Eric Zemmour ... a French of Arab origin, prefers Nazism over Islam

Late last year, specifically on November 10, thousands of Muslims, French and other nationalities, along with hundreds of non-Muslims, led by left-wing militants, went out to demonstrate against what is known as "Islamophobia". The demonstrators chanted "God is Great" (1) Amid the capital of the lights in Paris, in protest against the hate speech that spread in the French media, with the support of the state as president and government, against Muslims in the country, and a reminder that "magnification" is the slogan of all Muslims, and the rift is not considered limited On suicide bombers.

This demonstration came after the Muslims had a difficult month during last October, a month that started burning after a person called "Michael Harpoon" carried out an armed attack on the fourth Parisian provincial police mandate, where the attack left 4 dead and two policemen wounded, in addition to the killing of Operation executor. First, the "jihadi organizations" were quickly fingered, before evidence showed their innocence of the attack.

However, this result would not have restrained French President Emmanuel Macron from leaving immediately after the incident to make a statement in which he confirmed his government's intensive efforts to unify its efforts to combat what he described as "black Islamic extremism", calling on the French to play their role as citizens and to fight terrorism alongside the state (2) . In the same context, Christopher Castanier, the French Minister of the Interior, revealed during a session attended by deputies of the Law Committee of the French National Assembly what he called "signs of extremism", which, according to his definition: persistence in the five daily prayers, the presence of the impact of prostration on the forehead, the launch of the beard, and intense religious practice during Religious seasons, such as Ramadan, are statements accompanied by some of the comedies and a lot of discontent (3).

Events accelerated after that, and the process of "hunting Muslims" began to take more severe proportions, starting with the accident of the expulsion of a veiled woman (4) from a regional council (*) during her escort to her son during his school trip, through the leaking of pictures of a form distributed by some French universities to professors to report on Students who abide religiously abruptly (5), until a French man in the 1980s opened fire on worshipers at a mosque in the city of Bayonne, in the southwest of the country, an attack that left two mosque-goers at the age of seventy.

This attack, and the attacks that preceded it, were only in response, in one way or another, to a widespread and intensified discourse in the French media against Islam and Muslims, which, in a seemingly systematic way, tended to portray the situation as a "dark Islamic occupation of the land of lights and freedoms", and in the middle of this propaganda The rising right-wing, the name of the journalist Eric Zemmour, who is of Algerian origin, is a Jew of religion, a French national, and the inspiration for the thug of New Zealand massacre and the perpetrator of the armed attack on the last Bayon mosque alike.

Who is the French journalist and writer Eric Zemmour? One of the most prominent right-wing extremists present in France and Europe alike, and the first enemy of Arabs and Muslims, who in his speech and behavior outperformed the hostility and hatred of many racist right-wing families in French social / political reality, including the Marine Le Pen family, who became the major theoretician of its electoral program In the last presidential race, a program that focuses on opposing everything that is non-French, non-Catholic, and non-white.

The blessing of the French occupation of Algeria

"I am a Jewish Amazigh from Algeria. My ancestors paid a high price for their blood so that they would not surrender and kneel to the Arabs. The rest retracted their religion and left after them descendants who converted to Islam like your ancestors."

This sentence was part of the debate that compiled Eric Zemmour with Yassine Belatar (6), a French comedian of Moroccan origin on the topic of "the Islamic occupation of France". Zemour identifies himself as French, nothing more, nothing less. His religion - according to his description - did not prevent him from the love of the French Republic, its ancient history and its struggle for the liberation of man and his transfer from backwardness and backwardness to sophistication and urbanization, and thus says: "I am a Jew of religion and a Catholic of culture." The Zemmour family migrated from their native Algeria to France in the late nineteenth century, and after they were granted French citizenship, the Zemmour family quickly merged and accepted the partial abandonment of their religious authority in exchange for full compliance with the secular laws of the French Republic.

For him, the French occupation of Algeria was a blessing from the heavens above the Algerians before anything, after France recruited all its cultural, enlightening, civilizational and military arsenals to rid them of a life of poverty, backwardness and disease, before it decided to withdraw in 1962 because of the Algerian people’s resistance to preserve their religious and cultural pillars. Chief among them Islam and the Arabic language. But the greatest benefit of France entering Algeria was on the "Al Zemmour", who left the Arab countries in 1870, and, as Eric says: "This emigration constituted a golden opportunity for this Jewish family to belong to a civilization rooted in Iraq as the French civilization with its great history and rich culture."

According to this celebration of the French occupation of Algeria, and in line with the approach that he has chosen, Zemour rejects all charges against France, such as the commission of human crimes against the Algerian people, especially during the period in the so-called French culture "the Algerian war", but rather that " France made a pure humanitarian decision after its refusal to exterminate the Algerian people from their father’s ball, as did the explorers of America, who exterminated a people and an entire civilization so that they could establish their civilization.

