Russian TV: France is outraged with new cultural standards hammered out by French Interior Minister Claude Gueant, who insists that all civilizations “are not of equal value” – and that France needs protection from the inferior ones.
“Contrary to what the left’s relativist ideology says, for us all civilizations are not of equal value,” the French Interior Minister said on Saturday as quoted by Agence France-Presse.
Gueant never used the word “Muslim,” but the record of his immigration comments, as well as the picture he drew of an inferior civilization, left little room for deliberation.
“Those that defend liberty, equality and fraternity, seem to us superior to those that accept tyranny, the subservience of women, and social and ethnic hatred,” he said.
Gueant also stressed the need to “protect our civilization.”
On Sunday, Gueant said he still stood by his remarks, but accused critics of taking his words out of context.
The Interior Minister provoked a new wave of criticism from the opposition and in the public. And with less than three months left before France’s next presidential election, Gueant’s patron President Nicolas Sarkozy may try to create some distance between himself and the Interior Ministry. His party has already labeled the standards as symptomatic of “electoral and moral decline.”
