In light of the increasing anxiety about Islam in France, the affair of the Levy sisters has demonstrated the extent to which Islam has grown more influential in their country. It is not only Islam that scares the French, but also any religion that lifts its head and threatens to blur the secular outlines of the Republic. Studies show that only one out of 20 French citizens sees himself as connected to religion, the lowest proportion in all of Europe.
The question that is being asked today is how to stop the spread of Islam. About two months ago, worrying details surfaced from a secret report written by the French internal intelligence service about French people who have converted to Islam. The information was leaked to the right-wing newspaper Le Figaro and sparked anger mixed with fear throughout the country. According to the secret report, about 50,000 French people have converted to Islam. The intelligence services described this process as "a disturbing phenomenon that is at the height of flourishing."

The so-called Islamo-phobia is just one of the some reasons for the current French government being against Turkey's full membership... They serve "our" intereststs anyway...
