Pierre Manent said: “If [the Muslim population of Europe] grows indefinitely, as is the case in Europe today, we will face tragedies that no version of secularism will be able to control.”
He was quite right, of course, but he is being denounced as an “Islamophobe,” and Europe appears determined to continue on its merry way to Sharia and self-destruction.
“French philosopher shocks the web with his comments on Muslims,” translated from “Un philosophe français choque la toile avec ses propos sur les musulmans,” Bladi.net, December 7, 2024 (thanks to David):
French philosopher Pierre Manent has given his opinion on immigration and the number of Muslims in Europe. But his comments have sparked a heated controversy on social media.
“Can we still live together?” Invited onto the set of Figaro TV, as part of a program on secularism, French philosopher Pierre Manent responds bluntly: “We still have to look at the masses, the forces, and realize that the pressure is such that we have to make decisions concerning, I say it bluntly, the number of Muslims in Europe.” Supporting his argument, he stated that the number of Muslims in Europe “cannot grow indefinitely.”
“If it grows indefinitely, as is the case in Europe today, we will face tragedies that no version of secularism will be able to control,” concluded the philosopher. These remarks sparked strong reactions from Internet users. “But how horrible this guy is!” wrote one of them on X. “Do you realize how crazy he is?” asked another. These remarks represent “a clear incitement to commit a crime against humanity,” he believes. “When Le Figaro easily broadcasts racist anti-Muslim remarks…”, similarly deplores a user.
In the process, some public figures, such as the journalist and author François-Xavier Consoli, have, on the other hand, given their support to Pierre Manent. “Religion is at the center of most current issues; brushing it aside only delays the end of future conflicts,” he argued on his X account. “We will not solve any problem as long as we continue to lie to ourselves with the outdated idea of a “one and indivisible” France,” hammered home essayist Julien Rochedy.
In the eyes of former elected official Christian Lechevalier, the philosopher’s visit is “extraordinary.” “Finally!! Pierre Manent dares to talk about limiting the number of those who only come to destroy our civilization!” he rejoiced on his X account.

It is probably too late for most of Western Europe. Without repatriations, France, UK, Sweden, Germany become Muslim republics by the 2060s or so. Repatriations – paying them even tens of thousands of dollars to return home, would though in fact be cheaper than paying their social speculates for them plus pensions. It would also reduce pressure on housing, medical systems, roads, water, sewage systems etc., without thinking of the cultural destruction to Western societies.
Tony says
He reads the writing on the wall. Allah in Qur’an 8:39 says, “And engage in war with them[Non-Muslims] until there will not be sedition and the religion will be completely to Allah…” Allah in Quran 9:111 says, “Surely Allah has purchased from the believers[Muslims] their souls and their money so that they may have the garden[Heavenly Paradise]. They engage in war for the sake of Allah, so they k i l l and are k i l led…”
Hank says
“broadcasts racist anti-Muslim remarks”
Mixing the word racist shows the deception of the user. Islam is not a race.
“we will face tragedies that no version of secularism will be able to control”
A diplomatic way of saying it – he means when the numbers reach the critical mass and Islamists try to take over and the whole thing gets out of control – in short a civil war
somehistory says
He is right and so are those who support him in the comments quoted above.
It is amazing that even now, when thousands of little children have been raped, many murdered by mozlums; thousands of terror attacks have been mozlum-committed, hundreds of mozlum clerics have stated their intentions of killing all people who refuse islam, there are still people who call it “racist” to point out that this can’t continue and anyone still be alive to object.
There is an old song (1959) by Johnny Cash about a flood. The end is inevitable

“We will face Tragedies”
Well no Shit Sherlock!
Tim gallagher says
Well said, Zeena. I can’t believe how many idiots in our societies still haven’t woken up to the menace Islam represents. People, including this philosopher, should have woken years ago.
