Has Le Pen betrayed France?

I would certainly hope not, but there have been some discussion about that over at View From The Right. It appears now that Le Pen is trying to placate to France's Muslim population. Considering the recent mess Muslims made throughout France, this makes little if any sense. Not only that, it is a betrayal to France's Catholic heritage and it's status as being " the Eldest Daughter of the Church". On a related note, it is reported that traditionalist Catholics make up 50% of Le Pen's support base, so these recent actions may cause some headaches for him.

I used to admire Le Pen very much, I felt he was a true French patriot. However it seems I'll probably have to place more faith in Philippe de Villiers.

Here are links to the discussions at hand:
