Winston Smith and Marine Le Pen

Franco-Islamist: The guy has timing, according to Rabble. The title refers to French voters electing a savvy Franco-Islamist party, which unites right and left behind it, to defeat Marine Le Pen nationalists. I received the English translation the same day as the Paris attacks. Islamicization of the school system and even of the Sorbonne seems a small price to pay for social peace. This in turn evokes Winston Smith surrender at the end of Orwell 1984: "He loved Big Brother." But Winston Smith capitulation is tragic because he strove to resist domination, he yearned for political and sexual freedom. The title also refers to Islam, which means surrender -- and surrender of the narrator, an enervated academic, who converts at the book end. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
