Muslim men perform Friday prayers at Abou Bakr Elfedik' mosque mosque in the centre of Roubaix, northern France, December 11, 2009. Over half of French people believe Islam is compatible with society, a poll showed on Thursday, adding fuel to a public row over religion and identity. The role of Islam in France, home to Europe's biggest Muslim population, has come to dominate an increasingly vitriolic debate on national identity launched by President Nicolas Sarkozy, with the poll reflecting the public split.
