The following video shows a talk given at the Fondation Varenne in France by

Boualem Sansal, an Algerian engineer and writer. Mr. Sansal — whose writings about Islam have caused controversy in Algeria, making him a “leper”, as he puts it — expresses his dismay at the way France is rapidly giving up its secular society and embracing Islamization.

Transcript:

00:16 Good evening, everybody.

00:20 Daniel Pouzadoux, who likes

00:24 to take risks, invited me

00:28 to this ceremony, and he pushed his

00:32 immoderate love of risk up further to ask me to write a paper,

00:36 and without giving me any directions concerning the content of said paper.

00:40 And I just did, trying not to bore you too much,

00:44 and I tend lately to repeat myself,

00:48 and not in the best way, I mean not politically correctly.

00:52 And I don’t know if you can hear it, but I’m telling you,

00:56 it’s not easy to talk in front of you: in the room I can see

01:00 all the big… a lot of bigwigs of the French media

01:04 and illustrious personalities.

01:08 It’s impressive and flattering for me. In my country,

01:12 Algeria, I am being treated like a leper.

01:16 They unleash the dogs, they throw rocks. Right now,

01:20 by the way, as a result of a supposed “amalgam” [between Islamism and “real” Islam],

01:24 blasphemy, or simply a wrong thought on my part,

01:28 they are deliberating about me; and the smoke isn’t white;

01:33 It isn’t predicting anything good. But let’s move on!

01:37 Nothing is sure before it happens.

01:41 I would like, with Daniel’s permission, and also yours,

01:45 to tell you two-three things about Islamism.

01:49 There are other topics,

01:53 but this one outweighs them. It keeps the world in suspense,

01:57 and France in first place; she’s

02:01 the essential element in its [Islamism’s] program of planetary domination.

02:05 It’s here that it’ll win or lose in the West.

02:09 It knows it. This is why it is showing forth with

02:13 all the rage, behind which, however,

02:17 there’s an astounding world of cold intelligence and patience.

02:21 Nobody can understand better than an Algerian

02:25 what you are living through and what you are feeling.

02:29 Algeria knows Islamism. She suffered twenty years

02:33 of it. I don’t want to make believe that

02:37 Islamism is finished over there — only because the terrorism

02:41 Receded — it’s exactly the opposite: Islamism won.

02:45 Except for some dissonant voices, crying out

02:49 in the desert, nothing opposes it.

02:53 It has everything under control in order to fulfill its goal.

02:57 All its theoretical programme is an important element,

03:01 but not the most important. There are ten others

03:05 whose targets are more important:

03:09 breaking all resistance, switching the lights off, with capital “L”,

03:13 and installing mechanisms

03:17 for a deep Islamization of society.

03:21 You can say that Islamism truly begins its job

03:25 after the steamroller of terror has passed.

03:29 At that stage the population is ready to accept everything:

03:34 with fervor, humility and a real

03:38 gratitude. That’s where we are in Algeria.

03:42 The program is running well. The Islamists

03:46 are working as if in a factory: they control everything, they monitor everything.

03:50 the point of no return has been passed and the final point is arriving

03:54 like a punch. A couple more regulations and we’ll have

03:58 a perfect Islamic Republic.

04:02 Perfectly eligible for the World Caliphate. You’ll hear about them, I think.

04:06 An example to demonstrate it:

04:10 In a small town, where I live, 50km from Algiers, which is a college town,

04:14 whose population, about 25,000,

04:18 is primarily composed of teachers, scientists and students.

04:22 In that town there was, before the arrival of Islamists,

04:26 in the eighties, one small shaky mosque,

04:30 from colonial times, frequented only

04:34 by some old farmers from the area. Today

04:38 after twenty years of terrorism and destruction,

04:42 and all while the country lacks everything, there are fifteen!

04:46 All large and well equipped,

04:50 with running water, powerful loudspeakers, air conditioning,

04:54 and internet on all the floors. And I wanted to tell you that

04:58 for the Friday prayer they aren’t enough to house all the faithful.

