Here is quote of Ben's article:
As I understand it "illumines" in french means something like 'crackpot', not illuminati. I could be wrong but I believe it means crackpot or crank... I'm pretty sure the french word for illuminati is exactly the same as english...French President Francois Hollande, for his part, on public television blamed the incident on “les illumines,” the French world[did he mean word?] for Illuminati.
I googled the definition of the word on google and it says it is defined as "illuminated". But that isn't what french people are saying he meant by the word.... Maybe someone who is from France can clear this up?
Edit: Researched this a bit more and he indeed meant extremists by it according to the French people on TPV facebook page. The google definition is illuminated but that makes absolutely no sense in terms of calling terrorists that. One thing I'm quite siure is he didn't name the illuminati. Illuminati in french I'm pretty darn sure is just "Illuminati".
