10/15/2008: "Sarkozy goes against his political mandate and launches enthusiastic promotion of Islamic culture"

The French government is strongly advocating the teaching of Arabic language and civilization in French schools.

The French National Assembly was the scene of a meeting earlier this month of the first Conference on the Teaching of Arabic Language and Culture, attended by a variety of interested parties. There was much wearisome blather about the need for "dialogue."

In his message to the participants, French President Nicolas Sarkozy called Arabic the "language of the future, of science and of modernity," and expressed the hope that "more French people share in the language that expresses great civilizational and spiritual values."

"We must invest in the Arabic language (because) to teach it symbolizes a moment of exchange, of openness and of tolerance, (and it) brings with it one of the oldest and most prestigious civilizations of the world. It is in France that we have the greatest number of persons of Arabic and Muslim origin. Islam is the second religion of France," Sarkozy reminded his listeners.

[ What this shows is that Sarkozy, who was largely elected on his anti-immigrant rhetoric, should never have been trusted to represent the interests of indigenous French people. He is now paving the way for Islam to progress and further destroy French culture. ]
