Doug Ireland says that the New York Sun's claims of Le Pen allying with Muslims (presumably against Jews) are bunk. "'Claiming that Le Pen could get 'many' Muslim votes, as the Sun does, is equivalent to having pretended that George Wallace could get a lot of black votes in Harlem,' sneers a friend at Radio France..."
