French Deputies Against Turkey in EU

It seems there are some in France who are re-thinking this Eurabia idea. From [1] Dunya Online, "French deputies argue against Turkey's EU membership bid," with thanks to Two Stellas.

Looking towards France's May 29 referendum on the European Union Constitution, a group of 25 French deputies yesterday published an opinion piece in French daily Le Figaro critical of Turkey.

The piece entitled, "How could we accept those who say: Our minarets are our bayonets," urged the French public to reject Turkey's EU membership in favor of a "special partnership" arrangement. The title refers to a poem publicly recited seven years ago by Recep Tayyip Erdogan, before he became prime minister and disavowed a number of his earlier views.
