A "Juan Williams Equivalent" in France

There is always the chance that when one speaks honestly about Islam, whether factaully or through opinion that they will face the inexorable name-calling and personal attacks.  Juan Williams felt first-hand the icy hand of Islamic supression of free speech when he was fired from NPR for voicing an opinion in which he said he was nucomfortable in airports around people in "Muslim garb".  He exercised his right to speak freely and was condemned and faced with loss of income.  If that is not censorship, nothing is.

Now we have, in France the same scenario playing out, only this time it is a politician.  He states that Islam is a problem and as such is excoriated and faced with loss of his job and public censure.  Another victim of Islamic doctrine falls to the sword of Islam.

"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

What race are Muslims again?
