French Muslims are predominantly left-leaning in their voting preferences, but there are exceptions. Here are three French Muslims of Arab descent, all of whom vote for Marine Le Pen of the far-right National Front party. Here are their testimonies:
Karima, policewoman: “Many of my colleagues of Arab descent vote far right, but don’t dare say so.”
A 33-year-old naturalised French citizen of Moroccan origin, Karima is a mother of three, married to a Frenchman. She arrived in France 15 years ago, and has a diploma in Computer Science from a French university. Now she works as a policewoman in Paris and declined to provide her last name.
Karima says she started becoming interested in the ideas of Jean-Marie Le Pen, founder of the extreme-right National Front party, in 2002. These days, Karima says she regularly attends party meetings and votes for National Front candidates whenever she can.
“My vote is an expression of my rejection of certain Muslim Arabs [in France], whom I personally consider ‘thugs’. They’ve destroyed French society. At least in the old days, they lived in the same suburbs,” said Karima, referring to the largely immigrant, impoverished “banlieues” of major French metropolises. “But for the last several years, the mayor of Paris, Bertrand Delanoe, has done everything in his power to house them in nice neighbourhoods – like the 15th district, where I live.”
She says she is generally furious at these French-born citizens of North African origin who show no consideration for their country. If the National Front ever gets a candidate elected to the presidency, she would like to see people who “don’t deserve” their French nationality stripped of their citizenship.
According to Karima, many of her “colleagues of Arab descent vote far right, but don’t dare say so”.
Farid Smahi, former National Front office employee: “I’m Arab, I celebrate Ramadan, and I vote Le Pen.”
Farid Smahi, 59, is a Frenchman of Algerian descent, a father of three children, and graduate of a French university with a degree in French literature. He currently works for an association that offers aid to people in need in the Paris area. His father fought in the French army during World War II, before becoming an activist for Algerian independence.
“You can’t be both Algerian and French,” Smahi noted. According to Smahi, most of the Arabs and Muslims who voted for Marine Le Pen in the first round of this year’s presidential election are those who arrived in France recently: doctors and engineers, for example, who had good jobs in their native countries, but decided to flee the repressive dictatorships of these countries.

“These are people who suffered to become French,” Smahi said. “Unlike those others who were born here and continue to vote for the left, when they still don’t understand that it’s the left that dumped them in the ghettos to begin with.”
Smahi expressed his distaste for Arabs and Muslims who have not yet adopted the ways of their country of residence. “I’m Arab, I celebrate Ramadan, and I vote National Front. I don’t like halal meat anymore. I can’t stand women who wear the headscarf, and even less, women who wear the burqa. France is a beautiful country,” he said. “In France, we drink wine and we eat pork. My Muslim compatriots need to calm down, and stop imposing their religion on society.” His bottom line: “We’re in France: love it or leave it.”
Myriam, hotel maid: “The day the National Front is in power, things will be different.”
Myriam, aged 45, is a French woman of Tunisian origin who also declined to provide her last name. Married, with four children, she has lived in the Parisian suburb of Melun for the past 20 years. After dropping out of school because of “family problems”, she began working as a maid in a Parisian hotel.

Myriam does not have kind things to say about her black and Arab compatriots. In her view, they are the cause of all of France’s problems. “If I could change my origins, I’d do it with pleasure,” she admitted.
“The only concern of Blacks and Arabs is looking for a way to get around French law to profit from the social benefits offered here, and to make money without making any effort. They’ve ruined our reputation,” she said. “It’s true that some of them struggle and work hard, but many others…take advantage of the help offered by the government. The day the National Front is in power, things will be different.”
If France continues down the path of dhimmitude and voting in “progressive” governments that destroy their society, culture, and identity, then they deserve what they get!
Well knock me down with a feather is this something that we could put on “Ripleys Believe It or Not”??? ok will quit the jokes here… now thats good to see people of Muzzo backgrounds respecting French and their culture unfortunately still have a lobg way to go with a majority of Muzscum.
Helen, I know, it was a shock to me, too.
