"Abolish the Arabic Language…!"

Abolish the Arabic Language…!

Edward Benson wrote, ” The Basis of Islam is the Arabic Language. If it is lost, Islam is lost!”

During the French occupation of Algeria, the French government was advised by its consulate in Algeria, “We will never be able to overpower the Algerians as long as they read the Qur’an and speak Arabic. Therefore, we must remove the Arabic Qur’an from their midst, and abolish the Arabic language from their tongues.”
