Synopsis:
Sarkozy's burqa ban re-wrote the
rule book for assimilation politics in Europe. But with elections on the
way and the current halal meat controversy, has his hard line on Islam
simply fueled religious tensions? In the previous elections Sarkozy lost
serious ground to the far right and many saw the burqa ban as an
attempt to salvage those votes. Yet the ban also had a lot of support
from many high profile Muslims. The Imam of Drancy argued, "the burka is
an Afghani phenomenon. Afghan equals Taliban. Taliban equals
terrorism." With halal meat the hot topic of next month's election
campaigns, has Sarkozy been too dangerously divisive towards France's
Islamic population?
