Stanley, Those are indeed disturbing numbers, but it would be interesting to find out how many people actually voted. Without knowing, my guess is that this was a poll that was always going to be skewed towards the more fundamentalist-inclined. After all, the apathetic, the secular (and even, perhaps, those whose interest in their religion is less than all-consuming) are hardly likely to take the trouble to participate in a vote of this kind despite the fact that they will all be included in the total of five million ‘Muslims’ for the purposes of the French bureaucracy.
