The Minister of Mixed Marriages


French Minister of Immigration and National Identity, Eric Besson, divorced with three children, will marry his Tunisian companion, Yasmine Tordjman, 23. The question everyone is asking: Will he convert to Islam?

François Desouche links to the article in Le Parisien:

After some delays his decision has been made. Eric Besson, 52, Minister of Immigration and National Identity will marry Yasmine Tordjman, the 23-year-old Tunisian girl who has been his companion since his divorce from Sylvie Brunel in June 2009. The marriage is to take place in Paris on September 16, probably in the offices of the mayor of the 7th arrondissement. A few days ago, Eric Besson and his companion traveled to Tunisia, on the occasion of the marriage of the granddaughter of President Ben Ali. The couple plans to spend part of their summer vacation in Tangiers, Morocco.

Reminders: Former Minister of Justice Rachida Dati is mayor of the 7th arrondissement. It is rumored she will perform the ceremony. Rachida Dati, a Muslim woman, who recently gave birth to an illegitimate daughter, whose father is still unknown (at least his name has not been revealed by the press), will marry a 23-year-old Muslim woman to a man 29 years her senior. Since he is not (yet) a Muslim, and since Muslim girls are forbidden to marry outside their faith, we are waiting with bated breath to see how these loose ends are tied. Obviously, Muslim women who work their way into the upper echelons of French government have certain privileges.

The issue of his conversion to Islam is still up in the air. If you do a Google on the topic, you will find some saying that he will not convert, others saying that he will. The following report from Islam en France, a blog connected to the news source 20 Minutes, claims that he will. It also uses as its source Le Parisien, and gives the same basic information as above, except for the following:

The happy bride is Yasmine Tordjman, 23, a student in Paris, and the great granddaughter of Madame Wassila Bourguiba, the wife of the former Tunisian president, Habib Bourguiba. Mr. Besson has promised his in-laws that he will convert to Islam as the religion requires.

The story of his possible conversion goes back a few months. Sometime back in February of this year, a website called Bakchich revealed that the French Minister of Immigration and National Identity would be converting to Islam as required by the Muslim religion, upon which Bakchich was sued by Besson for violation of his private life. On February 12, the lawyers faced off before the judge and on February 26 the Paris Tribunal deemed that the lawsuit had no foundation. The case was dismissed.

More reminders: It was Eric Besson who, back in January, while visiting the project of La Courneuve, said: "France is not a people, or a language or a territory or a religion, but a conglomeration of peoples who want to live together..." Besson, born in Morocco to a mother who was part Arab, raised as a Christian, was Nicolas Sarkozy's unerringly appropriate choice to head the Ministry of Immigration. Sarkozy never misses a chance to show his disdain for the traditions of France, all the while proclaiming himself to "have been elected to defend French national identity." (Source: François Desouche)

Eric Besson's comments in January came in the midst of a so-called national debate on French identity, a largely unsuccessful attempt to fool the French into thinking their opinion counted for something.

In an article dating from November 2009, Eric Besson spoke about mixed marriages:

Besson said that he felt that mixed marriages represented an "enrichment for our society" but that defending them had to include a fight against "gray" marriages and "white" marriages.

Note: A "gray" marriage is between a foreigner and a French person who is abused. A "white" marriage is a marriage of convenience agreed upon by both parties.

I'm not sure what is meant by "abused". Here, it seems to mean that the French person is somehow forced into marriage with the foreigner.

Remember that the "French person" may not necessarily be an ethnic Frenchman or Frenchwoman, but a Maghrebin with a French passport. We never really know who is who when we read racial and ethnic statistics.

Besson pointed out that 80% of annulments involve mixed marriages. According to Besson, 13% of the children born in France are of mixed couples, compared to 6% ten years ago.

Today, marriage is the principal "source" of immigration in France. With 50,000 authorizations for long stays issued each year to those who use marriage as their reason for emigrating, that represents double the number of visas granted for professional reasons. Furthermore, 30,000 of the 100,000 naturalizations granted in 2007 were justified on grounds of marriage.

