Me I try to bring together he then said

A penalty given the debate on national identity, the majority is now divided on the issue of secularism, and watermark, of islam. The differences appear even on the appropriateness of such a debate, that the UMP will organize at a convention on April 5, at the initiative of Jean-François Copé, its Secretary-General. The warnings have escalated yesterday. Gérard Larcher, President of the Senate, including expressed, on iTélé and Radio Classique, his concern about the relevance to these issues. "It should not undermine secularism in a poorly prepared debate", he warned. On France Inter, Alain Juppe has, similarly, step chewed his words. The Minister of Defence stated to be a "framing" of the debate "before embarking on this discussion that might go wrong." Words that follow those of many elected officials from right-wing, Christian Vanneste to Patrick Devedjian. Not to mention Dominique de Villepin (read below). The ex-garde of the seals Rachida Dati has even mentioned the "risk of stigmatization of Muslims, who are primarily French." Backed by the UMP, the Christian Democratic Party is more far, its Chairperson, Christine Boutin, holding the debate "excessively hazardous".

Anticipating fire critical of tenors of its majority, the head of State had also found it useful to take the heat out this already controversial discussion, last weekend, at the Salon of agriculture. "We try to always mount the against each other." "Me, I try to bring together", he then said. At the headquarters of the UMP, sought to calm. "Nicolas Sarkozy had reason to appease things, sliding the Deputy Secretary-General of the party, Hervé Novelli." It is able to avoid the perverse effects of this debate by putting forward the free exercise of worship and place of the Muslim religion in France which is indisputable.

Without openly say, of many elected officials fear that this new debate "is the set of Marine Le Pen". "Even a Mr Copé effort, even a little blah - blah about islam, and in 2012, the FN end"at 25!"" ", has also recently Presidency the President of the national Front.

"There is no taboo questions." "The debate is not illegitimate, but it should be noted some caution," said MP for the Drôme Hervé Mariton, favourable, however, "standing on the national identity debate," but not a single discussion aimed exclusively islam A balance which will be probably difficult to hold, in the light of the pitfalls encountered during the long sequence politics and the media on national identity. "Is this a debate which interests the French." "It is the only question to ask," says Benoist Apparu, Secretary of State for housing, which, in preamble to the UMP convention on secularism, host a seminar on religious freedoms on 2 April. "It should not leave these issues where national front that says anything," he said.

Among the topics on the table, the question of the financing of mosques is particularly controversy. "Once that secularism, intangible and non-negotiable values will be reaffirmed with force, it can then consider to open new rights," defends Benoist Apparu. But the majority seem unwilling to take the risk of "unravel" the law of separation of Church and State, in the words of the integration of the UMP national Secretary, Dominique Paillé. Not sure, either, that the President of the Republic wishes give too light the question of "islam France" that he felt that few have settled.