Relieved to hear about these people. I hope they can persuade others to think in the same terms, or at least non-Muslim French. I’m sure they don’t give their last names, because they know Muslims are generally vindictive and violent.
It takes a lot of intelligence and courage to stand apart of the thuggish, immature, and self-pitying Muslim herd mentality. I wish them lots of good luck.
Hmmm…at least some Muslims are smart.
They are smart enough to realize that Sharia is/was the basis of the laws of the countries they left and they don’t want to see it imposed in France.
But those other Muslim retards want to make France the same as the hellholes they emigrated from.
Good for them; there are some that realize what’s “good” and what’s “right” and it’s Not being a barbaric savage with barbaric Sharia Laws and having to cover up in bags.. Kudos to those who spoke up – unfortunately there are not enough ..
And besides, the Islamic ideology is such that these people, good as they are, are ALWAYS at risk of going bad by becoming like the bad Muslims that surround them!!!
To make any difference, we’d need a BIG majority of Muslims to be like these few – and they’d have to be ready to inform on their militant colleagues!!! Without such a REAL body, it would be best for these people to prove their genuineness by formally renouncing those parts of Islam that are bad to us in writing and on video (in essence becoming apostates), so that they could THEN be proven to be of the special protected class if things go they otherwise truly MUST!!!
I salute these fine people and hope they do all they can to educate others. This is not about race it’s about cultures and how to preserve them. These guys understand that in ways most others cannot. Islam hates and destroys cultures so that it can dominate all.
Some day maybe they will be free enough to say they are no longer muslim if they want.
THEY’RE KIDDING THEMSELVES that Islam can be reformed.
Many ‘bad’ Moslems reject normative Islamic apartheid and misogyny. They are ‘hypocrites’ and are half-way to leaving this Death Cult, but they resist ‘going all the way’ because that would mean disassociating completely from their families.
They are hoping (unrealistically, I think) that they can change their hell-hole home countries to become more like France.
Islam is a vortex that sucks everything progressive into its black hole and annihilates it.
ISLAM CANNOT BE REFORMED, but only abandoned.
These French Moslems haven’t the courage to recognize that Islam is TOTALLY DYSFUNCTIONAL AND CANNOT BE CHANGED.
exactly perceptor1, Islam must be discredited and its falsehood exposed.
Nice the good people of all races and cultures are starting to see the light…(the good ones) No way to wake up the evil ones.
Mr. F, 3 out of 5 million isn’t exactly representative I’m sure there are some more but the vast majority are on the Left.
Until they renounce Islam, I do not trust them one bit. You CHOOSE to be a Muslim, just like you CHOOSE to be an asshole or a Nazi. These people need to give up a deeply flawed totalitarian ideology. They are so close, you can sense they realize that reality is vastly different than what they have been taught it is. They SENSE this. They need to make the final step and break away. I will not trust them until they do.
Sometimes it’s really hard not to paint with a broad brush, but these 3 rational people show us why we shouldn’t. ‘course, it could be taqqiya.
Steve, I believe them. What do they have to gain by saying this? There are always exceptions, but they are the true tiny minority, at least in terms of what we would look at as nice muslims.
I am inclined to agree with Steve. Please, let me explain why.
During my long debates with Muslims in the Net, many Muslims have been disguised as Christians, Jews and pagans. They think that when they defend Islam as non-Muslims the naive (which is the majority) will believe the lies about Islam, how peaceful and great Islam is. YES, TAKKYA IS AT WORK.
Indeed Bonni, they are the exception but unfortunately a tiny minority. Which, I might add, needs protecting because they are relentlessly persecuted by foaming at the mouth religious nuts.
Precisely why I feel that such exceptions MUST be made to formally renounce those parts of Islam both in writing and via recorded video evidence thereof – and even then, when the crunch of wholesale deportation begins, these people would have to live under SEVERE restrictions for a full 20, maybe 25, years at least before they could get citizenship. Were they to completely renounce Islam, the probation period MIGHT be reducible to 12 years – which hopefully is a good long hard time that will weed out those who’re bad…
hmmm,north african citizens who show no consideration for their country? Sounds familiar…….
