Article reports that Nicolas Sarkozy, the French President, joined the growing condemnation of multiculturalism in Europe in February 2011, saying it had damaged national identities.

His comments followed the expression of similar views by David Cameron, the UK Prime Minister, and Angela Merkel, the German Chancellor.

The comments came as far-right parties gained ground across Europe, capitalising on fears of a rising Muslim population.
