French philosopher warns that if Muslim population in Europe grows indefinitely, ‘we will face tragedies’ Dec 10, 2024 11:00 am By Robert Spencer 12 Comments Pierre Manent said: “If [the Muslim population of Europe] grows indefinitely, as is the case in Europe today, we will face tragedies that no version of secularism will be able to control.” He was quite right, of course, but he is being denounced as an “Islamophobe,” and Europe appears determined to continue on its merry way to Sharia and self-destruction. “French philosopher shocks the web with his comments on Muslims,” translated from “Un philosophe français choque la toile avec ses propos sur les musulmans,” Bladi.net, December 7, 2024 (thanks to David): French philosopher Pierre Manent has given his opinion on immigration and the number of Muslims in Europe. But his comments have sparked a heated controversy on social media. “Can we still live together?” Invited onto the set of Figaro TV, as part of a program on secularism, French philosopher Pierre Manent responds bluntly: “We still have to look at the masses, the forces, and realize that the pressure is such that we have to make decisions concerning, I say it bluntly, the number of Muslims in Europe.” Supporting his argument, he stated that the number of Muslims in Europe “cannot grow indefinitely.” “If it grows indefinitely, as is the case in Europe today, we will face tragedies that no version of secularism will be able to control,” concluded the philosopher. These remarks sparked strong reactions from Internet users. “But how horrible this guy is!” wrote one of them on X. “Do you realize how crazy he is?” asked another. These remarks represent “a clear incitement to commit a crime against humanity,” he believes. “When Le Figaro easily broadcasts racist anti-Muslim remarks…”, similarly deplores a user. In the process, some public figures, such as the journalist and author François-Xavier Consoli, have, on the other hand, given their support to Pierre Manent. “Religion is at the center of most current issues; brushing it aside only delays the end of future conflicts,” he argued on his X account. “We will not solve any problem as long as we continue to lie to ourselves with the outdated idea of ??a “one and indivisible” France,” hammered home essayist Julien Rochedy. In the eyes of former elected official Christian Lechevalier, the philosopher’s visit is “extraordinary.” “Finally!! Pierre Manent dares to talk about limiting the number of those who only come to destroy our civilization!” he rejoiced on his X account.
