That will be the rule now. There will be no exceptions.\u201d<br \/>The tough line taken by Sarkozy, who is seeking re-election in the April-May vote, sine the Toulouse killings has boosted his approval ratings.<br \/>Polls show that more than 70 percent of voters approved of Sarkozy&#8217;s handling of the Toulouse incident, reducing frontrunner Francois Hollande to the role of bystander before the two-round election on April 22 and May 6.<br \/>Sarkozy&#8217;s ratings have inched up.<br \/>He now stands 1-2 points ahead of Hollande in some polls for the first round but remains 8 points behind his rival in surveys for the run-off.<br \/>Sarkozy was a tough interior minister for most of the five years before he was elected president in 2007 and was best known for earthy promises to clean away &#8220;yobs&#8221; with a power-hose.<br \/>But his record in reducing violent crime is a matter of dispute, with statistics inconclusive, but his outspoken determination reassures many voters who see the left as soft on crime.<br \/><em><br \/>Source: OnIslam &amp; News Agencies<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>France deported five Muslims, including three imams, on Monday, April 2, in the latest crackdown on people accused of preaching hatred in the European country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2041","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
