Is The French Language More Peaceful Than English?
April 17, 2008 · Mustapha Hamoui
One of the more cumbersome arguments on why the Lebanese should be learning French.
According to this lecture in the Department of Journalism at Holy Spirit University of Kaslik,
knowledge of the French language brings academic, economic and political advantages in terms of curbing terrorism, spreading peace and ending tribalism.
I don’t know about you, but it seems to me that countries that speak French have as much issues — If not more — than countries that speak English.
I do love French, but I think that’s one lame argument to promote a dying language