The photo with Muslims dressed in black burqas appear as frightening as the Klu Klux Klan dressed in white look to Blacks.
What are they hiding under those black uniforms? Muslim men with machetes for cutting our heads, feet, and hands off? Suicide bombs?
In fact, the one on the right looks male. Check out the height, size and shape of the feet. The walk and posture also look male.
The one on the left appears tall, as well, but it might be because she is closer to the camera. That one is definitely female.
Are their kids in there marching?
They truly are scarey.
In the one picture, they are actually men and women protesting the burka. They are a femenist organisation called Not Whores Not Submisive.
Ni Putes Ni Soumises Organizes a Protest Against the Burqa
Text and images: Sarah Braasch
Ni Putes Ni Soumises (NPNS), a women’s rights organization located in Paris, organized a protest on Monday, January 25th, against the burqa and in support of an anticipated parliamentary bill to ban the burqa in France. NPNS was created as a response to the egregious violence being perpetrated against the women and girls of the cités or quartiers in the banlieues (ghettoized suburban housing projects surrounding France’s major cities that are predominantly composed of marginalized Muslim immigrant communities).
The burqa is a full body covering while the niqab is a face covering, which exposes only the eyes. The potential law to ban the burqa and the niqab in public spaces and buildings has been a hotly contested issue in France for many months. The Parliament has been investigating the matter, including the possible effects of a ban. Recently, France’s Socialist Party, the opposition party, revealed their intent to vote against any law banning the burqa and/or niqab in public.
Ni Putes Ni Soumises (Neither Whores Nor Submissives) fights for women’s rights as universal human rights without compromise. They condemn cultural relativism and obscurantism. They support a public burqa ban in France. They are unequivocal in their repudiation of both the burqa and niqab as barbaric patriarchal cultural traditions that have absolutely nothing to do with Islam.
On Monday morning, 20 NPNS women’s rights activists donned black burqas and stood silently in front of the gates of the Socialist Party’s offices in Paris with pink placards denouncing the burqa. The President of Ni Putes Ni Soumises, Sihem Habchi, left a burqa, a letter and a rose on the sidewalk in front of the gates. Ms. Habchi clearly stated her purpose to the press when she said, “We came to tell the progressive forces of France not to abandon women to the violence of the obscurantists.”

Shalom Dubi,
Love those ladies at NPNS, and they sure still have plenty of work ahead given all the morons out there, eyes closed and hands on ears: “la la la… not listening!” Aubry sure doesn’t like them, and not surprising when you see what the bitch as allowed to happen in her municipality!
WOW, look at that pic of Marine LE Pen!!!!!
The modern day JOAN OF ARC, ridding her nation of the muslim invaders!! LOVE IT!!!!
Actually, tomorrow before her talk, Marine will lead the traditional march in honor of Joan of Arc (born 600 years ago), and yours truly will proudly be there honoring her memory.
Marine truly is a Patriot, which is why Patriots, those who are not afraid to be labeled as racists and islamophobes have voted for her. The others too scared to ‘come out’ and those still asleep stood back, and considering the insults and slamming we’ve been getting from media and politics at home and abroad since last week end, it shows what we’re up against!
The media here and there, obviously is the devils tool. It is therefore our job to take the truth to as many people that will listen.
Patriotic, God loving, seekers of freedom need to stand strong even to the point of our lives. Sadly I think that is what is upon this world.
Alain,
I’m sure you heard the recent news. Sarkozy is dead in the water and Hollande is running after Le Pen voters.
But Le Pen voters don’t want Hollande neither. So, they might not vote at all. Which would leave Le Pen as kingmaker, as I said a few weeks ago, and they are even talking about the possibility the FN might be the opposition party.
News is very good Alain.
Susan, good news indeed. Keep us informed.
Susan, they BOTH want our vote, but guess what, as far as we’re concerned -except to those to afraid of the plague and thus going for the cholera, it’s ABSTENTION!!!
Thing is, it’s gonna be a disaster either way, so might as well go for the shock therapy as opposed to the frog in the water getting slowly cooked; might jolt some awake FINALLY!
