In fact, some intellectuals close to the right have long advocated an opening towards Europe’s Muslim immigrants and their descendants. Where they can vote, so the argument goes, Muslim traditionalists would rather vote for a conservative party, even if it has Catholic roots, than for a secular left-wing party perceived as advocating loose morals.
实际上，亲右翼的某些知识分子很久以来一直鼓吹为欧洲穆斯林移民及其后裔在政治上留出更多余地。他们的说法是，只要他们有权投票，穆斯林传统主义者宁可把票投给有天主教根基的保守派，也不会支持那些被看作鼓吹放荡行为的世俗的左翼党派。
