France's hardline immigration minister Eric Besson is threatening to sue over hotly denied claims he is about to convert to Islam to marry his young Muslim girlfriend.
The rumours, reported on French news website Bakchich Info, come as the 51-year-old spearheads a campaign against alien religions and cultures swamping his country.
He has already called for the Muslim burkha to be banned, and wants potential immigrants to take French tests and swear allegiance to the Republic.
This particularly applies to those arriving from Muslim countries who do not share the same values as France’s predominantly Roman Catholic population.
Divorced Mr Besson has admitted that he currently lives with a Paris art school student who is the great-granddaughter of Wassila Bourguiba, the wife of the former Tunisian president, Habib Bourguiba.
The father-of-three's younger lover was named as Yasmine Tordjman, who is in her 20s.
Before Christmas he travelled to the north African country to meet Ms Tordjman's mother, prompting speculation that he would re-marry in June.
Islam does not allow mixed marriages, meaning the minister would have to convert from Catholicism to Islam.

Don’t be like THIS guy: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2448451/posts
That's a laugh. France is one of the most assertively non-religious countries on earth, rivaling Japan and China.
Why does HE have to convert ? Why can’t SHE convert ?
Is the woman more important than the God he believes in ( assuming he really takes his religion seriously ) ?
What is it with middle aged men and nubile young women anyways?
He wants to relive his youth again? He fights against burkas all his life, then turns round and allegedly wants to convert to a religion that forces burkas on women, because he wants a young female body next to him at night?
Well, at least the woman is hot.
Because if she converts, he will be holding her funeral shortly thereafter.
She looks like Huma.
I don’t think so........HC only wished Huma was that good looking.
LOL. How are things back at the monastry these days for you?

Yeah, didn’t think so, really. ;-)
Probably gives him a Huma, too.