PS: I’m wouldn’t be surprised if some not so well intentioned bodies came to crash our meeting with Marine tomorrow -there’s already been violence from Mélanchon’s voters towards her people/voters, before, so could be brace brace brace!
Alain, you’re meeting with Marine? Let us know what happens.
Her and alongside with 1000s of Patriots, Bonni, for the Joan of Arc anniversary parade from Palais Royal to place Place de l’Opéra, where she’ll then speak her mind on pest and cholera’s respective programs. Tricolor flags will be raised high and it’s gonna be a blast I wouldn’t miss for the world! Will report back.
Alain, wish I could be there.
Wish you had been here, it was great! Sun was out, Patriots who came in force and the sea of flags was a sight for sore eyes. Standing strong and proud with the woman leading the fight for our survival as a sovereign nation.
No doubt we’ll get more and more bashing and finger pointing but the message should be be loud and clear: deaf to the pleas of traitors calling to us to raise them in the position of furthering our downfall, in defence of our nation and its sovereignty, we stand watch and guard, light in the shadows threatening to engulf us, voices never again drowned by those who would seek to destroy us from their ivory towers or hellholes bastions. In memory of all of who have built and fallen before us, we Patriots proudly stand.
Alain, may her popularity keep rising
Please do! She’s not married, is she?
Divorced, but spoken for right now DSD, sorry!
I will be duly impressed when you renounce Islam and profess to believe in the Father, the Son the Holy Ghost.
ICE, renouncing Islam would be more than enough. They don’t have to convert to something else.
Agree, BNI, as a Christian, I would like to see them come to an ‘acceptance’ of Christ but you are ABSOLUTELY correct it is their ‘Right to Renounce’ (without accepting anything in it’s place).
One well-known author, I’ve read, is a professing Atheist; it’s too bad (I think) but I can understand, after such a dark ‘experience’ I think I can understand such a ‘rejection of diety’…
Ms. BNI, you’re right in principle; however, if people TRULY (not nominally!!!) convert to Christianity, then they’re that much more likely to be trustworthy.
ADHD, why does it have to be Christianity? They can convert to any other religion and still be more trustworthy than a muslim. Or they don’t have to follow any religion at all. It doesn’t necessarily make them an atheist. They could be an agnostic. Not following any religion doesn’t mean they hate all religion. I’m a Jew who never goes to synagogue except for weddings, funerals, bar mitzvah. I don’t observe any Jewish holidays either. Does that make me untrustworthy?
Of course not, dear Ms. BNI!! I’d GLADLY trust you as much as anybody else!!!
However, you were neither born nor raised a Muslim. With former Muslims it’s a different story: since they have learned so much hatred due to Islam, anything that can counter that influence can only be to the good.
I’m not out to put down atheism or agnosticism (my late father was a die-hard atheist who was very embittered against religion by being born into the midst of a country still being ravaged by World War I – and look at this non-denominational fundamentalist!), but honestly I feel that Christianity – on account of its stressing love more than the other religions – is a choice which will make somebody that much more likely not to relapse into Islam.
Only problem is, ADHD, Christianity is more than about “love;” the cornerstone of your faith means an acceptance of Christ as your personal savior – and the only path to Heaven. I totally love & admire my committed Christian friends (most of whom are “born again”), and I will always treasure the Sundays I spent in church with my late Episcopalian husband (who was brought up a Methodist). But, like BNI, an unaffiliated and mostly non-observervant Jew, I’m still a Jew – and OUR Mosiach/Messiah will only return to Earth when Peace among all men and all nations has been achieved.
The funny thing is this, MANY times one can read/hear from Muslims in the West the Full Covering is not demanded in Islam. So if this is not stoned-gawd allah’s “law”, why adhere to “human traditions”? The Problem is that those who say it is not required, do not better, and others know that is a demand but just want to mislead the “Unbelievers”
wow. i wonder how many of the burka clad are really women? ther are a couple that don’t even have their eyes or noses showing. i wonder if they fell down?
I hope that Lady gets elected to save France if not France is a dead Country nothing but them filthy ass lifter Moslems.
I find it curious that the protesters in the first picture declaring Sharia 4 France have signs printed in English.
