Open to people of different nationalities. This fact brings together all of humanity, because it is difficult to imagine if the British were allowed to live exclusively in England, and the Americans - only in the United States.

The world is big, and everyone in it wants to see more, to cross the borders of their native state, to touch other cultures, to get to know other people, their traditions and values. At the same time, those who decided to just look at it may like the new place, and as a result, a person of a different nationality and religion becomes part of a new country for himself.

That is why the demographic indicators of different states reflect not only the size of the indigenous population, but also a considerable number of representatives of different nations. This allows you to integrate one culture into another, create something new and develop it. National composition France is also diverse and has its own characteristics.

Population of France

About 67 million people live in France, which places this state in the twentieth place in terms of population among the 197 UN member states and twenty-first in the world.

The entire national composition of France can be called one French society, because, unlike what happens in other countries, immigrants rallied quite well with the native citizens - so that it is almost impossible to determine a person's belonging to a particular ethnic group outwardly. Is it possible to single out those who arrived in the country in the 20th century. Almost everyone in France owns French, which is the only official one. At the same time, dialects and other languages ​​are preserved in peripheral territories.

National composition of France

The history of France is marked by periods when its territories were constantly inhabited by other peoples, which influenced the culture, the formation of language and traditions. Modern demographics show how many nations are attracted to France. The population, whose national composition is diverse, can be divided according to ethnic criteria into three main groups: the first is the North European, or Baltic; the second is Central European, or Alpine; the third is South European, or Mediterranean.

On the other hand, the population can also be divided into those who gravitate towards the central historical regions, those who prefer the old historical provinces such as Normandy or Corsica, and those who are emigrant communities that came out of the country's former colonies.

The population density is 107 people per square kilometer. This allows the French, Alsatians, Bretons, Flemings and Catalans to get along closely. At the same time, the national composition of France as a percentage allows us to conclude that residents whose origin is not French, make up 25%. From total number migrants 40% - from Africa, 35% - from Europe and other countries, 14% from Southeast Asia. Migration within the country is constantly increasing, and movement, rapprochement of cultures is intensifying.

Religious composition of France

The national and religious composition of the population of France are closely interconnected. Becoming a part of a new state for himself, the migrant brings his religion and his customs to its territory. In addition, the indigenous population is also characterized by pluralism of religions.

Most of them are supporters of the Catholic Church. Their percentages are 85%. In second place is the Muslim faith, whose adherents make up 8%. 2% are Protestants, 5% are representatives of other religions.

The ratio of urban and rural population

The city and the countryside have always been the main centers for the development of the value-traditional heritage of any country. The interests and views of these two groups often do not coincide, but at the same time they are all united by a common territory, history and culture. The national and religious composition of France is diverse both in the city and in the countryside. A city is a locality with a population of at least 1,000 people. Based on such data, the urban population prevails with an indicator of 77%, while the rural population - 23%.

The largest in terms of population is Paris, where you can contemplate the beauty eiffel tower 2.5 million inhabitants. Population of others major cities France, such as Marseille, Lyon, Toulouse, Lille, ranges from 1.3 to 2 million people. The fertile regions in the north of the country, the areas of the sea coast, the plains of Alsace and the valleys of local rivers are characterized by a high density of the rural population. At the same time, wherever the citizens of France live, they always meet new faces with a smile and are distinguished by their special friendliness.

Dynamics and sex and age structure of the population of France

In France, the average age of the population in different years fluctuates around 39-40 years. At the same time, the average age of women is 40.9, and men - 38 years. According to the age criterion, the largest number of the population falls on the group from 15 to 64 years old and is approximately 21 million female and male halves.

Children under the age of 14 account for 18.7 percent, of whom there are about 6 million boys and 5.5 million girls. People over 65 in France are 16.4% of the total population, which includes 4.5 million men and 6 million women.

Territorial differences - development forecasts

According to the results of the study, France will develop in the next couple of decades in the following directions. First, the southern western regions and will remain the centers of the greatest concentration of the population. At the same time, the northern and eastern regions will be characterized by a decrease in these indicators. Secondly, the total birth rate will decrease by almost half settlements, and mortality will outnumber it. The national composition of France will continue to change, immigrants will merge with the local population, gradually reducing the number of true native French. There will be an aging of generations, which will increase the average age of the population. Most of this process will affect the Ile-de-France region.

Half a century ago, on October 17, 1961, in one of the centers of Western civilization, in France, in Paris, very significant events that claimed the lives of several hundred people. Little is said about them in France, and even more so they know nothing outside of it.

In France in 1961, the most serious national problem was the colonial war in Algeria, now in its eighth year. However, legally it was not a war in the colony, but Civil War in the French Republic itself. Located opposite France on the opposite bank mediterranean sea Algeria was captured by the French in 1830. Algeria was a migrant colony, which rushed hundreds of thousands of immigrants from the metropolis. By 1950, out of 9 million inhabitants of Algeria, 1,200 thousand were French.