“We did not do anything bad in Algeria.” (7) Thus, Zemmour repeats in the cultural symposia he attends, but he does not mention the details of this “French mercy”, such as killing a million and a half million Algerians during the liberation war between 1954 and 1962 that France calls. Algeria war. " For it is not considered, for example, that French security opened live bullets on October 17, 1957 to thousands of Algerians protesting in Paris, dumping the bodies of 1,500 of them in the Seine River, and hiding 800 others who were not known to this day, as well as the nuclear experiments known to the Algerian desert. Between 1960 and 1966, in which 42,000 Algerians were killed, along with thousands of people with permanent scars, all these practices were described by Zemmour as "not bad", based on the legal legitimacy argument that was formed by the parliament’s vote to intervene in the French army.

Boarding

Zemmour was born in France in 1958 in Montreux, the suburb of the French capital, Paris, before moving with his family to live in Drancy, on the outskirts of Paris, and since his childhood showed great interest in culture, history, writing, and authorship, he graduated from the Institute of Political Science in Paris in 1979. As a coincidence, the writer and journalist entered The French in the field of media, after failing twice to enter the French National School of Management and Administration, he went to search for an opportunity for training in the field of communication, before going to the newspaper "Paris Daily", where he wrote the first critical article about music, and that was in 1986. After about ten years Work with "Paris Diary", he managed French journalist from finding a foothold within the editor of the newspaper "Le Figaro" body well-known, and which he joined in 1996 and left in 1999 (8).

But the qualitative change in Eric's life was that he entered the world of television in 2003 through the "Ça se dispute" program, and then moved to "On est pas couché", one of the most famous political and cultural programs in France, presented by the media The famous French "Laurent Roque" on the French Channel Two, but his successful experience stopped suddenly in 2011 due to the change of the staff, which was explained by Zemour by the fear of leftists and artists to confront him, and explained by Laurent Roque, his desire to give a new breath of the program after the seasons of five of the "Zemour" , The latter, with his program colleague Eric Nolo, will move to Paris I "To present a program with their names.

During his years in the media field, Eric Zemmour's speech developed, but his essence did not change much. During his glory years on "On est pas couché", the French journalist was required to diversify his speech due to the different types of guests from artists, thinkers and philosophers. And politicians from the far right to the far left, but with the launch of his own program with the political soul, and its solutions almost constant guest on news channels, Zemour focused his speech on Islam and Muslims, the crisis of immigrants, and the French identity, before the speech took a clear provocative trend against everything that is not French, according to the definitions of the extreme right.

Because the Nazis are not that bad

During the "Right Conference" held last September 28, in the presence of Marion Marichal Le Pen, the granddaughter of Jean-Marie Le Pen, the leader of the French far-right, and the niece of Marine Le Pen, the leader of the far-right French National Rally, Eric Zemmour gave a speech in front of the audience warning against the overthrow Islam to France through immigrants, jihadists and drug traffickers active on the outskirts of major cities. Zemmour said during his speech that "Islam has never been, and will not be, able to coexist with the French Republic simply because it is a totalitarian system in which the spiritual and ideological aspect does not differentiate from the political and economic side, and therefore, throughout history Islam has not been able to live under the shadow of any political system Another, but rather, was standing as a defiant force in every ideological and political clash with countries or civilizations that are hostile to it. "

But the most prominent thing in Zemmour’s speech regarding Islam and Muslims was that the Islamic religion was considered “more a curse on humanity than Nazism is one of the ugliest political systems that modern history has known.” He said, looking at the public’s eyes: “Many times get angry at me because I compare Islam By the Nazis, they consider this unreasonable, and I agree with them on this matter sometimes, yes, it is unreasonable to compare the Nazis - despite their horrific crimes - with Islam, that bloody religion, this is a great injustice to the Nazis and the Nazis without doubt "(9). This statement did not go unnoticed, and besides the lawsuits filed by a number of actors against racism and hate speech, Eric Nolo, the companion of the Zemmourp media trail, announced that he had stopped presenting their joint program because of his lack of acceptance, and his disagreement, of statements in which he compared Islam to Nazism, And Muslims are Nazis.

In a episode of direct confrontation with Zemour, Nolo considered that his colleague, for two decades of joint work, degraded himself to satisfy the extreme right and its symbols, and Nolo continued: “Zemmour himself is not convinced of the correctness of the proposition in which he puts all ordinary Muslims and Islamists in one vein, fueling the hatred of commoners. The French towards people who do not fully agree with the actions of jihadists and terrorists "(10).

