A survey in France published this week revealed 70 percent of the population believe there are too many foreigners living in the country and 74 percent believe Islam is not compatible with French society.

The survey, which was carried out by polling institute Ipsos and the Jean-Jaures Foundation, was published in left-leaning French newspaper Le Monde.

As well as having a distrust of Islam and a belief there are too many foreigners in the country, the poll also highlighted French misgivings on everything from globalization to Europe, the media and democracy.

But many of the more interesting results of the survey surround the controversial issues of immigration, religion and racism, which are frequently at the centre of political and public debate.

Some of the stand-out stats include:

·         According to the survey, only 29 percent of French people believe the “vast majority of immigrants who have settled in France are well-integrated”.

·         46 percent believe unemployment levels can only be cut by reducing immigration.

·         57 percent believe anti-white racism is quite common in France

·         77 percent believe religious fundamentalism in France is a concern.

·         62 percent  say they no longer feel at home in France.

  1. Looks like the French are much more intelligent then their leaders, this leads to the question of why they vote for them, and are the votes honestly counted?

  2. There was something else that Hollande offered that Sarkosy didn’t. I don’t know what that is. Immigration though big issue still may not be large enough yet. I’ve been to Marseilles. It did not feel like France but like French Middle East. Plus now the Muslim population in France is big enough to make a difference in elections.

    “…Muslims cast the deciding voted that thrust Hollande into the Elysée Palace. He also pledged to change French electoral laws so that Muslim residents without French citizenship would be allowed to vote in municipal elections as of 2014, enabling the Socialist Party to tighten its grip on political power.

    An analysis of the voting patterns that barrelled François Hollande to victory on May 6 as the first Socialist president of France since 1995 shows that this overthrow was due in large measure to Muslims, who voted for him in overwhelming numbers.

    The French vote marks the first time that Muslims have determined the outcome of a presidential election in a major western European country; it is a preview of things to come…” http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/3064/muslim-voters-europe

    Surprisingly under Hollande, France is fighting the jihadists in Mali, and now French Muslims are upset with him too. Though he got their vote he seems to get at least some idea of jihadist threat.

  3. Yesterday it was 3 out of 4 Brits that were negative on ‘Slums. Looks like a few “Danegeld overthrows” and “St. Bartholomeus” clean ups are coming. Not at governments wish, but the people, out of control. Gonna be nasty for ‘Slums in Europe. Can’t happen to a nicer bunch of savages though.

    Sometimes you have to out Muslim the Muslims.

  4. Ross take a look at last November’s election, several states went to Obama because of massive vote fraud in the big cities, cities controlled by the dems.
