The reactions would probably be just the same, although that depends on how you would characterize things if more Islamophobes posted on FT on this topic.
France has the EU's largest population of muslims -- including population of muslims of European ethnicities -- but not sure why that would make a difference.
Where is Dominique Strauss-Kahn on this topic? He certainly didn't care.
