French racists steal poster idea from Swiss racists

If you’re going to make a xenophobic poster, at least make it original:

The Algerian government has formally protested to Paris about a poster which associates its flag with Islamisme, or radical forms of Islam. The poster shows France covered by an Algerian flag and a forest of mosque minarets. The slogan reads: “Non à l’Islamisme”.

It closely resembles a poster published by a nationalist party in Switzerland

before a mosque-building referendum last November. The Swiss advertising agency that devised the original poster said it planned to sue Mr Le Pen’s party, the National Front, for plagiarism.
