France's interior minister has walked into a firestorm of controversy with his weekend comments that some civilizations — notably his own — are worth more than others.
(...)
The campaign chief for Socialist Party candidate Francois Hollande — the front-runner in polls ahead of presidential elections in April and May — called Gueant's comments "a premeditated, willful, conscious gesture" to build "bridges between the right and the extreme-right."
He's "targeting Muslims, he's targeting Islam," Pierre Moscovici said on LCI television.
