Student Protesters in France Have a Strange New Slogan. What Does It Mean?
Only The New York Times reports this: no contrast yet
None of the other outlets we follow has reported this story, so there are no versions to compare. If others publish it or data appear that test it, it will move to the comparison.
“Bismillah, c’est les ténèbres” has appeared on signs at recent demonstrations. It doesn’t make much sense (it means, “In the name of God, it’s the darkness”) but is seen as shorthand for a generational divide.
