Seventeen years after 9/11, this is the state of the world. The colonization proceeds apace.
“French kids should learn Arabic? Education minister suggests controversial curriculum change,” RT, September 10, 2018:
France’s minister of national education has expressed support for adding Arabic language to the school curriculum for French children, enraging the country’s right-wing that has warned of dire consequences if the plan goes ahead.
France should draw up a “qualitative strategy” for teaching Arabic language in schools, Jean-Michel Blanquer said during an interview on French television. He insisted that Arabic, along with Chinese and Russian, is one of the “great languages of civilization” and should be learned “not only by people of Maghrebi origin or Arabic-speaking countries.”
Blanquer’s comments were made in response to a report authored by the Montaigne Institute, a Paris-based think tank, which found that middle and high school students learning Arabic have increasingly turned to religious schools that teach Salafism – a radical branch of Islamic that advocates Sharia law. The report called on the French government to incorporate Arabic into the public school curriculum in order to counter the political and religious indoctrination taught at these Salafi schools.
Due to the rising popularity of these Islamic schools, Salafi indoctrination “is gaining ground in France” – especially among young people, the report’s author, Hakim El Karaoui, wrote. “The number of students learning Arabic in France’s secondary and high schools has halved. But the rate has multiplied by ten in mosques.”
But while Blanquer was quite vague on the possible pros and cons of such an endeavor, Robert Menard, the right-wing mayor of the town of Beziers, didn’t mince words when he decried Blanquer’s suggestion as a “project with incalculable consequences.”
“To develop the teaching of Arabic in school and to ‘give prestige’ is to legitimize the birth of another nation within France,” Menard tweeted. Apparently, he was not alone in his anger.…

Everybody should just speak English. Problem solved.

Damn right, Sir! Well said!
J D S says
Are going to make Muslim children learn French?
Now in some instances it might not be a bad idea to learn Arabic…especially if one might want to work in the government…if there is a government left when these kids grow up and in some security areas and law enforcement if there are any left by the time they grow up.
krishna says
same thing happened in india
when arabic and persian got mixed with hindi it became urdu
mccode says
There is no argument that there is much to be gained by knowing additional languages.
And, if one is adept in reading Arabic,there can be no debate about knowing firsthand the base and violent message of Islam’s vile texts.
But, I don’t think that was the purpose of advocating the additional curriculum.
StellaSaidSo says
Exactement, mmcode. The purpose is the Islamisation of France thru indoctrination of French children.
R Russell says
In the Island of Bute, Scotland, where several ‘migrants’ have been resettled, school children are to be taught Arabic.
Now since the migrant families will need to learn English in order to be able to communicate in their new country, I think we have to wonder why the Scottish born school children need to be taught Arabic?
Could it be it will be Classical Arabic, sacred to Muslims, so they can understand the Koran? Surely they don’t want them to understand the violence therein?
So we are left with a conundrum. Why are Scottish children learning Arabic? Does anyone have any ideas?

