For those that don't really know (not that I'm an expert on French politics), the National Front is a far right nationalist party. They have what some might say is a controversial past. The above in bold, by any definition, amounts to ethnic cleansing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Front_(France) Also, though it's not as harsh as it used to be, the National Front would still deport you if you happened to be sufficiently Muslim and unemployed.