05:02 Clearly, fifteen new ones will have to be built

05:06 or they’ll have to requisition amphitheaters and labs.

05:10 Careful, I don’t venture into amalgam or persiflage.

05:14 I don’t say that the faithful are Islamists.

05:18 None of that, I guarantee you. Don’t worry.

05:23 I’m only saying that the Islamists have worked well, in very little time

05:27 they sanitized the climate, and turned us into

05:31 good and faithful Muslims, punctual and zealous,

05:35 and never, absolutely never, I insist,

05:39 have they asked us to become Islamists like them.

05:43 No compulsion in religion, it’s in the Quran, verse 1:256

05:47 In Algeria people are following with a lot of anxiety

05:51 the evolution of the events in France.

05:55 I don’t mean Islamists: they’re congratulating themselves for their achievements in your country.

05:59 or about our entire government, mobilized

06:03 at the bedside of our old president Mr [Abdelaziz] Bouteflika.

06:07 I’m talking about those who feel sympathy for you and those

06:11 who have family in France, and who would like to see them continue living

06:15 in France in the best possible way. I’m telling you

06:19 those people are worried. Very, very worried.

06:23 And even desperate. They are even upset with you

06:27 for that. Worried, because they find out, day after day,

06:31 month after month, year after year,

06:35 that France still cannot brace herself face to Islamism.

06:39 Is it bacon, is it lamb, is it a religion

06:43 is it heresy? … She doesn’t know.

06:47 It’s a worry. Meanwhile,

06:51 the boa constrictor Islamist had plenty of time to coil well around her,

06:55 and it’ll very soon strangle her for good.

06:59 She’s so carefree, our little darling.

07:03 She became friends with grand sheikhs of Golf who — everybody knows —

07:07 are the creators and the tamers of the boa,

07:12 and above all ancient dreadful caravan plunderers.

07:16 Worried by seeing France of freedom

07:20 turn into McCarthyism. What is going on?

07:24 Damn it! It isn’t possible for anybody any longer to talk about

07:28 certain subjects connected to the thing without immediately being

07:32 dragged into court and severely sentenced.

07:36 For now, there still are fines and deferments,

07:40 and a brand on the shoulder, but the day is coming when

07:44 the real Shariah will be applied. They are worried and

07:48 disgusted to see this great secular nation

07:52 and avant-gardiste showing everywhere

07:56 her imams, her muftis, her pashas

08:00 from CFCM [French Council of the Muslim Faith] and UOIF [Union of Islamic Organizations of France]

08:04 and for the modern accent: three sisters in balaclavas in the background.

08:08 As in days of yore, during colonial times, two fathers

08:12 would walk from one ceremony to another in those colorful caids [Muslim caciques],

08:17 covered in medals, those marabouts [Muslim African religious leader] in boubous [robes]

08:20 and other medicine men in feathers, and firmly push away those

08:24 who could talk to people without reciting a single verse,

08:28 or hoisting a menacing index finger towards the sky.

08:32 One would think that France wasn’t decolonized at the same time her colonies were.

08:36 or that secularism was abrogated over there

08:40 by a Great Imam’s edict.

08:44 Worried and angry to see that Algerians of France

08:48 as informed as they are of the true nature of Islamism,

08:52 and they know that it is after their children

08:56 they don’t engage more in the fight against it.

09:00 Nothing beyond protests about the principles: “this is not Islam”,

09:04 “Islam is peace, warmth and tolerance”,

09:08 “Islam is an opportunity for France”. Misery. How to say it?

09:13 The emergency isn’t saving Islam from amalgam [confusing it with “Islamism”] , but

09:17 saving children from death. They are anxious and

09:21 confused, seeing Europe deleting itself and becoming

09:25 an amplifier of crisis, and a manufacturer of truly monstrous European Islamism,

09:33 Which by its totalitarian claims and its hatred directed everywhere,

09:37 becomes similar to Nazism, fascism from the past,

09:41 to whose resurrection it contributes in this way.

