Terror, Feminism, and Language in Islamic Societies – Secret languages at work
Use of French by some Algerian women in the mock trial they staged against Islamic "terrorists": during the trial, the terrorist men are made to speak standard Arabic, while the "terrorized" women, both victims and accusers, speak French.
