Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

France: Nearly 20% of newborns have Muslim or Arabic first names

Jan 20, 2020 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

What could possibly go wrong? Celebrate diversity. Clearly the possibility that these Muslim newborns might grow up to be less than tolerant of Infidels is something only greasy Islamophobes. Who ever heard of Islamic societies being authoritarian or supremacist. All will be well and all manner of thing will be well.

“Nearly One-in-Five French Newborn Boys Have Muslim or Arabic First Names,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, January 18, 2020:

According to French political scientist Jérôme Fourquet, the number of newborn males with Arabic or Muslim first names has increased from just one per cent in 1960, to 19 per cent today.

Fourquet noted that the decline in the French birthrate — there were 70,000 fewer children born in 2019 than in 2014 — has led to the growth of Arabic-Muslim names among newborns. He added that “sustained migratory flows, particularly since the beginning of the 2000s”, has also contributed to the trend, Le Figaro reports.

“The study of the prevalence of types of first names among newborns makes it possible in particular to aggregate the strength of legal and illegal migratory flows, because, with some exceptions, all children born on French soil are registered with INSEE [France’s national statistics bureau], even if their parents are illegal,” he added.

To combat the declining birthrate, Fourquet did not advocate the German model of mass migration but said that France should not “lock ourselves into a binary alternative between natalist policies or the use of immigration”.

“If Germany has favoured immigration, it is because the retirement age is already very high and the unemployment rate is at its lowest (3.5 per cent). France could play on these two levers and in particular on the unemployment rate to significantly increase the number of contributors, before resorting to additional immigration,” he said.

Demographic shifts have also been observed among religious groups in France, with a report released last year showing that there were now as many practising Muslims in the 18- to 29-year-old demographic as practising Roman Catholics…

    If these young Muslims are first indoctrinated by the French school system to believe in French egalitarianism, they may become very loyal French citizens, but if they study Islam and its ‘essential’ teaching of Islamic apartheid (Al Walaa wal Baraa) these children will be indoctrinated to hate the dirty kufaar ‘for the sake of Allah’ and to make jihad warfare against them ‘in the cause of Allah’.

    Any Muslim can merely increase his faith at any moment and become an instant jihadist. We have seen this happen in a few weeks when a Muslim is exposed for the first time to stirring jihadist teachings.

    The answer to jihadism is to convince Muslims that the Koran is of human origin. Once convinced, they cannot return to jihadism.

      “The answer to jihadism is to convince Muslims that the Koran is of human origin. Once convinced, they cannot return to jhadism.”

      I’ll see you and raise you, mortimer. Once convinced that the Koran was made up by humans and not some fictional Allah, I don’t see how any Muslim can remain Muslim at all. Whether you destroy Mohammed or the Koran, you effectively destroy Islam.

        My guess. The attraction of (muslim superiority) out weighs reality, they will continue down the same path of uselessness and jihad.

      • gravenimage says

        Mortimer, how many Muslims have you been able to convince that they should leave Islam? I note that you have never said.

      “If these young Muslims are first indoctrinated by the French school system to believe in French egalitarianism, they may become very loyal French citizens…”

      But they’d only be in school for about 25 hours per week, probably considerably less than 30% of their waking lives during term time, then they’d have the school holidays. And in that out-of-school time they’d be indoctrinated with islam – that’s assuming that islamic indoctrination hasn’t also got into the schools. And we musn’t forget that muslim immigrants would NOT have arrived in France (or anywhere else) with the object of becoming ‘good citizens’.

      • Ashley says

        Jan 20, 2020 at 3:19 pm

        Agree, Jayell.

        The French school system can only do so much for Little Mohammad. Chances are Little Mohammad will be exposed to Islamic teachings by his Muslim family, friends, the local mosque, etc. before learning to spell C-A-T.

        Chances are Little Mohammad will be attending an Islamic school in France anyway…

          Although I’ve long supported school voucher programs to enable more parents to send their kids to private schools, including religiously oriented schools, the downside of that idea is becoming increasingly clear.

      Certainly,the koran is of human origin.

      And by any standards,allah’s “perfect” book is the work of a lunatic.

