[quote=Anonymous]You don't get my point. I don't think electing someone with a Muslim or Arab name is a big deal at all. I do think rejecting him because of his name would be -- and I think you are extremely over optimistic to think that the French would vote for some Hussein for president right now. That's simply not compatible with Le Pen getting 30%. Would the Parisians you know do it? Sure. Would "deep France"? No way. I can see 40% of US not voting for a Muslim for president, but you are dreaming to think that the percentage would be any lower in France. Finally, as I mentioned earlier, since cabinet positions can be subject of tokenism (particularly from someone like Sarkozy and his "ministry of national identity), a more apt comparison with available data would be to compare the number of practicing Muslims at the French National Assembly (zero out of 577), and in the US (2 out of 435). Those are elected people.[/quote]
