Abstract
Is islamophobia the result of an “excess” of Foreign workers in the West ? I doubt it very much, especially when referring to the case of France. Although we have a very high rate of unemployment (12 %), the difficulty to find workers in the most important economic zones concerns 40 % of the jobs and the unfilled positions are evaluated at 20 %. As the migrants represent 0.02 % of the population, one cannot seriously pretend that Foreigners take French jobs.