In the colony they were called "pied-noir" ("black-footed"), because they wore, unlike the natives, leather shoes. The life and culture of the "Blackfoot" had many special features that greatly distinguished them from the French of the metropolis. They resembled the Americans of the US South, highly appreciating their European origin, full of condescending contempt for the Arabs. Most of the Blackfoots had by then lived in Algeria for four or five generations. An incredibly large number of cultural and political figures of France came out of the Algerian French. The most famous "black-footed" was the famous philosopher and writer Albert Camus.

The influence of the French language and culture also had an impact on the aboriginal population of Algeria. To one degree or another, most of the local Arabs spoke French. A large (more than 20% of all Arabs and Berbers) layer of "French-Muslims" has formed, that is, local Arabs who are completely Frenchized in linguistic and cultural terms, differing from the "Blackfoot" only in their Muslim religion. Beginning in the early 20th century, many Arabs began to travel to France in search of higher wages or to fulfill official duties. By 1960, 370,000 Algerian Arabs lived in France proper.

Algeria legally ceased to be a colony, becoming part of France, representing 3 departments of the republic. Most French people thought that Algeria was France. However, France has experienced a demographic decline since the end of the 19th century. The population of France has not changed for 60 years. It is clear that it was more and more difficult to keep the colonies, the indigenous inhabitants of which retained the previous birth rate. In addition, France experienced complete decadence in all spheres of life, and by the twentieth century, the French had completely lost the spirit of the crusaders and colonialists. When the Arab uprising began in Algeria in November 1954, the majority of French people were no longer ready to fight for the territorial integrity of the country.

But not without reason Antoine de Saint-Exupery, who served for many years in North Africa, said that we are responsible for those we have tamed. The French turned Algeria into a prosperous country, surpassing Spain in terms of development. The standard of living of the Arabs of French Algeria was the highest among all the then Arab countries (this was before the advent of the oil monarchies of the Persian Gulf). In terms of the level of higher and secondary education per capita, Algerian Arabs already in the 30s. ahead of such European countries as Greece and Portugal.

The Algerian Arabs, under French domination, enjoyed wide internal autonomy and retained their cultural institutions. Moreover, thanks to European advances in health care, the Muslim population entered a phase of population explosion already in the 1920s. XX century. When the French began to conquer Algeria, it had only about one million inhabitants. By 1900, the number of Algerian Arabs exceeded 3 million, and by 1950 there were already 8.5 million.

France - Arabs and Turks

As the Arabs became more and more, and among them the proportion of semi-educated, but at the same time very ambitious intelligentsia increased sharply, French power in Algeria began to weaken. "Why should the French own all these plantations, and luxurious houses, if they are built on our land?" - asked the text of one of the underground leaflets distributed among the Arabs. The fact that it was the French who built all these plantations and luxurious houses, of course, was not said in the leaflet.

The Algerian War of 1954-1962 was one of the bloodiest wars of the 20th century. Moreover, the rebel Arabs were by no means innocent sheep. Already in the first days of the uprising, the rebels shot down a bus with French schoolchildren in the city of Beaune. In early 1955, the rebels massacred almost without exception the entire French population of the mining village near Philippeville (now Skikda). The rebels put their program in relation to the European population of Algeria quite specifically in the slogan: "A coffin or a suitcase"! In other words, all Europeans were offered a choice between death or expulsion from Algeria. There was no talk of any rights of the "black-footed" people.

France - number of mosques and percentage of immigrants

Many Frenchmen, including those of the Blackfoot, supported the rebels. The French left believed that the Arabs were only fighting against social oppression. And many of them, believing that the uprising in Algeria was the beginning of a socialist revolution in France, accepted Active participation in an armed struggle against their own country. The Algerian Communist Party, consisting mainly of Frenchmen, joined the rebels. Many of the rebel battle groups were Europeans, especially in the capital of the colony.

Among the French of the metropolis, the views of the “minorists”, supporters of “little European France”, a kind of “reducer”, who declared that it was better for France to get rid of the colonies itself, so as not to feed the rapidly growing colored population, received wide support. Therefore, the "reducers" also strongly opposed the war in Algeria.

France - the structure of Muslim communities

On the battlefield, the Arabs were defeated, but nevertheless, General de Gaulle, who came to power in 1958, considered it necessary to give independence to Algeria. The general said: “The Arabs have a high birth rate. This means that if Algeria remains French, then France will become Arab.”

At the beginning of 1961, in the resort town of Evian, official negotiations began between the government of the French Republic and representatives of a certain National Liberation Front (FLN) of Algeria, which is a scattered conglomerate of various semi-political, semi-criminal Arab organizations leading an armed struggle in Algeria. The fact that Algeria would gain independence was already clear from the very fact of the start of negotiations. It was about the position of the "black-footed" and the status of the Arabs in the metropolis, who without exception had French citizenship.

