How do the French really feel about Muslims in France?

          France has about five to six million Muslim immigrants, which is more than both Germany and Britain. They flee the harsh conditions of unemployment in the former French colonies in West and North Africa, expecting a better life in France. However, most of them are subject to the dirtiest, low-paid work. There is a lot of racism that goes on, and the issue is not being helped by the fact that most French people want Muslim immigrants sent home because there are "too many of them." On top of that, all of France's main parties are against any more newcomers, which now has legal immigration very tight. This sounds pretty familiar if you ask me! However, maybe there are some things that those in the National Front (who advocate turning Muslims away) should pay attention to before giving the cold shoulder. Although the Muslims are unwanted by most, they seem to pay a huge contribution to bashing the gays, which is something the National Front is totally into. According to the article I came across, the Muslim's made a prominent contribution in a protest against gender equality teaching in schools and fertility treatment for same-sex couples. A 54 year old Muslim father said “I am opposed to gender theory lessons in schools, I am opposed to same-sex marriage, we are in the process of destroying the fundamentals of French life." The Muslims seems to have a great deal of French nationalism for being the outcasts in society.

So does the National Front really want the same group of people who are supporting their issues to be sent home?
