Far-right National Front leader Marine Le Pen said on Friday it would prevent schools from offering non-pork alternatives to Muslim pupils in the 11 towns it won in local elections, saying such arrangements were contrary to France's secular values.龙腾网 http://www.ltaaa.com
France's republic has a strict secular tradition enforceable by law, but faith-related demands have risen in recent years, especially from the country's five-million-strong Muslim minority, the largest in Europe.
'We will not accept any religious demands in school menus,' Le Pen told RTL radio. 'There is no reason for religion to enter the public sphere, that's the law.'
Pork is forbidden under Jewish and Muslim dietary laws.
Marine Le Pen says schools in towns run by her National Front party will stop serving non-pork alternatives to Muslim children

The mayor of Arveyres, Benoit Gheysens told AFP the move was being taken because of the cost of providing alternative meals, many of which went to waste.
'Often children who did not take the substitute dinner complained as well and left the pork. It distressed the staff to see how much food was wasted,' Gheysens said.
In the eastern town of Hayanges FN mayor Fabien Engelmann has also proposed a 'Pork Fest' to liven up the town centre, a plan he insists is not designed to offend Muslims but which will do little to alleviate high local unemployment.

France has seen periodic controversies over schools that substitute beef or chicken for pork from menus to cater to Muslim children.
Some of the FN's new mayors have complained there are too many halal shops in their towns.
The party won control of 11 town halls and a large district in the port city of Marseille in municipal elections on Sunday, more than double its record from the 1990s.
Le Pen hailed the victory as showing the party had finally established itself as France's third political force behind ruling Socialists and mainstream conservatives, and predicts a strong showing in May's European Parliament elections.

Good for her, we can't get alcohol in certain Muslim countries. She has more balls than our lot here. Wish she would emigrate to the UK.

I support UKIP wholeheartedly, but I'm not happy about Le Pen. Why be gratuitously insulting to people of different religious faiths. Are we going to force vegitarian kids to eat pork? Is this the most vital policy that her party has in their portfolio. If so it will cause HUGE divisions within France and make those divisions greater.

As much as you should respect people's religious beliefs you also should respect the beliefs of the country that you live in. European countries that have a high immigration rate are in danger of losing their identity because they have to be so politically correct. I support multiculturalism whole heartedly but when are we going to stand up for our beliefs and what makes a country ours? People are so afraid of being racist that they're scared to stand up for their own beliefs and values. Equality and respect is a good thing but where do we draw the line?

Message to David Cameron don't dare to consider following France on this. The EU will likely slap you down hard( with a wet lettuce leaf).
得到消息后卡梅伦不敢考虑今后的法国。欧盟可能会一巴掌把你拍扁(用湿生菜叶子)。

You shouldn't praise this woman. She's an extremist. During the last presidential election, a part of her program was to hold a referendum about the death penalty...Just saying

Great! It's not the world's duty to cater to islam, nor is it the world's duty or right to harass them.
太好了。迎合伊斯兰教可不是世界的责任，世界也没有责任或权力去骚扰他们。