      Consider the fact that when muslims die,according to their koran, they apparently have to stand before allah’s SHIN {koran 68:42}
      {allah has one leg,one foot and two RIGHT HANDS}

      And amazingly their hands and feet will start talking and testify AGAINST them.

      “On that day when their tongues and their hands and their feet testify against them as to what they use to do”
      koran 24:24

      Imagine the scenario:Abdool dies and stands before allah’s SHIN..
      Then incredibly,his feet and hands start talking,complaining about him to allah.

      Abdools Feet:oh allah,my feet are destroyed by all that jogging
      Abdools Mouth:what the..?How can feet speak?
      Abdools Hands:hey allah,..you wouldn’t believe what he does with his RIGHT hand..*ugh*..it’s disgusting..
      Allah: What’s wrong with Right hands?I have TWO RIGHT HANDS{sahih muslim 1827}
      Abdools Anus:nothing allah..nothing..i’m just saying’..

      Mortimer ,….you are more optimistic than me ! I see this as another indication of the demise of France . Parents who want to honor Muhammad by naming their son after him or another Islamic person of notoriety is probably going to make sure their child is raised Islamic .

    France is already dead.

    • gravenimage says

      Jan 20, 2020 at 9:10 pm

      Not yet. There are still some patriotic Frenchmen left. They just need to make themselves heard.

      • Wellington says

        Jan 20, 2020 at 11:19 pm

        Agreed, gravenimage. Many thought France dead as of June of 1940 but France still had de Gaulle and a great (though largely unappreciated) ally in Churchill.

        Hmmm. No de Gaulle in sight now though Le Pen might do and BoJo might be enough as an ally.

        Verdict still out though France is arguably in even deeper trouble now than when the Third Reich was at its height. No sense giving up but collaborating with the enemy, whether by way of Petain siding with the Germans or Macron pretending that there can be a “French Islam,” could never, can never, result in a free and great France.

        Time for a reckoning—in France, in all of Europe, in all of the West which is in a war to the death and, sad to say, most in the West still have no clue.

        • gravenimage says

          Jan 20, 2020 at 11:23 pm

          True, Wellington. I hope enough people are waking up.

        • Rufolino says

          Jan 21, 2020 at 5:20 am

          Time for a reckoning, yes. But not enough people are waking up.

          A war to the death, yes, this will certainly happen. It will begin with guerrilla activity and gradually develop into civil war. As things stand, there is probably no other outcome.

          To suppress violence, governments will side against their own citizens. A catastrophe.

          Jan 21, 2020 at 9:02 pm

          First people need to speak out, The idea that there is nothing between silence and blood in the streets is much mistaken.

    This shows the sly growing subversive, insidious influence of Islam in France “by hook or by crook,” by immigration or by many French people becoming proselytized to Islam

    This Muslim scheme for influence and power in France is called the stealth jihad and is many times, as subtly effective as it is demonically clever.

    Furthermore, this Islamic gradualism, in some ways, is very similar to the instruction printed in the book entitled THE ART OF WAR by Sun Tzu. Which reads “At first, then, exhibit the coyness of a maiden, until the enemy gives you an opening; afterwards emulate the rapidity of a running hare, and it will be too late for the enemy to opposes you”

  4. Hugh Fitzgerald says

    One out of five newborns in France has an Arabic or Muslim first name. But there are also Muslim children who are given “French” first names. So 20% is only the minimum figure; possibly one out of four newborns is Muslim. The French need a pro-natalist policy that encourages larger families among those whose grandparents were French. Some will object to France passing laws that actually favor the French — what an unheard-of idea! — but they can, and must be, ignored. This is not racism; it”s self-preservation. .

    • gravenimage says

      Jan 20, 2020 at 9:13 pm

      Grimly true, Hugh.

    Figures like this are terrible news. Muslims seem to breed at a far, far faster rate than non-Muslims in all our western societies. When you reach figures like this one for France, I think France may well be doomed. The Muslims will, if allowed to do so, surely multiply and, inevitably, take over the society. They surely aren’t ever interested in integrating into a non-Muslim society. They always are out to impose barbaric islam by every method that they can find. The only answer is the Hungarian and other Visegrad countries’ solution, ie keep Muslims out. Many of these western European countries, such as France, Belgium, maybe the UK, Germany, Sweden, etc, seem doomed to a Muslim take over eventually. Maybe they can somehow reverse things, but they do seem very far gone.