09:45 Finally, they are in despair, to see France

09:49 And Europe a thousand miles away

09:53 from being able to conceive and undertake together the only fight

09:57 that could overcome Islamism: the counter-jihad.

10:01 A conception based on the principles of jihad itself;

10:05 and jihad isn’t war: it’s a thousand

10:09 disarrays in thousand different realms, propelled without

10:13 restrictions or brake, in an accelerated Brownian motion,

10:17 and irreversible. After all that, is there still hope?

10:21 Yes, there is. It is powerful.

10:25 France is a large country, with a huge

10:29 history, full of energy and zest. She continues to live and

10:33 project herself into the future; but everybody can tell that this effort costs more and more,

10:37 that the Islamist poison is circulating in her veins,

10:41 that the extend of the decay is destroying her,

10:45 that the country is losing its coherence and its unity,

10:49 that the government is clueless, that Europe is

10:53 a drag. Bottom line: everyone understands that the end is near.

10:58 The hope is precisely there, in this terrible sensation

11:02 that history is over; that’s where the despair

11:06 finds its best energy. There is

11:10 a condition, a true challenge of our days:

11:14 France has to find free speech again

11:18 and turn it into a weapon. If terrorism

11:22 must be fought with patience and in concealment

11:26 by intelligence and infiltration, Islamism

11:30 must be fought with words, spoken in the open,

11:34 high and loud; this fight has always belonged to journalists

11:38 and writers. They have to take up the torch: it’s theirs.

11:42 We shouldn’t forget to fight this fight

11:46 first against the army of useful idiots

11:50 and do-gooders. Who, with the complicity

11:54 of big business, managed to paralyze France,

11:58 people and institutions, and handed it over

12:02 to Islamists, and tomorrow to a civil war.

12:06 Thou shalt not make amalgam. Assassin is thy brother

12:10 of thy brother and thy brother. The do-gooders

12:14 thou shalt address. Thou art racist and Islamophobe

12:18 if thou dost not turn thine other cheek. Thy “mea culpa” thou shalt pound,

12:22 because thou wert a colonizer and slaver.

12:27 Thou shalt nourish thyself with guilt and penitence.

12:31 Thou shalt cede thy home. Thou shalt be a dhimmi.

12:35 Thou shalt practice peace, tolerance and submission

12:39 towards thine assailants. Those formulas arrived in school

12:43 with other “sweets” of the same type, which facilitate the abandonment

12:47 of tomorrow. “Moronic a*****e is dangerous” was said of them by Yves Montand, who himself

12:51 was one of the most famous useful idiots. That was yesterday; today I think he would rather say:

12:59 “Moronic a*****e, dangerous and happy to be one”. You noticed that

13:03 at no instance I did I talk about Islam.

13:07 Over there things have outpaced us. It’s the realm of untouchable.

13:11 Islam: it’s Allah. It’s Mohammed. It’s the Quran. The caliphate.

13:15 The Ummah. It’s the universal end of all the heresies and

13:19 of unbelief. Islam is the untransgressible horizon

13:23 of our time. This our dear Jean-Paul Sartre would surely tell us

13:27 if he were to come back among the living. Next

13:31 to that [Islam] Islamism is nothing: with its poor Shariah

13:35 and its chipped swords, we could annihilate it tonight

13:39 if we were allowed to. It’s solely expression of the ravings

13:43 and of caprices of Bedouins of the Arabic desert

13:47 made half-wits by centuries of ignorance and savage inbreeding,

13:51 suddenly enriched and ennobled by English idiots

13:55 and welcomed with open arms in great European capitals.

13:59 We are experiencing the escapades of those monstrously spoiled children,

14:03 crazy and insatiable hedonists;

14:07 today they’re pillaging countries, as they did yesterday,

14:11 when they learned to take a plane and use an elevator —

14:15 they pillaged palaces, palaces of the free world, before

14:20 buying them to transform them to their taste. This is what the useful idiots

14:24 and the do-gooders like in reality: the money of the sheikhs.

