‘A SHOCK poll shows far-right champion Marine Le Pen leading the race for the French presidency.
An opinion poll conducted by Harris Interactive for Le Parisien newspaper put the National Front leader Le Pen’s likely support in next year’s vote at 23 per cent, against 21 per cent for the centre-right’s Mr Sarkozy.
…That prospect has sent shockwaves through the political establishment, and the left is training its fire not on the 42-year-old far-right challenger, but on Mr Sarkozy – accusing him of stirring dangerous anti-Muslim opinion.
…….Mr Sarkozy last month declared that “multiculturalism is dead” and said he wanted to see a “French Islam and not an Islam in France”, while his party has called for a national debate on religious practice in a secular state.
Meanwhile, the president last week reached out to his conservative base, hailing France’s “Christian heritage” in a speech in a Catholic pilgrim town.
The left, and many Muslim groups, sense a cynical plot. They accuse Mr Sarkozy of stirring up disputes that can only increase tensions in French cities, all in the service of 2012 presidential electoral mathematics…’ source
“dangerous anti-Muslim opinion”.. “cynical plot”……..but of course. There’s nothing dangerous about a muslim takeover of France, rapes and burnings and assaults–it’s the resulting anti-muslim opinion which is dangerous!
