All photos: AFPFrance has been left divided after hidden cameras footage revealed men in an "Islamic" bar in Paris telling women they weren't welcome. Amar Salhi is still amazed at how his scruffy bar north of Paris sparked an election scandal after it featured on national television in December during a report about Islam and women. "You're not in Paris here... it's a different mentality, it's like the village back home (in north Africa)," said another. One of the women left disgusted, comparing the situation in the multi-ethnic suburb of Sevran to Saudi Arabia. "French Muslims feel like they are in a besieged fortress, they are constantly put in the spotlight," he said.
