A majority of the population. On Thursday, a survey by CSA for CNEWS Europe 1 and the JDD
(Journal du Dimanche), reveals that 64% of the French believe that Islam is incompatible with the values of the French Republic. On the contrary, 35% of the people asked believe that this religion is "compatible" while only 1% had no opinion.
In detail, 66% of women and 64% of men think that Islam is not compatible with the values of the Republic. In terms of age of persons surveyed, those 50-64 years of age are the most numerous who think that (75%) ahead of those 65+ years of age (70%) and those 18-24 years of age (64%).
If we turn to socio-professional categories (CSP), the opinions are relatively equivalent. In effect, 66% of inactive people believe that Islam is incompatible with the values of the Republic. Two points higher than the CSP-, which represents the most disadvantaged people (64%), and three points higher in comparison to CSP+ (63%) (more advantaged people).
An important divide between the left and the right
Those surveyed having a political affiliation more to the left mostly consider Islam to be compatible with the Republic, with 62% of socialist supporters, 68% of Insoumis supporters, and 69% supporters of the Greens.
On the other hand, those French close to the ideas of the presidential majority think that the religion is incompatible with the values of the Republic (58%). A number more pronounced on the right, with 90% of the Republican voters, and the extreme right, with 88% of supporters of the Rassemblement National.
Certain political leaders have repeatedly stated that Islam was not compatible with the values of the Republic, such as Eric Zemmour, the president of Reconquête. "Islam is no diffrent from Islamism," he said on CNEWS on Tuesday.
For his part, Eric Ciotti, president of the UDR, has changed his mind on this question. Last June 2, in an interview given to Nice Presse, the Alpes-Maritimes deputy retracted his previous remarks from 30 years ago. "One can believe in whatever God one wants. Islam is compatible with the Republic, like all other religions, as long as they respect, they submit to the law and not the other way around, " he stated.
*Survey conducted on June 10-11 by self-administered questionnaire online on a nationally representative sample of 1,010 persons age 18 and over, according to the quota method.
