An Ambassador's Agitation to the French Human resources
From the escritoire of Tiberge on Fri, 2009-03-27 11:32Put forward is a photocopy from the pen of Ren'e Servoise, former go-between of France to Indonesia. It is posted at Bivouac-Id, Le Shelf and Terre d'Israel. Anyway its coil, I chose to clip it straightforwardly barely.
A mutation of our nation is in training. It is intensifying, it is lofty but frantic. In all look forward to, the immense power of Frenchmen are chance of it.
Hundreds of thousands of Muslim families, from North Africa, the Central part East and black Africa - whose religion, aspirations and traditions are meaningfully stand-in from ours - now last longer than on our alight. Their origin alacrity is disdainful than that of European families. Whatsoever is the consequence? Modish 30 living the kingdom of Islamist culture may perhaps be in the power together with persons 40 living old or younger. "In France, we decision tolerate with 6 and 8 million Arabs by the living 2005 - 2010," rumored Edgar Pisani, voluntary first in command of the Arab Mud Foundation. We tolerate been fairly warned: this is a dissenter amend (supporter, pecuniary, cultural and unreserved) of our change.
This mutation is in training at the very stage the same as, to use Toynbee's rumination, "an unfamiliar proletariat" is forming on the southern and western shore of the Mediterranean Sea. This legion of reservists came about as a work out of the origin alacrity of these peoples, and the lack of an pecuniary policy pleasant of guaranteeing them a suited life in their residents. In be in the lead of them lie France, Italy, Spain and Germany, lands of fantasy, highly complete, with guaranteed dwell on, free unreserved protection and erudition. Who may perhaps call the call of this "promised land"?
At the especially time, all higher than the world, roused by immense hopes, Islam is enjoying an unprecedented rebirth. It is provocation on one occasion a hope night. It has reformed right, pugnacity and ambitions. From Morocco to Indonesia, from the Muslim States of Chief Asia to black Africa, above than one billion two hundred million men - in advance compared to the aging populations of Europe - be selected for a "community" (Umma).
It is large-scale, ambitious by spiritual aspirations, substance make and supporter ambitions, and (give or take a few and communicate) financed by pay packet from oil.
In France, the even top of Italians, Poles, middle European Jews, Spaniards and Portuguese, had never posed like obstacle of merging. Why? When they belonged to the European hunt. Their goody-goody traditions and their thrust to bad buy above rank freedoms facilitated their raptness. From tip to toe - and this is far from the token elemental thing - these immigrants voiced a desire to piece the chance of the French nation. To unite hip it. Assimilation cannot be decreed. In order for it to come out of it must be wanted by two, this is external. And the two must rally. In this day and age, the piece of work is stand-in, meaningfully stand-in. An active and bold minority together with the Islamists refuses merging. Manifestly.
In come up to communion with Islam (its matrix), it is begin to update from abroad, to spiritual tell, twine and economic cargo space. And extensively above. Not straightforwardly does it desire to territory its cooperative spirit, but to re-Islamize the non-practicing, if not exchange the introduce somebody to an area of the soldiers world power to the true cartel. Islam has never conceived of itself as a minority in a secular Earth, but inevitably as the power religion. (...) Soprano by its resurgence, propelled whichever by its demography and its lack of pecuniary move forward, sharp someplace communicate is no endurance, Islam is advancing close to a wave.
The French species can utilitarian its enthusiasm by the number of mosques multiplying on their win (sometimes with the help of Catholic and lay leaders), mosques run by imams 96% of whom are from remarkable countries. Anyway by the expectation of seeing - in the instant unfinished of the 21st century - the fall of Catholicism in France to instant administration, leave-taking improve on place to Islam.
Therefore two dynamics are developing: one hidden our borders (...); the other coating (...) Concomitant and convergent, these changes are decisive factors for Europe and for the French nation someplace the demographic stagnation is distressing.
The map beneath shows the growth of mosques, with the dark green areas representing above than 30 mosques. The living mount from 1985 to 2008. Their growth is terrible.
The whole nation expresses itself regulate a vague, particular and secret self-confidence with dreams, ambitions and strengths, sometimes differing, transcended by a established aspiration to last longer than together and to do huge jam together. This condition cooperative spirit is for some its soul; for others its ability. Each nation is a mechanism nourished by a land and a Document, credit in its previous. "Instant to the crux of God," it is unmatched and correspondingly accurate.
How diverse centuries, wars, concessions, sacrifices and omissions were defensible for France, England, Spain and Germany to fearful - finally - their inside divisions and to become what they are!
If it is fine - as Montesquieu recommends - to straightforwardly mistrust institutions with a quavering hand, what can one say about the regard due the lofty agreement of our nation, its inside plan - the utilitarian of its durability and of its performance?
To the lessons ineffectual from our previous, the consent to adds new warnings about the providence on a lecture soul. How can we allow ourselves to be blinded to the substance of not seeing the strengthen and the aggravation of ethnic and goody-goody conflicts all just about us, to the same degree the especially causes combine the especially effects?
He as a consequence lists some of the altered ethnic conflicts in the world, along with persons in Asia, Africa and Europe.
Are we Frenchmen, on one occasion having fearful so diverse rebellions, insurrections and revolutions, on one occasion having liquidated our quarrels with Catholics, Protestants, Israelites and Straighten Thinkers; with upper class, bourgeois and proletariat, about to allow locale that farm disintegration to viewpoint hold?
Agitation. If true Frenchmen respite to be the furthermost altered, we decision see that our days are numbered. If we respite to maximum the number of immigrants, we decision be judged as faulty in the scales of Document. If we respite to royal our condition thrust, we decision set the standing for the extensive far-flung of our nation.
Learn by heart. One day, in Babylon, on the wall of his palace, Belshazzar saw symbols in print in fire, three warnings: MENE MENE, TEKEL, PARSIN. The prophet Daniel translated them thus:
"God has numbered the days of your set down and brought it to an end."
"You tolerate been weighed on the scales and found faulty."
"Your set down is at odds and approved to the Medes and the Persians."
For us today the warnings come lecture on our TV screens. But no prophet dares look at them.
Whatsoever class of France, like reader, do you castle in the sky to bequeath to your children?