But Zemmour was not convinced by what its critics say, as he affirmed in the program itself that this conference was not a gathering of the extreme right led by Marion Marichal Lubin, but rather was a discussion among a group of people with the same intellectual premises that could not be discussed in the media, adding that he was not the first to It associates Islam with Nazism, but was preceded by writers Andre Suarez and Paul Kudel.

Zemmour considers that "Islamophobia" is nothing but an intellectual invention aimed at preventing people from criticizing Islam directly, despite the freedom to criticize Islam and other religions guaranteed in the French constitution, citing a previous statement by Francois Hollande, the former French leftist president, who said: "In trains and the street." We see beards, shirts, veiled women, and people carrying the Qur’an. I understand very well the state of fear that may afflict some of this phenomenon that we must confront. ”

In all his speeches, pronouncements, and programs, Zemour warns of all Islamic currents active in the public domain and in the political sphere, especially the Muslim Brotherhood, which the French writer considers one of the most dangerous groups able to penetrate European societies through the portal of individual freedoms, as Zemour claims that the group stands behind the spread of uniforms Islam for men and women and the publication of religious symbols within Muslim communities in European cities, which he sees as a real threat to the cultural and religious identity of secular France and must be confronted, even with violence.

The Big Swap: The Far Right Commodity

On the fifteenth of March 2019, the world awoke to a horrific massacre in New Zealand, which killed 49 Muslims who were performing Friday prayers in two mosques in Christchurch, it was remarkable to consider this terrorist attack that the aggressor left a long message explaining all the reasons that prompted him to do this crime And, one of the most important reasons he mentioned was his conviction of the theory of great substitution that was launched in a number of Western countries after the increasing number of Muslim immigrants.

Although the French writer, Roneau Camus, is considered the founder of this theory, which simply says that the massive immigration of Muslims to the western lands and their demographic growth within them will eventually lead to the replacement of Arab and Muslim peoples who spread and occupy these countries by virtue of numerical superiority with white peoples, the merit of this theory Racism, its popularity and the rise of its fanatics are mainly due to Eric, who is considered one of the most important and prominent amongst those who promoted the major substitution in his books, speeches, and TV interventions (11).

Eric refuses to apologize to Muslims for his promotion of a theory that incites hatred, and has caused the massacre of New Zealand, and may cause it to be repeated elsewhere in the world, as happened in France in October 2019, and this justification is justified by the fact that Muslims do not apologize to the world if someone implements A terrorist incident because he was inspired by the idea from the Qur’an, claiming that “the wall that incites the killing of Jews and Christians is too much to be counted”, so he is not responsible for someone's interpretation of his words inadvertently. Speaking about the New Zealand massacre in a television interview, Zemmour said with a kind of adoption of this massacre: "The perpetrator of the attack visited France, and he saw the spread of Arabs and Muslims there, and how they actually became a majority in a number of geographical regions, he did not need to be influenced by anyone's ideas, because he He saw everything with his own eyes. ”(12)

The solution for Eric Zemmour is to change France, and later Europe, to its immigration policies, and to impose stricter laws so that it can integrate and dissolve those coming to French society.

The great replacement, according to Zemmour, is not just a theory on paper, but "a movement that has already begun with the increasing number of immigrants coming from African countries and raising the banner of Islam, and carrying with them their culture, heritage and lifestyle that definitely contradicts the lifestyle of the European white man, so it can be said that the real enemy For the western man is the African-American man, because he will inevitably replace him and spread his religion, belief and lifestyle, as Shaykh al-Qaradawi considered, "as he claimed.

Zamour asks: "Will French youth accept to live as a minority within his country? I sincerely hope that this will not happen, because the white man who used to reach out and tour the continents and spread his civilization will be the victim of the other coming from the south. I will leave you with the freedom to imagine life here after that. This replacement It will be a pure demographic occupation, because France lived before that military occupation by Poland and Germany, but it never lived to replace another people unrelated to the history, history, and culture of France with its people. "

The French writer believes that the solution to confront this danger is to change France, and behind it Europe, to its immigration policies, and to impose stricter laws so that it can integrate and dissolve those from the south within French society, while completely abandoning every cultural landmark that opposes what He should be the "ideal French citizen", as Zemour presents himself and his family as a vivid example when they chose to melt into the French mold, and his family chose for their children French names, and they lived from the country of Napoleon, de Gaulle and Levy.

