[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^ The question was "Muslim name" , like, Hussein as middle name.  It has already happened on the US.

A different questions is "elect a Muslim person", which can't be compared because Muslims account for 1% of the population in the US and 10% in France.  The fact that a French  presidential candidate from an openly Xenophobic and Islamophobic party, whose main rallying cry is to denounce immigration -- legal and illegal -- as the main threat to the French nation, get first place in opinion polls is not an encouraging sign.[/quote]

ok, sorry.  if you take as a sign of progress the fact that a Christian man  was elected in the US even though he had a "Muslim sounding" middle name, then you are right.  It is very heartening that a Muslim sounding middle name does not discourage American voters from voting for a Christian men.  you are so ahead.   :shock:[/quote]

So you think the French are ready to take the admittedly insignificant step to vote for a Christian man with a Muslim sounding name?  You and I agree that this a very small step -- and the whole point was that, in the current political juncture, it is unthinkable that the French would do so.  If you think they would do it now, then you are oblivious.
