i don't remember a time France wasn't reactionary (in my lifetime obviously). they were in the islamophobia business way before it was cool everywhere else.

France has been uncomfortably xenophobic for as long as I can remember. It's never really been addressed.

As I've previously elaborated on in a comment in reply to a similar statement - this has less to do with being anti-islam and more to do with being anti-religion. The French have had a long history with organized religion.

Though Islam has certainly become the primary target over the last 20 years.
