French Outcry Over English Lessons

A report calling for all French schoolchildren to learn English is coming under severe criticism from John Kerry’s future allies—some of whom believe that French children would be better off learning Arabic: Outcry over English lessons. (Hat tip: Gregory.)

France’s report said standards of English in schools were poor and worsening.

Its conclusions have been challenged by some politicians, including one deputy from the ruling UMP party, Jacques Myard.

He told Le Monde: “English is the most-spoken language today, but that won’t last.”

He said Spanish, Chinese and Arabic were all growing in importance.

“If we must make a language compulsory, it should be Arabic,” he said.

I have heard that John Kerry will not sign form 180 because he received a less than Honorable Discharge, which Clinton upgraded in 1993.

The [French] love arabs, islam and anything that opposes England, America and any English speaking country. They especially despise the fact that America gave them their country back won with American and British blood.

The French are busy as bees building their New Grand Republic. It doesn't include English-speaking people. It's a fact. 'Nuf said.

The French are doomed and France is the next country to be ruled by Islam.

Hello,

Life and times in an Islamic Nation. Coming to your country soon.

Will we have to bail them ( French ) out again?

Koorosh Afshar


The mullahs of the Islamic Republic have, at several times, shown their thirst for carnage in the past 25 years of ruling over Iran . They have a long history of plotting suicide attacks and waging wars internationally and silencing any opposing voice domestically. Having brutalized the Iranian nation all throughout these years, having kept most of the people under the poverty line, one shouldn't be astonished on how these "men of Allah" have had absolutely no problem finding recruits and sending poor souls after the so-called promised paradise through shedding the blood of other humans. If you are an Iranian, it wouldn't be very strange for you to have at least one dear and near lost at the bloody hands of these shopkeepers of religion. The infamousness of the Shiite clerics of Iran is not a new story to be told over again, as they are already known to the world as the "bad guys".

The reason for writing this article is, however, not retelling the same old story, but an untold one, I am sure you haven't heard yet.

Almost a month ago the Supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's appointed judge in the province of "Mazandaran", in the South of the Caspian sea , sentenced


"Atefeh Rajabi" a 16-year-old girl to death for committing adultery. The poor girl, deprived of even the very basic motherly love, was hanged in the public before the dismayed eyes of a people who have long forgotten that they were no more living than "Atefeh" was now. Just before she was hanged, "Atefeh" had willed everything she possessed to the poor girls like herself. A short time later, it was revealed that the Islamic judge and a few of his men had raped this little girl before hanging her.

The tragedy of "Atefeh" was still inflicting its heavy and painful burden on the Iranians' conscience that a report came out proclaiming that another girl, 13-year-old "Zheela", was sentenced to "stoning to death" by another Islamic judge in the city of "Marivan", Western Iran. This poor child is sentenced to death because she has been impregnated by her 15-year-old brother.


I am deeply astounded by the level of some of your politicians' credulity speaking of peace and a "better tomorrow" while they see that Islamic fundamentalism is literally marring the fresh minds of future parents of our world. Can't they see what is happening to "Zheela"? Couldn't they see what happened in "Beslan"? Can't they see us? Having been brought up in an "Islamiorated" society where seeing coffins and wild mobs in our streets was an everyday experience I don't really know how many years should pass before we will be able to gain our mental health back.

If the world cannot save little "Zheela" from these brutal Islamic militants, then how could your politicians speak of disarming them from their nuclear weapons?

Saving her is undoubtedly the right thing to do.

Let us not forget that "It may not always be easy, convenient, or politically correct to stand for truth and right, but it is the right thing to do - Always."

What about America??

Are we discussing the country known as North Morocco, formerly known as France?

The French population is currently 60 million, with 8 million Arabs. The white birthrate is minus ZPG--1.3 per couple. At that rate and the rate in which Arabs immigrate to France the population will be half Arab by 2050. That is probably the same fate for the rest of Europe minus Italy. Can you say DHIMMI?

Let the French complain about the English language all they want.
If it weren't for English speaking people, they'd all be speaking German.