The onus has ALWAYS been on the new arrival to learn the language of the natives, not the reverse. Even the Normans gave up French when they realised that they needed to communicate with their English subjects.
The idea of kids on Bute being forced to learn Arabic makes me ill. If anything, they should be learning Gaelic, and preserving their own culture.
Islam is a scourge, a creeping plague that destroys everything in its path.
Steve says
Islamic (or even other alien mass) immigration will annihiliate the last pockets of Celtic culture and language, Celtic areas need to be specially protected from it.
Hari Singh says
Why are the French who are usually difficult on learning other languages being soft on Arabic?
The previous mass immigrants to France, the Irish and the Poles ssimilated into French culture and became French. Why are the Arabs so different?
But perhaps if the Arabs maintain their Arabic it will be easier to send them back.
But Question. Why when the Algerians and other Arabic speaking French colonies fought so hard to drive the French out do they now all move to France? In the final years Algeria was not a colony but a province of France with all the benefits. They kicked the French out, now they want to live in France.
Michael Copeland says
“Arabic …is one of the ….“great languages of civilization””, says Jean-Michel Blanquer.
Memo to M. Blanquer:
Arabia, the home of Arabic, imposes by force an ideology that has:
Slavery, daughter-killing, stonings, amputations, forced child marriage at 9, female genital mutilation, penalty-free murder of those who leave the ideology, no equality before the law, no freedom of religion, no freedom of speech, no stringed instruments, no dogs.
These are not “civilisation”.
Steve says
There is a useful book by David Pryce-Jones on the French fantasy of being a ‘Muslim Power’, ‘Betrayal: France, the Arabs, and the Jews’, another useful work is ‘The French Intifada: The Long War Between France and its Arabs’, by candid lefty Andrew Hussey.
Barbara says
It’s a great idea if the teacher is not a Muslim or at least is a cultural Muslim, but a human rights activist who thinks that the barbarity of the Quran does not apply today. Usually the children memorize Muslim prayers and passages from the Quran without understanding any of it. Having teachers who tell the truth about Arab history–for example, that it had Jewish and Christian kingdoms before the Muslims wiped them out and that tell about the barbarity and cruelty of the culture would be a good thing. If students read about the barbarity and senseless violence in the Quran and early Muslim writings from a non-Muslim teacher, it would be a good thing. However, Muslims are on their guard against the French because of their abuse of alcohol and flagrant immorality. Any sensible, moral person is going to be wary of modern French culture. Students need teachers who are good moral examples or else the students will retreat into Islam, looking for higher ground morally. And of course, they won’t find it.
StellaSaidSo says
As far as pious Muslims are concerned, ALL kuffar – not just the French ones – are ‘immoral’.
I have lived in France and I don’t recall a whole lot of anything that could be described as ‘flagrant immorality’. True, some Frenchman are a little too fond of the vin rouge, but you could say the same about the Brits and the Germans and the Aussies, who sometimes imbibe one or two beers too many. What do you mean by ‘any sensible, moral person is going to be wary of modern French culture’? What is your idea of a ‘sensible, moral person’? What aspects of ‘modern French culture’ should these ‘sensible, moral’ persons avoid?
James Lincoln says
The only people that really need to know Arabic are certain people in the intelligence community, as well as select military and law enforcement officers – all involved in antiterrorist activities.
Arabic can be learned at the college level. I personally know an FBI field agent who learned Arabic in college and now speaks fluently. She is currently involved in antiterrorist activities.
There is no place for teaching Arabic to children in Western countries.
clap says
There will be dire consequences if arabic is taught. Kids will be able to read the koran, find that islam is NOT a religion of peace, and become right wing nationalists. Things will be dire for the leftists.
Alien Republican says
No more “franglais”, just le “frarabe”. Bon appétit.
Baucent says
“Robert Menard, the right-wing mayor of the town of Beziers, didn’t mince words when he decried Blanquer’s suggestion as a “project with incalculable consequences.”
Robert Menard is well worth seeking out on video. He and his wife are often on French TV speaking against Islamization.
Emmanuel says
The context of this proposition is that it is a part of a global reform to control the religion of Islam in France. Because it is not taught in public schools, the children from Maghreb who want to learn arabic have to take classes in mosques where they receive the predominant salafist teaching along with it. By teaching arabic in public schools, M. Blanquer hopes to bring the values of the French Republic to the students and thwart the influence of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, etc.
John says
yes, add it, then the French can understand how what the terrorists are saying and maybe stop more Murders.
Daniel Silvan says
Sure, teach them Arabic. Next stop: Sharia. Ignorant traitors must be removed from power. Stupid people are dangerous and can cause much damage when put in authority.
Creole Gumbo says
The next step will be to ban French and provide all instruction in Arabic.
Brian hoff says
In medival french latin was the offical language of the royal couth and other lesser court the french was the language of the serf and lower class. All legal documents have to be writen in latin.
henrik arboe jensen says
il send him a letter. sending french homoxesual kids to Yemen, Brunei, Iran, or Saudi-arabia to learn some language. as long as it lasts. That minister is to french for his own good.the deathpenalty i those countries are imposed by victorian english colonilists, a testiment to islams stagnance.
UNCLE VLADDI says
Hmmm that’s right, Frogs love to Submit to the largest threat!
Maybe we can con the Quebecois into adopting Arabic, too!
😉
ronyvo says
I was born in Egypt, where Arabic is the official language. I have two children and refused to teach them Arabic. I consider Arabic a satanic language.
