Majority of French back a ban on Muslim Brotherhood affiliates

A majority of the public in France want the Muslim Brotherhood banned from operations there:
The majority of the French public is in favour of banning groups linked to the Muslim Brotherhood network, which seeks to advance Islamist principles in the West, such as the adoption of Sharia law.

A survey from the Ifop polling agency found that 53 per cent of people in France are in favour of a ban on Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated organisations, Le Figaro reported. This compares to 23 per cent who oppose a ban and 24 per cent who are undecided on the issue.

Surprisingly, the survey found support for a ban across the political spectrum. According to Ifop, those who supported the Républicains candidate in the last general election were most in favour at 83 per cent, followed by 69 per cent of those who voted for anti-Islamification stalwart Éric Zemmour.

Perhaps more intriguingly, the same percentage of supporters of the populist National Rally leader Marine Le Pen, the liberal President Emmanuel Macron, and the far-left leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon were in favour of a ban, at 54 per cent each.

The survey found a significant divide in opinion by gender: 62 per cent of men favour a ban, compared with just 43 per cent of women.
That is strange, though it wouldn't be shocking if that was deliberately distorted and skewed to undermine the mission of the poll, considering how much damage was caused to women's rights over past decades. I'm sure there are more women than expected who do find the MB abhorrent. And the question is, will Macron for one be willing to take the steps needed to push the MB out?