Zemmour also calls on the French authorities to stop the "legal" immigration that takes place through study or family gathering, and to stop the implementation of the law granting citizenship to everyone who lives in France until the age of 18 if he comes from a family with other nationalities, African or Asian, in addition to imposing French names on Newborns, as he had previously - in this context - criticized both the former Minister of Justice for choosing an Arab name for her daughter and former French President Nicolas Sarkozy to name his daughter an Italian name, and attacked during a TV program, French media Hafsatou C because of her name, which is not appropriate for French citizenship, a proposal It has to change it as "K. Rennes "French! (13)

But if all these administrative steps fail to stop the large replacement machine, which is rotating very quickly, then the solution for Eric Zemour will be armed militant this time, just as Israel has acted in the Gaza Strip towards the Palestinians, because, according to Zemour’s view, if the number of Muslims increases Over the years, France will be able to apply its secular secularism only through a violent dictatorship, and for this, according to Zamour sources, the top leaders of the French army have previously prepared for an armed intervention to empty the neighborhoods that were controlled by Muslim Arabs, especially in the suburbs of cities, and this process will bear the name "Operation Blackberry" Westco With the participation of the Israeli army (14). In the event that the process falters, France will be forced to enter a civil war close to the Kosovo scenario, when the Serbs "had" to carry out a genocide of Muslims in Srebrenica in 1995 to restore the demographic balance and expel the exotic Islamic culture, he said.

However, despite the conviction of 48% of the French (15) of the idea of ​​great substitution because of its wide spread on television and social media, it remains only a valid idea for "propaganda", nothing more, no less, says French researcher and historian Herve Lapras. Where Lapras refuses to describe "the great replacement" of the theory, because the most important pillar of the theory does not exist, which is applicability, describing the book "Camus" as the book that lacks the simplest elements of the scientific discourse, as it builds its ideas on more ideology than it builds on science and numbers (16) .

The French scholar and historian considers that the French fear of replacing them with another people appeared after the defeat of France in the war against Prussia (formerly Germany) in 1870, as the French were then terrified that the Germans would sweep their lands and impose their language, culture and way of life by force. Lapras acknowledges the success of the extreme right in transferring his theory from the books of its educated symbols to the French street, supported by the conspiracy theory on France, which may explain the residents of the "Ba du Doe" province in the north of the country to Marin Lubin, representing the extreme right during the presidential elections in 2017, although The province is the least visited by immigrants.

In the same context, we find some French media platforms, such as the newspaper "L'Observatur" (17), which explained through a simplified video the evidence of the lack of credibility of the big replacement theory, such as the proportion of immigrants in France, which does not exceed 9% of the population compared to 13% in Germany and Britain and 23% in Switzerland. The newspaper denounced the allegations of the extreme right of the proliferation of mosques in France, as for every mosque in France we find 17 churches, and 83% of the immigrants who enter France are of European nationalities, and the family gathering reflects the claims of the French right-wing and thinkers of Zemmour Decline, as the number of beneficiaries reached 11 thousand in 2015 compared to 23 thousand in 2003 (17).

The first screen boy

In his book "French Suicide", Eric Zemmour created a lot of controversy after his praise of the "fascist France" era, which accepted the handing over of non-French Jews to the Nazis, in exchange for preserving a large proportion of French Jews, which prompted Arab Jewish writers and journalists such as Jacques Italie and Friedrich Hazeza referred to Zemour as a traitor to his nation and an anti-Semitic Jew.

Zemmour was not satisfied with the hostility of his fellow citizens only, but he set out to host against all intellectual and militant currents, but also gender and nationality that does not place the interest of the white man above all considerations, and makes his battles with him - as Zemour describes them - a ladder that the ambushes can climb to catch him and end his hegemony and control over the world in The current time, as the right-wing writer is considered one of the opponents of feminist movements, anti-racism movements, and abnormal sexual trends that defy the laws of nature.

All of these battles moved Eric Zemmour from a mere political journalist and writer who associates his name with the traits of racism, fear of foreigners and Islamophobia, to a well-known right-wing media icon, whose thoughts cross continents to reach the bottom of the world, and is picked up by an Australian terrorist who opens his machine, leaving behind dozens of dead Muslim worshipers.

Indeed, Eric Zemmour has become a true media phenomenon, as the videos he publishes on his social media accounts no longer frustrate commentators who are indignant about his racism, but rather many comments are directed toward praise and adopted by a number of his followers with his idea, ideology, frankness and courage to preserve France and its history And its legacy. It was this support from his fans that made the Jewish writer one of the most wanted journalists in the channels, and one of the richest French journalists and media workers (18), maintaining his seat steadfast on the tables of "Tok Show" programs despite the boycott campaigns launched by a number of anti-racist societies and Islamic organizations Advertisers must prevent Zemour from reappearing, to no avail. It seems that Europe is now thirsting for a right-wing nationalist model that tends to fascism and leads it in the face of that enemy coming from all over the place called "Islam" and specifically everything that is "not French". The case that reminds us of Goebbels, the goddess of right-wing Nazi propaganda in the Hitler era.
