The time is coming, barring some cataclysmic change, when the conquerors will outlaw the French language among the conquered people, just as Coptic was outlawed in Egypt.
“Arabic: France’s New Second Language,” by Hélène de Lauzun, European Conservative, November 24, 2023:
A newly released study shows, for the first time in French history, that the second most widely spoken language in the country is dialectal Arabic, with an estimated population of between three and four million speakers. The resulting population ratio in favour of people mainly of North African origin is fraught with consequences.
France has had the distinction of having enshrined French as its official language in its constitution since 1992. Alongside French, there are some 72 regional languages and so-called ‘non-territorial’ languages. These include dialectal Arabic, which, according to Le Figaro, is ahead of the Creole languages spoken in the French overseas territories, Berber, Alsatian, Occitan, and Breton. French, regional languages, and non-territorial languages make up together what are known as the ‘languages of France.’
Today, dialectal Arabic is spoken by more people than all the other regional languages combined. However, its linguistic contours are blurred and difficult to define, as it is the result of a variety of influences, depending in particular on its origins, mainly the various countries of North Africa that were formerly French possessions—Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia. In France, there is also dialectal Arabic of Lebanese, Egyptian, or Syrian origin, but this is in a minority. Depending on their country of origin, speakers of this dialectal Arabic do not necessarily understand each other, as there are so many variants. There can be as many differences between a speaker from the Arabian Peninsula and a Moroccan speaker as there are between Portuguese and Romanian, both of which are Romance languages, explains linguist Jean Sellier….

A lot of Europeans do not seem to realize the differences in ideology between Islam and Christianity. And they do not want to know the dangers involved. This may change as anti-Semitic und anti-Christlan attacks increase. But it almost seems too late, because of the differential birthrates and immigration rates, that seem to favor Islamization. Really sad.

Anti-Charles Martel types are now ruling France.
This does not bode well for what’s left of France.
From Martel to Macon is a steep descent. Quite steep.
And utterly unnecessary. But still very much occurring. And demonstrating, if not outright proving, that the greatest traitors to the West in all of the West’s history have been the leaders of the West over the past half century or so, and especially in the last twenty years. Damn them all.

If the French collaboration with Nazi Germany during WWII is anything to go by then there is no hope. We see all these movies about the noble French Resistance but the reality is that while beanstalk de Gaulle was blabbing away on the BBC in London most of the French were in the misssionary position with the Germans. It’s a real shock to see the details of French collaboration from the Vichy traitors right down to the ordinary “citizens”. Nice anthem they have but it means nothing. Fake prestige, like their so-called sophisticated language which is just slurred Latin. They need to get off their derrieres. A derriere is a hell of a name for what Americans mean by “ass”.
