French interior minister claims some civilisations ‘superior’

The interior minister has long been accused of wooing radical conservative
sentiment with his firm stance on reducing immigration, Muslim prayer in
public, and attempts to toughen bans on Muslim headscarves.

But with some studies showing popular support for the National Front as high
as 20 per cent, as well as widespread concerns that many French Muslims of
immigrant origin refuse to assimilate, Guéant’s controversial positions are
viewed as a strategic electoral advantage for French president Nicolas
Sarkozy, who is still lagging in the polls.

On Sunday Guéant insisted he had no regrets for suggesting certain cultures
are, “more advanced” than others. “I don’t regret it, but I regret that some
on the left continue to extrapolate little sentences from their context,” he
said on French RTL radio.