The FLN delegation insisted that the Algerian French could not have any rights at all, but the Arabs in the metropolis should have a special status. In particular, while retaining French citizenship (and all the rights of a French citizen), Arabs must have a special legal status, be subject only to Muslim courts, study in their own Arabic schools, which the French Ministry of Education was supposed to maintain, live according to Sharia law and receive special compensation for their suffering under French rule.

Since even the French authorities, who were ready to make concessions, were not ready to fulfill such impudent demands, the negotiations reached an impasse. Then the Arabs organized a series of terrorist attacks against the police in Paris. Maurice Papon, chief of the Paris police, said at the funeral of one of his colleagues: "For every blow we receive, we will answer with ten."

France - migrants

By that time, 51-year-old Maurice Papon had served in the police for more than three decades, having gone from an ordinary guard to the prefect of the metropolitan police, regularly serving all the periodically changing governments of France. In the 30s, Maurice Papon dispersed the demonstrations of the French fascists. During the occupation of France by the Germans, he uncovered underground resistance groups. After the war, Papon caught and imprisoned those who collaborated with the Germans. There is no doubt that if the Communists came to power, Papon would expropriate and liquidate the French bourgeoisie as a class, and new government, like the previous ones, would appreciate him as an outstanding professional.

Papon held the post of Parisian prefect in 1958-67. These years were at the peak of the Algerian war. Even in their very first proclamations, the Arab rebels announced that they would take the war to the mother country. It wasn't bragging. For 1957-61 Papon's employees neutralized more than 60 Arab groups, totaling about a thousand people, who were trying to start terrorist activities in Paris. The Arabs planned to make explosions in the metro, airports, blow up the television center at the time of the broadcast of the speech of the President of the Republic, and even infect the city's water supply with bacteria, but their plans were thwarted.

One of the main reasons for the success of the prefect was the fact that, guided by the principle "in war as war", he was not afraid to sanction the use of torture during interrogations of terrorists and psychotropic substances, as well as taking relatives of those suspected of terrorism as hostages. Papon was not afraid to take full responsibility. Assuming office, he announced to his subordinates: “Do your duty and do not pay attention to what the newspapers write. I and only I am responsible for all your actions!

The confrontation peaked in October 1961 - on October 5, Papon announced a curfew for all "French Muslims from Algeria." In response, the FLN issued a proclamation: “Algerians must boycott the curfew. To do this, starting from Saturday, October 14, 1961, they must leave their homes en masse, with their wives and children. They should walk the main streets of Paris." The Arab leaders were well aware that the Parisian policemen, enraged by the death of their comrades, would not tolerate violations of the curfew and calmly calculated that a certain number of Arabs would certainly have died in this demonstration, so that the blood of the martyrs would sanctify all the demands of the FLN.

The demonstration was scheduled for October 17, 1961. More than 40 thousand Arabs, many with weapons in their hands, carried slogans: "France is Algeria", "Beat the Franks", "The Eiffel Tower will become a minaret", "Beautiful France, when will you die?" and “Paris whores – where is your hijab?”

The "peaceful" demonstration quickly turned into a pogrom. The Arabs at first only smashed shop windows and set fire to cars, and then wounded several policemen and passers-by. A huge crowd of Arabs moved to the island of Cité, where the famous Notre Dame Cathedral is located, as well as the Palace of Justice, wanting to set fire to these hated symbols of the French religion and legal system.

But the police were ready for action. "If the Arabs want war, let them have it," Papon said. A real battle began on the ancient Saint-Michel bridge leading to the Ile de la Cité. The demonstrators were beaten unconscious with batons and thrown from bridges into the Seine. The dead and wounded were thrown there. A mass of fleeing Arabs were trampled to death. In the courtyard of the Paris Police Headquarters, arrested Arabs were beaten to death. As a result, a 40,000-strong armed demonstration of Arabs was dispersed in two hours by 500 policemen, and the dispersed were so stunned that they threw more than 2,000 guns on the spot, not having time to properly use them.

According to official figures, 40 people died, but in reality we are talking about several hundred. The exact number has not yet been established. This is explained by the fact that the killed Arabs were not counted at all. Many drowned in the Seine and their bodies were never found. In addition, among the Arab demonstrators, many lived in France illegally, and it was not possible to identify many of the dead.

But Papon's success proved futile. In March 1962, a peace agreement was signed in Evian practically on the terms of the separatists. Algeria gained full independence. The "Blackfoots", whose rights were never agreed upon, fled Algeria in a panic, leaving their property behind. However, they still got off lightly. In July 1962, on the day Algeria declared its independence, Arab gangs broke into the predominantly European city of Oran and massacred it. Only the intervention of the French troops, whose command, spitting on menacing shouts from Paris not to violate the ceasefire, saved the lives of several thousand French survivors. After the events in Oran, there were no Europeans left in Algeria. Thus ended the era of French Algeria.

Maurice Papon served in the police until 1967, and in 1978-81 he was the budget minister in the government. In 1998, at the age of 88, he was sentenced to 10 years in prison because, during the German occupation of France, he, as police chief of Bordeaux, facilitated the arrest and deportation of 1,690 Jews. Of course, he was not reminded of the dispersal of the Arab demonstration on October 17, 1961 at the trial, otherwise the names of too many people who were then standing over him, including De Gaulle, would have surfaced. Papon was released from prison due to his advanced age in 2002, and died 5 years later.

As for France, despite the efforts of the "reducers", by getting rid of Algeria, France received millions of Algerian Arabs. It seems that the French have already become a national minority in their own country. In many quarters of French cities, Arabs and other immigrants are recreating their former society with clan wars, blood feuds, polygamy, bride kidnapping. Immigrants remember the existence of the French Republic only on the days they receive benefits.

The Muslims of France managed to impose on the French a complex of guilt for colonialism, racial discrimination and other crimes. First, Muslims achieved recognition of polygamous families (that is, polygamy). Then they won special rights for themselves as an oppressed minority. Muslims further opposed the secular nature of the French system of education. Let us recall how crowds of Muslim women marched along the Champs Elysees, demanding freedom to wear Islamic clothing that hid their faces - the hijab. Crowds of hijab-covered aunts, screaming, walked through the streets of Paris and, following the chanting of slogans, bawled the Marseillaise. And no one thought how much the Marseillaise and the hijab contradict each other.

And finally, the superbly organized riots in the Parisian suburbs in 2005 and 2007. mean that now the French Republic must gradually recognize special rights immigrant residents of the country. And new Maurice Papons are unlikely to be found in this country where tolerance and political correctness triumph. In 2001, the mayor of Paris, Bertrand Delaunay, unveiled a memorial plaque on the Pont Saint-Michel to commemorate the events of October 17, 1961.

So, after the French Algeria, France also goes into oblivion.

An article by the well-known Israeli orientalist, Dr. Guy Bechor, describes the demographic and political tragedy of France. But many of these problems are by no means unique to France. They are also true of the Western world as a whole, including the US. Who knows how many years separate America from such a tragedy?

Alexander Nepomniachtchi

================================================

Guy Bechor

How many Muslims live in France? How many supporters of the Islamic State are there? What's going on with the demographics? Paris again surrendered without a fight? And what do we have from that?

Immediately after the German officer, having met with two French representatives, made sure that Paris was an “open city” and there would be no resistance, the soldiers of Lieutenant General Bogislav von Studnitz of the 87th Infantry Division of the Third Reich entered the streets of the French capital.

Battalion after battalion they marched across the Champs Elysees, setting up posts, seizing government offices and other strategic positions. It is hard to imagine, but on June 14, 1940, Paris fell without a single shot being fired, without any resistance.

The French government first fled to Tours, then rushed to Bordeaux. The French diplomats seemed to have vanished into thin air, followed by many Parisians. The capital of France, which the Germans tried to capture for 4 years during the First World War, surrendered to the German army without a fight.

However, the French are still, and in a sense, even rightfully proud of the fact that they did not sink. Not without reason, the motto of Paris, on whose coat of arms a ship is depicted, is the phrase - “swings, but does not sink” (Fluctuat nec mergitur).

1. How many Muslims are in France? To answer this seemingly simple question in France is extremely difficult, and by no means accidental. After all, this is one of the most guarded secrets of the country. And besides, it is very painful. Which, in general, explains the desire to hide real data.

Note. editor. I wanted to find an illustration to the text - a scene where the concentration of French Muslims is at the level of 5-10%. Here best result. Three ethnic French(right) "fraternize" with 5 or 6 "atypical" Muslims. The inscriptions on their posters: "Islam against terrorism", "Terrorism is not necessarily brought by Islam."

According to the CSA, the organization that organizes polls in France based on religious affiliation, 6% are Muslims. According to IFOP, the leading polling organization, in 2011 Muslims were 7%. The CIA Statistics Yearbook mentions 7-9% in 2015. The INED Institute counted 8% in 2009. And the French government, in one of its documents, mentioned 9% in 2014. However, anecdotal evidence suggests 13-15%.

Here is a more typical

Around these figures, between French demographers of different political views, there is a fierce war, gloomy and full of mutual insults. Those on the left greatly underestimate the data, those on the right, especially far to the right, on the contrary, inflate the figures by up to 15%.

They try to present their fights as scientific disputes, but in reality, we are talking about politics. There is still no official verified data. In France, it is strictly forbidden to conduct demographic surveys, although this ban was somewhat relaxed in 2007.

The population of France is about 64.5 million people. So, you can roughly estimate the number of French Muslims.

But it is also worth considering the incredibly high growth rate characteristic of this part of society. According to various estimates, the number of Muslims has recently increased by 25-100%, many times faster than the average population growth in France.

2. And so, at the beginning of 2016, the magazine l’Obs (“The New Columnist”) published the data of a voluminous scientific study conducted by a number of well-known organizations.

By the way, the "progressive" magazine presented them as good news. The survey covered 9,000 secondary school students throughout France, and its quality was guaranteed by the "national center scientific research" country. Schoolchildren were surveyed about self-determination and received the following results:

- 38.8% did not associate themselves with any religion. It is clear that this was received with enthusiasm in a liberal magazine - here it is, secularism in its purest form.

- 33.2% identified themselves as Christians

- 25.5% identified themselves as Muslims

- 1.6% - Jews.

In other words, among middle school students, at least a quarter of French children are already Muslims. The degree of adherence to religion is also characteristic. Among those who identified themselves as Christians, only 40% reported that "religion is important or very important to them." For Muslims, this figure reached 83%. By the way, among those Christians who called themselves "Catholics" it generally amounted to only 22%. In other words, Catholicism is now a disappearing religion in France, indeed, throughout the world.

Before us is the future of France. And this is the Islamic future. It's not even about babies, which will be expressed in two decades. This data is for teenagers aged 16-18 who will become adults in the coming years. Some of them will vote in the general and presidential elections next year.

3. Birth rates say the same. For many years, France was proud of its high birth rate - more than two children per mother. But for several years now, the figures have dropped below two children. Officially, they are at the level of 1.96. And that includes immigrant and Muslim mothers. If we consider only native French women in childbirth, the indicator will be 1.7. That is, the population growth of the native French is negative (less than 2.1).

The birth rate in France is the lowest since 1976. And every year, fewer babies are born. Despite the fact that the population is growing, albeit at a moderate pace. In 2006, 829,400 babies were born in France, and in 2015, although the population has grown, fewer than 800,000 babies were born. The decline continues steadily from year to year. Like in Germany, although it is still much more serious there. By the way, in 1975, abortion was legalized in France.

french kids

Researchers are trying to understand why so many couples in the country decide to limit themselves to two children. Some believe that this is the result of an economic downturn, while others argue that the French do not see a future in their country. There are those who are convinced that the reason for the payments for children, which are declining year by year, due to the country's declining economic indicators.

To this should be added the crisis of the institution of marriage. While 278,000 couples got married in France in 2005, their number dropped to 231,000 in 2015. Average age marriage is also on the rise. He has already reached 34.9 years for a woman, 37.4 for a man.

The decrease in the number of couples getting married can be explained by the relatively new “civil union” law that came into force in 2012, which allows for a legal relationship without getting married. Indeed, 170,000 couples have gone down this path. The law makes it easy to terminate this union, even on the one hand. Therefore, it is perceived as not too stable for creating a family and having children.

The low birth rate among the native French means that in a few years there will be no one to pay for the generous French pensions.

Speaking of mortality. This number of deaths has not been recorded in France since World War II.

In 2015, 600,000 French people died. 7.3% more than in 2014. Researchers are trying to explain this with especially cold winters and hot summers, as well as influenza. From an economic point of view, no matter how cynical it may sound, high mortality reduces the pension burden on the country and its economy. But the dead were native French, those who come to replace them are Muslims.

The number of Muslims is growing, and the lower the age, the more there are.

4. French officials, like the Obama administration, vehemently refuse to acknowledge the connection between the Muslim population and Islamic terror.

From their point of view, these are completely different things. But where do European terrorists come from? They all emerge from the bottomless reservoirs of immigrant neighborhoods. Most of them are natives of France, Belgium or other European countries. This society feeds terror. And terror, in turn, shapes society.

According to a 2014 poll, about 16% of the French supported the Islamic State, almost the same number, by the way, as the current President Francois Hollande (18%). A significant part of these supporters, of course, are Muslims.

But in addition, there is also the radical left, prowling in search of simple solutions all problems. And among young people aged 18-24, this figure soars to 27%. More than a quarter of young French people support the Islamic State.

This is terrible data, because one or two such adherents are enough to arrange a massacre. Here we are talking about hundreds of thousands of passive supporters. Some of them go to Syria and Iraq to fight for the Islamic State or other jihadists. France has now become one of the main suppliers of Middle Eastern militants.

In other words, it is impossible to separate the Muslim population from its growing radicalization. The integration of Muslims is small, since the indigenous population is no longer very sympathetic to them. Therefore, the second generation of Muslims becomes, as a rule, more aggressive and more radical than their immigrant parents.

September 2016, Stalingrad Square in Paris looks like a staging post for the migration of peoples - millions of African Muslims are moving north towards Europe, hundreds of thousands have already reached it and spread across different countries. The Paris City Hall has already announced that it intends to establish two "refugee camps" for them, right in Paris, on the eve of granting them citizenship. No wonder that the pace of this process will steadily increase. But if they are “refugees”, why are there no women among them at all?

