France's Le Pen To Strike a Deal With Muslims

It's obviously in English, but it's not making any sense.

I hope that the neocon Sun ran a bad story. I defended Le Pen as the salvation of France against the Muslim hordes.
More importantly, Le Pen's possible defection sets back the French nationalists another election cycle or more. Lat election Le Pen got 20% of the vote for president, forcing a run off between himself and Chirac. With the beur violence this fall, he could do far better next time. If the story is correct, Le Pen is surrendering at the moment he should be triumphant.
It seems that Count Philippe de Villiers of the Movement for France (MPF) may be the last supporter of a Christian France and Western Civilization.

Muslims pray during a protest against cartoons published by a Danish newspaper, outside the Danish consulate in New York, Friday, Feb. 17, 2006. Jyllands-Posten, first printed the prophet pictures by 12 cartoonists in September. The newspaper has since apologized to Muslims for the cartoons, one of them showing Muhammad wearing a bomb-shaped turban with an ignited fuse. Other Western newspapers, mostly in Europe but also some in the United States, have reprinted the pictures, asserting their news value and the right to freedom of expression. (AP Photo/Dima Gavrysh

The National Front is surprisingly popular among Muslim immigrants or second-generation Muslim citizens. For all its campaigning about immigration, Mr. Le Pen's party has always extended support to Arab and Islamic causes abroad, from Saddam's Iraq to Arafat's or Hamas Palestine, and from Al Qaeda to Iran. And it is as firmly anti-American and anti-Jewish as the Muslim community itself tends to be.
