Political aspect of Toulouse killings The proximity of France's presidential ballot has added a political aspect to the killings and candidates have been keen to react to events - but also keen not to be seen as trying to make politcal capital out of them. "We are all united behind the same cause: to never let any of us be exposed to a terrorist condemnation," said Socialist candidate Francois Hollande who is leading in the polls. Immigrants and Islam have been recurrent themes of Prseident Nicolas Sarkozy's campaign for a second term. The National Front leader has called for a war on fundamentalism. In an interview with Euronews, Marine Le Pen said this event could rally people to that fight. "This act will have an impact, but I hope a positive impact," she said. An impact, I believe, on national unity - the national unity of French Muslims, Jews and Christians who will come together to fight against this fundamentalism. Fight against these politcal-religious claims of a radical Islam which we should never have allowed to take hold in our land.