Continuation of the autumn walk through the streets of Paris. Where has the famed beauty of this city gone? Where is the radiance of his ship, the one from the emblem of the capital? The French media - "sworn friends" of Israel, hide these sad pictures from the public. After all, the Parisian ship should only ascend and never descend ...

5. As a result, whole areas have emerged where Muslim youth in their age category has become the majority or close to it.

For example, in the Parisian district of Saint-Denis, where more than half of them are among schoolchildren. Or in the city of Lille in the north of the country.

In the south of Marseille, the second largest city in France with a population of 850,000, there are 220,000 Muslims according to official figures. But apparently, there are many more of them. Probably at least 40%.

The number of mosques is rapidly increasing in the city. True, the promised construction of a huge mosque on top of a mountain overlooking the city was stopped, but not by the right, who resisted the construction, but because of conflicts between the Muslims themselves, including Sunnis, Shiites, Arabs, and Turks, from the Maghreb , and from the Levant.

"Sacrificial rams" - an inscription on the wall of the Marseille ORT school

And Marseille is now considered the most dangerous city in Europe. And this is quite expected.

6. Everything goes to the fact that until 2020, Muslims will head the mayor's offices of a large number of French and European cities in general.

Sadiq Khan - Mayor of London

This has already happened in London. Elections in the British capital have set the tone and helped Muslims realize that their time has come. A coordinated vote of Muslims, who make up 30-40% and the "enlightened" left, ensures the outcome of the vote (as was the case in London).

A start was made in Rotterdam, where a relatively moderate Muslim took charge of the municipality, and then in London, where a moderate Muslim also became mayor.

The problem, however, is that it always starts with the moderates, but as the process develops and becomes generally accepted, so do the extremists. By the way, a Muslim mayor is expected in Amsterdam, Malmo, Luton, Barcelona, ​​Birmingham, Marseille, Brussels and other cities.

Muslims are still a minority in European countries, but in big cities their electorate has already become a decisive force. In a democracy, everything is determined by demographics. And they are well aware of it.

A number of Muslim parties have already emerged in France. For example, the "Democratic Union of French Muslims" (UDMF), successfully running in the local leadership elections.

"We are inspired by the success of Sadiq Khan, who headed the mayor's office in London, he is our model",

- Proudly explains the founder of the party, Naguib Azragi. The assertions that there is no place in France for political parties religious basis, he retorts with a reminder of the German party "Christian Democrats", wondering if they, in turn, cannot be Muslim democrats?

"We will take care of those Muslims who do not have representation in other parties,"

he explains. No, he does not seek to ensure that France lives according to Sharia law, he simply seeks the lifting of the ban on the head covering (hijab) for Muslim schoolgirls in general schools and also strives for the mandatory introduction of "halal" food in all public institutions.

He is not the only one who has already realized the growing electoral power of Muslims.

In France, there is also the "Turkish Muslim Party" PEJ, the French branch of Recep Tayyip Erdogan's party. In other words, a real instrument of Turkish subversion in France.

These parties necessarily have attractive names that mention "justice", "equality", "freedom", "prosperity", etc.

The main thing is not to mention Islam. The Turkish-French Party is already preparing for next year's general elections.

7. "Political correctness" (in other words, in French pensee unique - "unanimity") continues to reign in France.

Therefore, it is still forbidden to point out that the instigators of riots and pogromists are Muslims. They are called "youth".

It is curious that in the left camp, the denial of reality that had lasted for many years was replaced by capitulation. Now they are talking about how wonderful immigrants are, what a huge contribution they make to the country's economy and how to successfully attract them in even more numbers.
Isn’t this what the provocative writer Michel Houellebecq hinted at in his recent dystopian novel Submission, about how the French elite surrender to Islam after the Muslim party comes to power in France.
Houellebecq was subjected to so many threats from Muslims and leftists that he was forced to emigrate from the country, fearing for his life. "Unanimity" is not ready to accept a different opinion, and the one who dares -
will cease to exist.

There is only room left on the ship for one idea, but it is so heavy that sooner or later it will sink the ship.

8. Detachment of the French elite from the changing demographic reality, the situation on the streets of cities and the everyday difficulties of an ordinary citizen - this is a systemic problem.

It goes back to the meritocracy (“rule of the worthy”) established in France since the end of World War II.

The country has several higher educational institutions in which the national elite is raised. Theoretically, the selection takes place through examinations available to every Frenchman. In fact, only the children of the elite are trained in such a way that they are able to get there.

These are the Science Po (Paris Institute for the Study of Politics), the Ecole Normale Superieur (Higher Normal School of Education), and, of course, the Ecole Nationale d’administration ( national school administration).

