Only the rebirth of nationalism can reject Islam.

With the National Front and its Leader Jean-Marie Le Pen, France is perhaps on the verge to recover her identity and freedom. In seven week's time now, with the results of the French presidential election, Europe will know if she can release from the islamic threat and the bondage of Brussels' technocrats.

Such an outcome would be a true revolution, the clash of which would be for Europe the same as the one in 1789. For the time being, with a 10% muslim population, France is on the way to a lebanon type conflict. Only the rebirth of a strong national identity can stop immigration and proliferation of islamism.