14:28 Gas and fuel oil smell wonderful!

14:32 With them Billancourt [one of the wealthiest cities in France] will never despair,

14:36 and by the way, because of them Billancourt doesn’t exist any longer.

14:40 It vanished at the same time that a certain France did.

14:44 In Colombey-les-Deux-Mosquées [ref to Colombey-les-Deux-Eglises where De Gaulle lived]

14:48 there’s someone [Gen. de Gaulle] who must be ranting like hell! To finish,

14:52 I would like to share my feeling about the recent propositions of the Institut de Montaigne

14:56 — no representatives of Institut de Montaigne here, I hope?

15:00 to reform Islam and facilitate the appearance of a French Islam.

15:04 I verified, they’re really talking about Islam.

15:08 About French Islam, which already is a huge blasphemy.

15:12 Islam is One. It is at home EVERYWHERE.

15:16 It was through [unintelligible] the Sunday Journal from September 18th

15:20 that I found out about it here, from my friend Daniel.

15:24 There are ten of those propositions that follow one another like pearls

15:28 in a necklace, and they can be summarized this way:

15:32 1: We install a fee for halal.

15:36 2: We build mosques. 3: We train chaplains and

15:40 imams. 4 or 5: we teach Arabic to students

15:44 and French to imams. 6: We purge history.

15:48 7: We create a Secretary of State for Secularism

15:52 and Religions. We practice morals.

15:56 We use diplomacy to staunch the influence of Wahhabi regimes

16:00 from Arabia and Qatar. When I read it I almost fell over.

16:04 I understood that the plan was one of the severest programs of Arabization

16:09 and of Islamization. And it would allow

16:13 no possibility of going back in case of regrets.

16:17 It looked exactly the same as

16:21 the project of Arabization and Islamization which the Algerian Government

16:25 enforced in Algeria in the early eighties,

16:29 under pressure from Saudi Arabia and Qatar.

16:33 And which was supposed to turn us into

16:37 Salafized Wahhabi parrots in no time.

16:41 We had to think, and understand

16:45 the intention of the Institut [de Montaigne]. Even

16:49 in the long term and in an appeased environment, those suggestions

16:53 would have — in my opinion — neither impact nor effect

16:57 concerning their objective: to reform Islam and make a French Islam emerge,

17:01 accepted by all. First of all the French people,

17:05 religious and secular of all types, and then all the Arabic and Muslim countries

17:09 headed by Saudi Arabia, the jealous guardian of

17:13 the Dogma. On the contrary:

17:17 let’s play in the direction of reality, and here it is:

17:21 France is already very well on the way

17:25 to her Islamization by an imported Islam:

17:29 an archaic, brutal, sectarian and heinous

17:33 swindler and infernal opportunist, strongly

17:37 tainted with Salafism but not only; adept at

17:41 Globalized jihad; and those unexpected generous propositions

17:45 will formidably help its expansion and its

17:49 taking root. The multiplier effect and accelerator

17:54 wasn’t taken into account

17:58 in the study, but it will have full effect!

18:02 What the study shows, however, since it teaches us that 29% of Muslims in France are already cut

18:07 from their national community. It would seem that

18:14 the Institut hasn’t worked on the reality, but on an image

18:18 of the reality. The fact of formulating such a proposition

18:22 in their context of rupture, and after the year 2015

18:26 rich in bloody Islamist attacks,

18:30 reveals that the goal set by the

18:34 the state planners has been reached: France is ready

18:38 to give up everything. The ten propositions of the Institut

18:42 appear like an act of allegiance to the Caliphate.

18:46 I don’t want to despair of the Institut de Montaigne,

18:50 but we need to tell them: the caliph

18:54 gets his power from Allah; he doesn’t expect anything from anybody.

18:58 Even less from the Institut. He crushes everything in his way:

19:02 the useful idiots, the faithful,
