Two thirds of French fear Muslims taking over country from Christians. Is it the same here?

It’s no wonder Macron spends his time creating the image of the UK as his nation’s great enemy when you see what is really troubling the majority of voters; that the existence of Christians is under threat from Muslims.

In a new poll respondents were asked whether ‘’white, European, Christian populations are threatened with extinction following Muslim populations from north and black Africa.’’

A total of 27% judged the scenario ‘’certain’’ and a further 34% ‘’probable’’. The survey conducted by the Harris Institute found about 67% were worried by the idea.

The polling comes at a difficult time for France. They have a presidential election next year with Macron being unpopular and a far Right philosopher Eric Zemmour making the running. He subscribes to the ideology ‘’le grand remplacement’’ in which immigrants with large families will take over the country unless something is done.

He is more publicly strident about minorities than Marine Le Pen, leader of the far Right National Rally. Her deputy, Jordan Bardella, 26, has no such qualms saying the Muslims are a ‘’an implant on our soil with which we share nothing.’’

I am sure our country shares some of their concerns. The murder of Tory MP Sir David Amess by a young Muslim of Somali background will not have helped cohesion between Christians and Muslims. Sir David was an ardent Catholic.

Even the centre Right Gaullist of France, who have previously kept schtum on the issue, are voicing their concerns.

Gilles Platt, deputy chairman of the centre Right Republicans, says; ’’You have people of foreign origin who are driving out, little by little, what in demography we call the natives.’’

There will be parts of the UK where that will be just as true. Would be interesting to see such a poll carried out over here.
