“A bus driver imposes verses from the Koran on passengers between Aix and Marseille,” translated from “Un chauffeur de bus impose aux passagers des versets du Coran entre Aix et Marseille,” France Bleu, November 22, 2022 (thanks to Medforth):
On Sunday morning, passengers on the Aix-Marseille shuttle listened to verses from the Koran broadcast by a driver. The Aix-Marseille Metropolis is conducting the investigation.
Sunday morning, line 50, Aix-en-Provence bus station. The Aix-Marseille shuttle, the most used, 10,000 to 15,000 passengers every day on weekdays. We get on the bus, at the end of the morning, and we hear in the loudspeakers, from the first to the last row, a psalmody in Arabic. The sound volume is loud. One of the passengers challenges the young driver: “You don’t have to inflict that on us!” Another at the back of the bus, an Algerian: “You don’t respect secularism, you don’t have the right!”
Two passengers tried to stop the broadcast before departure
The driver’s reaction is scathing, without the slightest hesitation: “It’s my bus! I do what I want. If you’re not happy, you get off.” A version confirmed by a passenger. Almost no protest among the fifty passengers. No one dares speak directly to the driver. The Algerian retiree, he tries again out loud: “These are verses, it’s religious.” And he harangues the other passengers: “Does it bother anyone for secularism?” Silence. Nobody questions the driver… who starts. An elderly lady calms her husband, telling him not to react: “We are in his hands.” Understand: “He’s the one who’s driving.” No choice. The husband suffers: “We are mostly between his ears.”
Prayers along the way
The prayer continues to Saint Charles station, the coach’s only soundtrack. In all, almost 40 minutes. More than a discomfort. The passenger we were able to contact couldn’t get over it: “I find it very shocking. Secularism is a very important thing. And it lasted the whole trip, to Marseille station.” On arrival, the Algerian passenger who had most opposed the broadcast expressed his shock: “It reminds me of Algeria, with the FIS. The Islamists, they played that on the buses. It’s forbidden today in Algeria! And I hear that here! It’s the first time. It’s catastrophic! We have to react.” And he concludes: “This young man, when he does that, he will bring the Rassemblement National to the top!”
Disciplinary proceedings initiated
All the passengers did not take a video of the broadcaster of the religious messages, but some filmed. France Bleu Provence has obtained an unequivocal video that bears witness to the incident. And the analysis of an extract leaves no doubt. This is a surah from the Quran.
Alerted, the transport authority, RDT 13, leads the investigation. The driver has been identified. He is not an agent of the metropolis, but a young recruit of a subcontractor. The respondent was summoned by his employer and he gives a completely different version of the facts. According to Paul Sillou, general manager RDT 13, guest on France Bleu Provence, the driver ensured that he did not broadcast these verses on the enclosure of the bus, but only on his telephone.According to the Aix-Marseille Metropolis, the incident is unprecedented. She recalls this principle: any religious demonstration in public transport is “very serious and unacceptable,” and the internal regulations prohibit it. The director general of RDT 13 assures him: “We are in the process of collecting elements within the framework of a disciplinary procedure concerning him.” The Aix-Marseille shuttle carries three million passengers a year.

Transfer the bus driver to the night shift cleaning the bathrooms in bus stations the less interaction with the public the better .His excuse he was playing with his phone while driving does not sound very safe ,if he the driver is a employee of a subcontractor maybe it is time to get another subcontractor that screens their employees better.

Strange behaviour of these people

The spineless passengers or the psycho driver??

Well, let’s hope the sheeple in the bus remember this the next time they vote before casting those precious votes to the wind. They could have done a little due diligence and voted Eric Zemmour in the last French presidential election. The sheeple will just have to endure it until the next election – and will probably cast those votes to the wind again.
Keith O says
If this situation had been reversed and it had been a Christian or a Hindu playing their indoctrination over the loudspeakers, then we would still be hearing about how offended a single mudslime on the bus was and how he/she/it now demands the sacking of the driver, sensitivity training for all the other drivers and a huge compensation pay out for having their delicate sensibilities offended.

Likely so, Keith O.

Let’s not forget the English translation of the muslim call to terror that they play…..The tune is identical to the Oscar Meyer bologna jungle from a while ago……
Our moon-god has a first name,
It’s a-l-l-a-h.
Out moon-god has no second name,
it’s A-L-L-A-H.
Oh we kill kafir most every-day,
and if you ask to whom we pray…………
To kill kafir is a-o-k,
says a-l-l-a-h, oy vey.