In many steps, one after the other, many small steps but some large, the West is deconstructing itself. It is a slow but obvious process of self annihilation. Muslim influence in the ruling elites will continue to grow until the day comes when Islam has critical mass sufficient to begin the overt destruction of the symbols of Western civilization.

it is high time everybody read "la mosquée de Notre-Dame de Paris"
ask google for further details!
I do agree with the conclusion of the book : I'd rather commit suicide than submit to the barbarians, but I'd love to take a lot of them along! And I'd rather blow up my beloved cathedral (I was born on the other side of the "parvis de Notre-Dame") than see it defiled and turned into a mosque....

@ zazie,

I have not heard much about that book since that first burst of publicity. Is it well-written?

As for transforming the cathedral into a mosque, maybe they would try that. Or maybe they would be clever enough not to go to such extremes. However, a while back there were hints that N-D de la Garde in Marseille could some day become a mosque. If things like that really do happen, it is the end. But we are not there yet.

I know the question is almost silly, considering the circumstances, but do you perceive things as worsening dramatically every day? Do you think the next election (2012) might bring a change - not to the P.S. of course, but to a government dedicated to the cause of France? Sarkozy certainly wants to win again, and I fear that, despite his low popularity, he will, because people won't know what else to do. Is Marine Le Pen popular where you live?

When I first saw her picture I thought she was some sort of Asiatic, maybe Vietnamese. Besson is obviously following the example of Allah's designated child molester in taking a wife three decades his junior. He reminds me so much of those desperate, pathetic old white men who go to poor non-white countries to find much younger wives because their own women don't want anything to do with them. It's all about submissiveness and easy sex. (I am not defending the ugly feminazis that predominate in the West either.)

As for conversion, Besson finds himself in a win-win position. Don't convert and it's fine, because the usual rules don't apply to the bien pensants, and people in his position get the security that should prevent any kind of retribution from the Muslim street. Convert and he's taken the final step and shown where his loyalties lie. Everyone already knows whose side he's on, but he might as well make it official, a sort of baptism into the foreign invader's ranks. Really, though, he doesn't need to convert, given that Islam is basically an ethnic marker. His marriage and policies are enough of a sop to what is a race war first, an ideological war second.

Besson's only defense is that he at least practices what he preaches. Why not Sarko? Isn't a Third World darkie good enough for him? Still, Besson should do the honorable thing and resign. And hang from a rope. For that his conversion to Satanism would be very useful evidence at a treason trial. But all in good time.

@ Tiberge
I can't possibly judge the literary quality of the book ; it was first written in Russian, I read a translation ; I can only say the plot is well-built and gets more and more credible as you advance in the book. There is a mystical aspect that my "cartesian" mind finds difficult to accept, particularly about a little girl who seems to be connected with God.
Now for your questions : YES, the climate is worsening day after day ; YES, Marine Le Pen is popular in Vaucluse, or rather Le Front National scored high in the latest elections (for example 38% in Cavaillon) ; NO, it won't be enough I am afraid : lots of people are scared and WANT TO BELIEVE Sarkozy is sincere.....And lots of others WANT TO BELIEVE that Socialists (Aubry, Royal or Strauss-Kahn) are honest and interested in the well-being of their fellow-citizens!!!

Anonymous: "maybe he's already a muslim: TAQYIIA!"

What about the girl's name?
Tordjman is supposed to be a Jewish name.

@ Golvan,

If she were Jewish, it is not likely he would be considering converting to Islam. Her origins have been discussed at the forums and message boards. I cannot say with certainty what she is, but I have heard that the name Tjordman is not sufficient proof of Jewish origins, since in North African countries Arabs and Jews may have the same family name.

UK: Gay Vicar, 65, To ‘Marry’ Nigerian Male Model Half His Age

To former vicar Colin Coward, it is nothing short of a marriage made in heaven. But the 65-year-old is expected to raise a few traditional eyebrows when he walks down the aisle with the man in his life — a 25-year-old Nigerian model called Bobby.

Mr Coward and his African partner are due to hold a civil partnership later this year, followed by a service at the vicar’s church, St John the Baptist church in Devizes, Wiltshire.

The couple met at a Christian conference three years ago, and are planning to make their relationship official in a few weeks’ time.

In my opinion I think the relationship of his ex is really time wasted. I wonder what will his ex wife would thought that he choose a beautiful 24 years old women.
