Havent seen this brought up: the French have rather a fraught history here, and recall the Algerian war, the terrorism on both sides, the OAS, Camus and Sartre, all of it. Their pretense was that Algeria wasnt a colony, but a part of metropolitan France. That didnt work out all that well. Facts and historical evolution disproved the pretense, Algeria freed itself to mixed results, and France was shaken to its core. Today, the Muslim immigrants face a pretense that they can be fully integrated into French society. Evidently not so, for a host of reasons. But some of the Le Pens appeal surely arises from those whose visions of La Belle France exclude Muslims, based on their perceptions of prior as well as present experience. Not to mention the Dreyfus affair...oh, well, I did. Im a Bad Person... https://youtube/watch?v=y-7j4WVTgWc
