A little critical thinking would wonder what this number means, and it is not that they support the actions of ISIS, for sure. There are not 16 % of Muslims in France (about 10 %), and I doubt every Muslim supports ISIS (I do not know who Ms Moutet is, but her racism is bothering).

BTW, did they explain what ISIS was before giving this poll, or did they just say it was a Muslim group (that may be confused with pro Palestian groups) in Iraq opposing the US?
