French President Hollande Believes France Has A ‘Problem With Islam’



National Post/The Telegraph: Explosive new book says Francois Hollande believes France has a ‘problem with Islam’

The only way to avoid an Islamic replacement of Western Europe is extreme action. Extreme action is too extreme for the moderates/majority and they will likely just move to ever shrinking areas they feel comfortable in.
