Well, he speaks the truth.

“It’s true that the increase in the number of faithful in (Islam), a certain number of behaviours, poses a problem,” he said on Monday.

Singling out the “problem” of Muslims praying in the street, he said that France’s secular law dates from 1905 when there were “very few Muslims”, while their number today is between five and six million. The anti-racism group SOS Racisme said it would be launching legal action against Mr Gueant for inciting racial hatred.

“The growing number of Muslims in France poses a problem.” Saying that is inciting racial hatred? Ever ask a Muslim how they feel about Jews or infidels? Oh yeah, we’re not supposed to do that because it’s insensitive and not politically correct. Besides, asking that question may get you in legal trouble for “inciting racial hatred.”

“The growing number of Muslims in France poses a problem.” Gee, ya think maybe Claude Gueant is on to something?