Tim gallagher says
I just want to add that the shit is really beginning to hit the fan out here in Australia with the ferocious, evil anti Jewish sentiment and the Muslims. All year Long Muslims and their leftist imbecilic mates expressing hate for Jews and Israel, then cars set alight in the eastern suburbs of Sydney where many Jews live, then the synagogue in Melbourne burnt down, then last night cars again set alight in Sydney and our gullible dopes of politicians are finally expressing shock, disgust,etc. I think, as a person who woke up to Islam 20 plus years ago, oh, so you dopey politicians are finally having your noses rubbed in reality. You morons created this far worse society by letting hate filled Muslims in. Good work, you idiots.
James Lincoln says
Tim,
Does Australia have any politician who could follow in the footsteps of Pres. Trump and MAGA “Make Australia Great Again”?
Tim gallagher says
James, we have our next federal election around may next year. I admire Peter Dutton, the present leader of the liberal party, our conservatives, who are in opposition. Our current Labor government are pretty far left and have been hopeless. But,hey, they were voted in by Australians. Dutton would a tough and courageous prime minister. Others I like are James Patterson, mykhalia cash and a few others. After Trump’s win, I think and I hope the liberals, with Dutton as leader, might possibly win.
James Lincoln says
Thanks so much for your reply, Tim.
Tim gallagher says
You are welcome, James. Here are a few other politicians out here that I like. Sarah Henderson, Keith Pitt, Matt Canavan and Jane hume. However, as with most other western countries, we have many very wishy washy types, quite left wing, who have infiltrated the liberal party but really belong in the Labor party. Hope you and your family are going well. As you can imagine, Peter Dutton is loathed by the left wing wanker brigade.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Isn’t it obvious, just from the behavior of muslims when they are a miniscule minority in those countries, even if they are majorities in certain areas?
dani says
I’m afraid it’s already too late for western europe.
Jimbo says
Doesn’t take a real genius to realize this. That being said; I’m glad he is speaking out about it.
Troybeam says
Simply put: too late.
James Lincoln says
According to the feature article:
“French philosopher warns that if Muslim population in Europe grows indefinitely, ‘we will face tragedies”
Consider this:
If, on the other hand, the *actual native* population in Europe grew indefinitely, Europe would enjoy prosperity. Smart countries like Hungary are following this path.
Eva says
Bravo!!!
Someone (apart from us) has finally said it.
moslems in any number are bad news wherever they are.
The only hope we have is expel the lot of them.
Rotten eye says
The ultimate conflict in the future, when Islam has stretched its tentacles around the world, will be between the tyrants of Islam and those people wishing to live in freedom. The urge for freedom will outweigh tyranny, however there will be unimaginable destruction and death. Compare to the religious wars in Europe extending over a hundred years. This is what lies in our future.
Jamie James says
I think any right-minded person knows exactly what will happen, Islam will achieve it’s ultimate goal and conquer the world. Good luck to the generations that will live through that because the generation before did not act.
Skeptiker says
Wenn ich schon den Kampfbegriff Islamophobie höre, weiß ich, wo der Frosch die Locken hat.
Wir haben keine Phobie=Angst , wir verachten euch.
Mike says
Skeptiker: well-said. I think it was the late Christopher Hitchens who said, “‘Islamophobia’ is a term invented by fascists and used by cowards, to manipulate morons.”
Lizabee says
Hijrah; Demographic Jihad…it’s what Muslims do to turn infidel countries into Islamic dominated countries. They’ve been doing it for centuries.
terry says
Are not the people of the West, and all over, already facing ‘ tragedies’ because of Islam? Let alone the tragedies added to the world because of Globalist Elites and Marxism? Those pillaged, raped, murdered, and their trafficking of goods, services, and organized criminal acts by all three of these powers and forces, ALREADY Tragedy? God knows and GOD Almighty sees each and every single tragedy perpetrated by these violent, mad, psychopaths ruling our world today! And the greatest tragedy of all is their collusive, feudalistic criminal enterprises all working hand in hand to rule the world, together: is not this already tragedy?
John Pepple says
I’ve been waiting for over twenty years for elites in the West to realize the danger we are in. Maybe this is what I’ve been waiting for, but I’m not counting on it.
