__Chris: Aim:__ The Algerian and Muslim Prejudice in France stems from a long history of racial tension between the french and the Algerian and Muslim people. The aim of showing the Algerian and Muslim prejudice in france in the stranger is to make a point of showing the tension that there is between these two groups. “Like other European nations, France has a long and complicated relationship with the Muslim world and its own immigrant population, many of whom have been in the country for generations. French Muslims are highly diverse, and some are secular while others are observant” (Kille). The addition of the tension and prejudice against French Muslims and Algerian immigrants helps add to the mood and historical impact of the book on the reader. With such a large prejudice against Muslims worldwide and with so many people having preconceived opinions about Muslims it adds to the prejudice that people have against them which helps Camus’s aim of demonstrating the prejudice against these people. “Muslims in France and the French host population are locked in a discriminatory equilibrium” (Adida). Camus’s aim is to make the reader question their own opinions on this issue and make them question if they are an existentialist or not due to the fact that an existentialist is someone who determines who they are as a person based on the acts that they decide through their own will and determination and how they make their choices that impact their own life.

Holly: Audience → The intended audience of the term would be the non Muslim and Algerian people of France to observe the difficulties between the different cultures. The Algerian Muslims did not receive political or economic statuses because of the tensions that existed from the late 1800’s to the early 1900’s in France. Tension was created and result in the Algerian war which ended in 1962. Algerian Muslims immigrated to France, but because of war they were asked to abandon their religion, and were discriminated against. The prejudice in France against this group of people would eventually result in peace, but at the time there would be discrimination and tension between religious groups. The audience for this would be anyone that was not a part of the religion, as they would be able to observe the happenings and the mass upset that this would cause. The culture would create segregation because of differences, which would not allow there to be peace for a long time.

__Lexi Chatham: Historical__ The tensions that are present with the Algerian and Muslim people descent have always faced discrimination. One article recognizes this topic and states, "The problem became permanent because of the failure of the French government to impose the full naturalization of the indigenous peoples, en masse, particularly after 1865, and not really the immutability of Muslim law and unwillingness on the part of Muslims to commit apostasy, the explanation which Lorcin has adopted unquestioningly" (Barrows). Prejudice is an opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience, or a prejudgement. The reason behind the Algerian and Muslim prejudice in France was the fact that the French thought they were superior and that Algerians and Muslims could not practice what they wanted due to their differences.The tension between Algeria and the French began when Algeria was a French colony and the Muslim preconceived opinions are still present today and is a living history. Despite the Muslims having French citizenship, they are not considered to be French people with "French values" because it is said that they are not capable of "respecting" according to French society. In addition to this, there is an action of the killing of Muslims that is further known as a "rat-hunt". The prejudicial continuance in the "rat-hunt" are displayed and present in the history because the French values have to be preserved and the French believe that the Muslims are incapable of said action. The way one another is treated is based off preconceptions which leads to unfair calls that created an unfavorable history between them both. Overall, the conflict is from discrimination among one another and not holding a high respect for anthers beliefs and society.

__Cultural Lily:__ France has had many differences with the Algerians and Muslims which has continued on to modern day society. “Muslim immigrants to France are culturally distinct from the host society in ways that are threatening to French republican ideals; such distinction feeds anti-Muslim discrimination in France, which itself encourages greater Muslim withdrawal from French society, feeding back into French discrimination” ( Adida,Laitin,Valfort). The french seem to have such a great rejection and no appreciation for the Muslim culture at all. The French have believed that the Muslim culture is so unsuitable to them that the French have convinced this generation and the many more to come about their stance on Muslims. The French have their reservations about the Muslim culture which is totally accepted however what is not accepted is the amount of discrimination that is given between the two. The French are more surrounded by Christian beliefs were as Muslims believe that there god is Allah. These differences has caused a black and white path. The French saying it needs to be a certain way where the Muslims need it to be a different way. Between the two, it is clear that the grey path is not found due to the amount of emotional attachment on both sides. This amount of hatred towards the Muslims and Algerians is because Algeria won its independence from France which has brought this grudge that either side has seemed to be able to let go of. By the amount of time that has passed by with the constant back and forth it seems that this dispute between the two will not end anytime soon.