      Exactly , the hirya is working and the Trojan horse was graciously accepted by the governments of France , the UK , Germany, Sweden , Belgium and even the US thanks to Barack Hussein Obama and the State Department.

      • tim gallagher says

        Jan 21, 2020 at 3:34 am

        Yes, Sons of Liberty, pretty well all of our western societies have fallen for the BS about how Islam is quite peaceful and Muslims will generally make good citizens, who will want to integrate peacefully into our societies. I know that that has been the attitude of most people in Australia where I live, although I think more people are waking up these days. Australia is lucky in that it hasn’t let as many Muslims in as many western European countries, such as France, et al, have done. I just hope that the people in all of our western countries wake up and demand tough government action and we get policies that are more like the Visegrad bloc countries. When it comes to Islam, I’m sure that the Visegrad bloc countries are on the right track, the only sensible track. The western European countries have to stop the rot or they have had it.

    Jan 20, 2020 at 4:36 pm

    Oriana Fallaci 1929-2006 was an Italian journalist. Years ago she said: Europe lost its soul to the Muslims, they come and breed like rats. She also wrote: “ The increased presence of Muslims in Italy and Europe is directly proportional to our loss of freedom.” As well as:” The Muslims refuse our culture and try to impose their culture on us. I reject them and this is not only my duty toward my culture-it is toward my values, my principles, my civilization. The moment you give up your principles and our values, you’re dead, your culture is dead, your civilization is dead.” This lady was spot on. We have to ask ourselves what is it about our leaders in Europe and the US don’t see the danger. Like Hitler they’re telling us they want the world to be Islam, and for all of us to follow The Cult-of-Mo. Only a few countries understand the danger, time for others to emerge from their coma.

    • Sons of Liberty says

      Absolutely spot on by Oriana Fallaci ! You give up your Western values and culture you eventually give up your FREEDOM .

    • tim gallagher says

      Jan 21, 2020 at 4:09 am

      I agree, Anna, Oriana Fallaci was spot on about the troubles Islam was bringing and would continue to bring. She woke up early. The people who woke up early impress me. I think it was because she had such a strong appreciation of our excellent western civilisation. She believed strongly in our way of life, which has been built over the centuries. I talk to many people these days who have a very lukewarm attitude towards our western way of life. I know our western way of life has flaws, as anything human does, but I know it is immensely superior to and far more humane than totally barbaric, backward islam. There seem to be many people around who are wishy washy and don’t have the appreciation for our western way of life. I agree with your comment about how many countries seem to be in coma. That’s a good way to put it. They should have woken up long ago. I agree with your comments, gravenimage and Sons of Liberty.

    Yeah! France. (Nothing new on the Western Front.)

    In the entire UK for years now the most popular name for newborn males has been Muhammad.

    That is, if you count variants as “Mohammed”, “Ahmed”, “Mehmet” etc. as one which makes sense as the Arab writing has no vocals.

    In several German towns (eg, Hamburg, Bremen) it is the same, and while the official statistics count the German name “Alexander” as one with the Slavic (Polish, Russian) spelling “Aleksandar”, it is interesting to note they count each of the above mentioned variants separately.

    I wonder why ….

    This spells disaster. Unless a dramatic reversal in demographic trends somehow takes place immediately, in 30 years from now (optimistically) it’ll be game over for countries like France.

    France had by far the largest number of colonies / conquests in the islamic world. This is a natural consequence.

    • gravenimage says

      Jan 20, 2020 at 9:35 pm

      Not so, Peter. France invaded Algeria in the early 19th century because it would not stop Jihad pirate attacks against Infidel shipping.

      Your idea that defending against Jihad leads automatically to Muslim conquest is *not* inevitable–it is foolishness on the part of the French for allowing Muslims to flood into France itself.

  11. James Lincoln says

    Jan 20, 2020 at 6:55 pm

    According to Pew Research, as of 2016, muslims make up 8.8% of the French population.

    Under a zero immigration scenario, in 2050 muslims will make up 12.7% of the French population.

    Under a moderate immigration scenario, in 2050 muslims will make up 17.4% of the French population.

    The demographics – both now and moving forward – are horrific.