Among the political leaders and members of the French government, 70% are graduates of these educational institutions. All of them are well acquainted with each other, both right and left. However, they are not at all familiar with what the new France is like.

A revolution against this bureaucratic guild, cut off from society, is yet to come. And this can already be seen in the protests against the new labor legislation, which have been going on for more than six months on the streets of large cities.

The French system of government, with officials cut off from society and an all-powerful president, failed miserably, becoming only a reliable recipe for a heap of troubles. By the way, this is also happening in the USA, where representatives of right and left institutions support each other and in many respects represent one guild.

Therefore, Donald Trump from their point of view (including the Republicans) is a threat, because he is not one of them.

The big French cities are no longer the same world as old Europe was. And the terror of the jihadists is only a small, tactical problem of the country. Its strategic problem is the clash of civilizations: between a secular country and an Islamic state that is much more than just ISIS and will not disappear anywhere even if it is destroyed. This is Sharia, and burkini, and the issue of self-determination of citizens and self-determination of the country as a whole.

Holiness versus Holiness. Atheism vs Sharia. Conflict between shrines (ressacrae) never ends well.

New faces, new languages, new religion and a new future for the world. Just like in the last and perhaps the most famous symphony of A. Dvořák (1841-1904), Symphony No. 9, often called simply the New World Symphony.

9. The Jews of France, as usual, are the last to realize what is happening around them. global processes. Although, for the most part, they already understand that they have no future in this country, rushing towards Islam and the radicalization of all political camps, up to the coming civil war.

Jews are being killed. Republic in danger

As with Muslims, the number of Jews in France is unknown, but it has steadily declined from 600,000 in the past to less than half a million today. This is still a huge community - the third after Israel and the United States. But the Jews are leaving. Some to Israel, others to Britain or French Canada. Israel could have done more to bring them in. But even without that, aliya increased, reaching 8,000 people a year.

Since Britain has left the European Union, it is unlikely that French Jews will be able to continue to emigrate there and therefore the Israeli direction will increase even more.

Some Jewish communities are disappearing, for example, in Lyon and Marseille. There, the Or Tora synagogue was recently sold to the Muslim organization al-Badr, which will turn it into a mosque.

By the way, "al-Badr" is the famous battle that took place in 624, in which the army of Muhammad defeated their opponents - the inhabitants of Mecca. This was the first victory of Islam on the way to establishing its power. This is a symbol of the sudden defeat of the "infidels". Therefore, when Muslims fight with "infidels", they call it "Badr". Surprise attack during the War doomsday in 1973, the Egyptians also called the "Battle of Badr".

French Jews simply wanted to be part of society, while Muslims seek to dominate it. There are fewer and fewer Jews, more and more Muslims.

The Jews have a problem on the other side as well. French society is no longer too sympathetic to Muslims, but the attitude towards Jews is getting worse. For the French, both Muslims and Jews have become "too visible." And therefore, if the radical right comes to power in the country, the Jews will also have a hard time.

Jews simply have nothing else to look for in France. And the sooner they leave this country, the better they will be. I would like them to go to Israel.

10. Now the French left government's obsession with Israel is becoming much clearer.

This is just a desperate attempt to divert society's attention from its real problems.

So they arrange another conference, called "peace initiative in the Middle East."

It is not the war between Sunnis and Shiites, not the collapse of Syria, Iraq, Libya and Yemen that they care about, but our internal issues. This absurdity demonstrates how strongly they were taken. But the time for obsessive meddling in our problems has already passed. Therefore, everyone who tried to use us in order to divert attention from their problems, is now inexorably returning to them anyway.

France has lost control of her own destiny and no miraculous rescue is on the horizon. Rather the opposite. And as in 1940, she prefers to surrender without a fight.

But maybe there is room for hope and optimism? After all, the motto of Paris, whose symbol is the ship: sways, but does not sink. Doesn't sink? Already drowned...

In the months leading up to the French presidential election, campaigners are looking for a variety of ways to win over voters. One of the topics of discussion was again anti-white racism. According to the right, the problem has existed for a long time, and recently, due to the influx of refugees, it has only worsened. The leftists believe that the migration crisis has nothing to do with it at all, and cases of discrimination against whites in the country are rare. According to opinion polls, French society has split almost in half: 47 percent recognize the problem as important, 53 percent do not. Whether whites are oppressed in France and how this topic is used in the political struggle - understood.

Right start

In early 2013, one of the prominent leaders of the right, Jean-Francois Cope, published the book “Manifesto of the Right without Complexes”, collecting in it a number of examples of discrimination against white citizens by the colored population of France. In particular, Kope told the story of a single mother from the city of Meaux with a very modest income level. She promised to give her son an electronic game, she saved money for the purchase for several months. Having received the gift, the boy rushed out into the street to brag to his comrades. However, his joy was short-lived - a dark-skinned neighbor's boy took away the toy. When the woman came to his parents to demand the thing back, they pushed her out of the apartment, throwing contemptuously after: “If you don’t like something, then get out to your Gauls!”

