White House Censors Words "Islamist Terrorism" From Francis Hollande's Speech

You can hear on the audio what seems to sound an awful lot like a break in the sound (like someone hit the bleep button) as the translator simply stops translating when she hears Hollande says the forbidden words "terrorisme Islamiste."

The bolded words are what the translator refuses to translate:

"But we're also well aware that the roots of terrorism, [Islamist terrorism, is in Syria and in Iraq. We therefore have to act both in Syria and in Iraq, and this is what we're doing within the framework of the coalition.] And we note that Daesh is losing ground thanks to the strikes we've been able to launch with the coalition."

I'm trying to hear the French to make sure this isn't just a tricky patch of translation. But it seems not to be. Hollande speaks very simply and is one of the easiest French speakers to translate. The words I can hear are very clear. The part which has been censored I can't hear, because the translator is still translating the last sentence as he says the censored words "terrorisme Islamiste," but the words that follow are plain enough.

Which leads me to conclude as everyone else concludes: There was no difficulty translating this bit. Instead, another person in the booth pushed the "mute" button the translation when he heard the words "terrorisme islamiste."

Here are the words I can hear --

...terrorisme Islamiste [audio cut, but he seems to say "en Iraq et en Syrie" Then French audio returns:]
Nous devons agir en Irak et en Syrie. C'est ce qui le faisons dans le cadre dans la coalition. Nous constatons que Daesch est donc --

Translation, --

Islamist terrorism [audio cut]. We must act in Iraq and Syria. That's what we must doing in the framework of the coalition. We note that Daesch is therefore--

This is extremely straightforward French. I listen to Hollande a lot because it's almost as if he's speaking purposefully simply for non-native speakers (which, given the Party Socialist's support from foreign-born voters, he probably is.)

This is virtually first semester stuff. A non-speaker can easily map each French word for each English word (agir = act, nous devons = we must), except for the "c'est ce qui" stuff, which is like third semester ("This is that which").

I can't hear the worlds before Islamic terrorism but I can guess, because that's also almost certainly straightforward as well: "Nous savons, beinsur, que les racines de terrorisme, terrorisme Islamiste--" or something like that. "Racine" is used in French just as it is in English -- to mean "root" both literally and figuratively.

So this is not any problem with translation; this is someone hitting the Mute button and touching the translator on the shoulder to tell her to skip over this dangerous passage.

However, the forbidden words do appear on the White House's transcript/translation of Hollande's remarks.

At 4:38, the censorship begins:

Because France and Belgium are "at war with hatred," not people of a particular ideology masquerading as a religion.

You will notice the word for "negative" or "no" or "nothing" is practically universal with "n" sound. I'm no linguist but it probably has a lot to do with the "nnn" sound of disgust/rejection that is inherent in humans. Just like the shaking of the head side-to-side is understood universally as "no."

Nyet in Russian is no.
Nunca in Spanish is never.
Null in English is nothing.
And of course "no" is no several languages.

In Japan, the sound "Ne?" basically means "Right?" or "OK"? It's sort of a "questioning affirmative."

A sample use might be "I look cute in these Hello Kitty undergarments, Ne?"

So that's an example of the "N[vowel]" word meaning something positive or yes-like.

Greece as well. Do you know the story behind it?

When Greece and other countries that were predominantly Christian were occupied by the Ottomans, representatives of the Sultan's "administration" would go through the villages and question the townspeople in regards to their faith. They did they by holding a sabre to the throat of the person being questions, and would ask if he/she was a Muslim. In Greece at least, the respondent would answer Oxi (no) but would nod his/her head up and down, thus saving themselves from slicing their own throat, saying no, and confusing the hell out of the Turks, who from then on thought Oxi meant yes. And had to be accompanied by the head nod.

It took me a week or so of getting used to this, after I moved to Athens. But after that week, I was doing it too. And still do every once in a while. Drives my kids nuts.

Not just someone you don't know. Sometimes, it's someone you've met before (or are acquaintances of), in a public setting, but signals that you don't want to stand around with that awkward minute of conversation where you try to pretend that you're better friends than you are.

311 But we're also well aware that the roots of terrorism, {Islamist terrorism, is in Syria and in Iraq. ...}

That's not even true. In the threats that emanate from the arab/persian/muslim world Syria and Iraq were two of the main elements of secular arab terrorism. islamic terrorism was run out of Saudi Arabia (and Egypt, Sunni) and Iran (Shiite). Syria and Iraq are mere newcomers to the pan-islamic transformation of the arab world and certainly not the sources of muslim terror - though they have tons of arabs who are itching to pull a lot of secular arab terror on the world.

We can thank Barky and France, too, for helping pan-islamism sweep the arab world. Let us not forget that Barky took his personal army into an illegal war in Libya on the say-so of the Frogs, in order to help them protect Total's oil operations (nothing wrong with protecting oil operations, of course, but not for the back-stabbing, anti-American French, that's for sure). After which, Barky and his junta spent some time sending arms to islamic terrorists in Syria through Libya .. until other islamists blew up the consulate and killed Americans.

Back in the 70s, France had some law that demanded all programming keywords be in French ... which meant that the French had problems with all the available software of the day.
