"There are an estimated five to six million individuals of Muslim origin in the country (8 to 10 percent of the population), although estimates of how many of these are practicing vary widely. According to a 2004 survey, 36 percent of Muslims identify themselves as regularly observing traditional rites and practices. However, according to press reports of a September 2006 poll, 88 percent of Muslim respondents report that they were observing the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, a marked increase over previously recorded levels of observance. According to press reports, there are more than 2,000 mosques in the country. Protestants make up 3 percent of the population, the Jewish and Buddhist faiths each represent 1 percent, and those of the Sikh faith less than 1 percent."

There has been a history of Islam in France for many years now; the Great Mosque was built in Paris in the 1920s as a sign of recognition to the fallen Muslim Algerians at the battle of Verdun. Male Muslim immigration was high in the 1960s and 1970s. These first-generation immigrants came primarily from Algeria and other North African colonies.

A large number of these Muslims live in the working-class suburbs.