Cope cites several more similar stories and concludes that anti-white racism is spreading throughout French cities, where locals “despise the native French, just because they have a different religion, skin color and culture.” After the release of the book in one of public speaking Kope said: “You can understand the despair of some of our compatriots, fathers and mothers of families, when they, returning from work in the evening, find out that hooligans knocked a croissant with chocolate out of their son’s hands, saying that people do not eat during Ramadan.”

In everyone's sight

There are not so many documented cases of manifestations of anti-white racism in France, and even fewer come to court. Nevertheless, each such incident is vigorously discussed. So, a lot of noise was made by the process, which ended in April last year. In one of the commuter trains, the controller tried to fine three young Arabs for traveling without a ticket. They began to quarrel, refusing to pay. To help an employee railway passenger arrived. Insults rushed towards him: “Dirty white!”, “Dirty Frenchie!”. One of the participants in the conflict, 22-year-old Hakan O., was tried under an administrative article, and racism was regarded as an aggravating circumstance. Sentence: three months in prison and fines totaling two thousand euros. The victim's lawyer considered the punishment adequate, but noted that such a verdict is a rare case.

"The problem is that in French laws, the expression of the type" black "is considered an insult, and the" dirty white "belonging to the same semantic group is not," the political scientist Stefan Francois explained. This allows the courts not to qualify racist antics against the indigenous population, so as not to introduce additional tension into society. Otherwise, any crime committed by a non-white French against a white would have to be associated with racial hatred.

Latent racism

You can encounter manifestations of everyday anti-white racism anywhere. In different cities, the inscriptions “Death to whites!”, “Die, white pig!” appear on the walls of houses. and the like. Judging by reports in the press and social networks, native French people are constantly insulted in transport, in shops, on the streets, provoked and beaten. But all this remains out of sight.

The police, already overworked, prefer not to engage in such nonsense, and the witnesses simply keep quiet - they still have to live in this area. Moving from disadvantaged neighborhoods is also a whole problem - it is almost impossible to sell housing here.

As a result, white families with children are forced to endure humiliation, insults and bullying. There is a well-known case when, in one of the lyceums in the suburbs of Paris, classmates staged a real persecution of a girl named Blanche (White) just because her name was that. The victim tried to justify herself, saying that her grandfather was also an immigrant, however, an Italian. “It would be better if my grandfather was African,” she lamented.

In general, an impressive part of the French population had a strong feeling that they had simply been deceived and left to the mercy of fate. Socialists have already been accused of "state racism" because the ruling party leaves white fellow citizens alone with a problem that the authorities cannot or do not want to solve.

The left counterattacks

Supporters of the ruling country say that it is wrong to single out anti-white racism as a separate problem, and that any discrimination based on skin color or religious grounds should be fought. The government adopted a special program and campaigned by running a series of six spots on television under common name"Let's defeat hatred together." But the authors were immediately criticized from the right flank for the lack of references in the clips to the need to combat anti-white racism and anti-Christian antics. “Whites are beaten just because they are white. Does anyone remember them?" - the lawyer Gilles-William Goldnadel was indignant in one of the interviews.

After that, a series of publications appeared in the left-wing French press, designed to convince the public that all talk about the problem of racism against whites is unfounded and is being conducted by the right to discredit opponents. In particular, bumps fell on the far-right National Front, led by. She and her associates were credited with the desire to sow inter-ethnic and inter-religious discord in France and use the fear of voters for their own political purposes. The head of the parliamentary defense committee, Patrick Kalvar, said that the far right wants to split society. "One or two more terrorist attacks, and they will get it," the MP added.

However, the publicist Ivan Riufol in his book "The Coming Civil War" claims that the cause of the brewing conflict is precisely the inaction of the authorities. In his opinion, when the Islamists are strong enough, they will be able to raise immigrant ghettos to open rebellion against the state. This, in the author's opinion, will be due to "the so-called French humanists who ignore the anti-Semitism of the suburbs and the hatred of whites spreading there."

Political alignment

One way or another, the topic of confrontation between whites and coloreds in France will definitely sound in the presidential election campaign. National Front candidate Marine Le Pen, with her characteristic frankness, has repeatedly stated the need for a special law to protect the interests of the indigenous population.

The candidate from is not so categorical. However, he does not intend to ignore the problem. Fillon positions himself as the guardian of the country's traditional values ​​and will lead the presidential campaign under the slogans of fighting for a return to white, Catholic, "good old France." In his campaign pamphlet, he has already warned of the danger posed by "Arab-Islamic hooligans."

Finally, the socialists, who have not yet decided on their candidate, will try to take credit for the very anti-racist campaign that has already provoked criticism from opponents. And considering that she did not have much success, like most of socialist initiatives for last years, they are unlikely to count on additional votes.
