Muslims in France comprise about ten percent of the country’s population. The rioters were made up of a significantly higher percentage of Muslims, and were a clear indication that despite the present strains over the trans madness and LGBTQ overreach, the Leftist/Islamic alliance is still quite strong. Both Leftists and many Muslims in France would like to see the republic fall and be replaced by an authoritarian state they believe they could exploit to their own advantage.
“Riots: the quantified distribution of the first names of the 2,300 arrested in the police zone,” translated from “Emeutes : la répartition chiffrée des prénoms des 2 300 interpellés en zone police,” by Corinne Lhaïk, l’Opinion, July 12, 2023:
The facts – A national police census counts the first names among the 2,300 people arrested in the police zone during the riots following the death of Nahel in Nanterre on June 27.
The question of first names is often controversial. In L’archipel français, Editions du Seuil, Jérôme Fourquet pointed out the importance of Arab-Muslim first names given at birth to boys: they went from 0% of French first names in 1950 to 8% in 1980 and 19% in 2016. Community withdrawal, progress in diversity, pride in identity: the political scientist’s reference work has been both praised and criticized on this point.
The analysis of first names has a very political use today, in particular to decipher the profile of the rioters after the death of Nahel in Nanterre. The right claims that they are mostly of immigrant origin, as evidenced by their first names. Gérald Darmanin, the Minister of the Interior, replies that the looters have “a lot of Kevins and Mattéos.”
What do the numbers say? On July 7, BFMTV publishes the list of the top 20 names of people arrested. The order is alphabetical, from Adam to Yanis via Mohamed and Hugo. “It would be interesting to have the numbers,” retorts François-Xavier Bellamy, LR MEP, convinced like all of the right and the far right of the link between the absence of assimilation (preferred word to that of integration) and participation in violence. The postulate is that North African-sounding first names would indicate the place of birth of the parents or grandparents.
The Opinion was able to have access to an encrypted distribution. It concerns the 2,300 arrests made in the police zone. That is to say the whole of France, minus the (rural) gendarmerie areas, Paris and the three departments of the inner suburbs: Hauts-de-Seine (92), Seine-Saint-Denis (93) and Val-de-Marne. This is a census made by the national police. We find, in descending order:
Muhammad: 81
Yanis: 31
Enzo: 25
Maxim: 21
Adam: 19
Lucas: 18
Jordan: 15
Rayan: 14
Brian: 14
Nathan: 13
Nicholas: 13
Ali: 13
Hugo: 13
Alexis: 13
Yacin: 11
Theo: 11
Ibrahim: 10
Paul: 10
The rest of the first names are scattered in much smaller numbers.
In the sample that l’Opinion was able to consult, the proportion of Arab-Muslim first names (Mohamed, Yanis, Rayan, Ali, Yacin, Ibrahim) represents 160 people out of a total of 335.
David M says
So are the French authorities going to throw the book at them as a warning for the next rioters, or just give them a slap on the wrist?
John says
despite making up less than 10 percent of pop, Ms make up 50 percent of rioters.
Hoi Polloi says
In a few years the headline will instead read: “France: Most common first name of [all males according to the last census] is Muhammad, Muslim names found among 47% of the [general population].
࿗Infidel࿘ says
I’d like to see muslims who become trans-men rename themselves Mohammed. Maybe from Mariam, or others. It’ll be hilarious to see muslims totally freak out over that 😈
Hoi Polloi says
Ha
Tatanka says
How many were muslims and how many were white hating anarchy loving idiots and criminals should the question have been.

It’s very appropriate to reiterate that those Muslim rioting in Paris , France isn’t limited to that nation. Such Islamic rioting occurs in the other countries of Europe as well .as in for example Germany Sweden, Denmark Sweden Germany etc. This unthankful Islamic spirit on the part of those lawless violent Muslims who immigrated to the countries of Europe may be explain, in part, by the fact that the Muslim fundamentalist group that even had the president of Egypt assassinated in the month of October of the year 1981 has a fifty –five booklet that is was written only for Muslims fundamentalists but was later discover by non-Muslims.
This booklet’s title is THE NEGLECTED DUTY. One scholar, Johannes Jansen who had thoroughly investigated Islam and Islamic terrorism has even discover that those Muslims, who had entered Europe of behaved in violent and heinous ways, are actually action out what they view and a sacred individual duty of the jihad as by engaging in awful violent criminal action in non-Muslim lands . As Jansen revealed that jihad booklet of Islam, THE NEGLECTED DUTY “contains all the ideological material needed to justify the attacks of 9/11 or any other acts of terror committed to frighten non-Muslims. And he thinks the document explains the criminal behavior of suburban and center –city immigrant youngsters in many European cities; its author clearly ‘sees Islam as license to kill rob and commit arson.’ “ [1]
Nevertheless, many of the apologists for Islam still have that blatant gall , in spite of all the facts of reality, to actually make the claim the Islam is a “peaceful religion.” What a totally false to make that Islam is “a peaceful religion “What Bull! A “peaceful religion” indeed.

Walter Sieruk says
Those rioting destructive Muslims in the Paris is an horrendous evil and no excuse by any imam or mullah can ,truly, hide that terrible truth.
Such Muslim ungratefulness and unthankfulness for letting them enter France to live. This this further exposes the Muslim’s Islamic arrogant contempt for people who are Westerners and Western civilization, Western laws.
This Muslim violence may be yet better explained by one of the fables of Aesop which is entitled THE FARMER AND THE VIPER. So here it is “Once in ancient Greece there was a farmer outside on a very cold winter day walking in if field to make sure that everything is in order and as it should be. The farmer came upon a half-froze viper about to die from the bitter cold. The kind yet foolish farmer took pity on the viper and in an action of kindness put it his is vest jacket to warms and up and thus save its life. The viper warned up revived and then bit farmer through the vest jacket. So the kind but foolish farmer died a slow painful death in awful agony because he felt sorry of the viper and saved it life. The point to this fable is the no amount of kindness will change and vicious and evil nature.
So it is with those Muslim migrants who were allowed to enter France to live . Those violent migrants who are Muslims will not be impress and change because kindness of Westerners. This is because those violent Muslims have that ungrateful dangerous viper nature because of their venomous and violent religion which is Islam.
Marcus says
Mr Spencer I would like to know your opinion on theodere dalyrymple’s analysis of migrants from muslim countries and his analysis of islam. He speaks truths about the migrants but he denies that their belief in islam has anything to do with the rape and violence they commit.
