There are more muslims in the east, specifically the areas around the Mediterranean, the south east alpine region, Alsace and the North east near Belgium. The association is clear, only in the capital region is this association broken between amount of muslims and FN support.
The areas that voted for Macron are the same areas that supported Hollande which makes sense since Macron was formerly a member of the socialiste party.
I would post some images to help you visualize this, but I can never seem to get it to work.

Any ideas about this split? Are there more Muslims in the eastern areas?
That's what I thought based on what I know of Marseilles, Provence etc. You also have to understand how this works in a societal context; it's usually areas with high "minority" percentages where you find the greatest tension. Instead, people on the net were coming up either with fanciful explanations or were stymied.
By contrast, the Muslims love France, when they come into the country they come in from the East or the South East. The arrival of Muslim immigrants has caused discomfort for the French. The Muslims love the French, but the question is, do the French feel the same way about them?
I'm not really sure what you're getting at here. Maybe you'd like to ask the native French victims of terrorism who have been living in the territory of France for the last 20,000 years. A little hypocritical yourself no? Even you don't consider yourself French, and identify as "Chiwanese" yet you live on their land. Let's see how China or Taiwan would feel if 10,000's of white immigrants moved to your land and refused to assimilate to Chinese customs that had been thousands of years in development.

The consensus among academics is that there is some correlation between high unemployment and the electoral support for the FN. The persistence of high levels of unemployment is the direct cause of Le Pen's party's rise in deprived areas and FN voters are less likely to have school-leaving certificates, making them more vulnerable to economic downturns.

There is also the east-west dichotomy in wealth and the eastern regions which supported Macron are much wealthier than the western regions in terms of GDP. To make matters worse, France is facing its highest rates of poverty since 1997 as unemployment climbs to record levels.

This map is a nearly perfect reflection of the departments with a high percentage of Muslims.Any ideas about this split? Are there more Muslims in the eastern areas?

Muslims may love France but I really don't think they love the French. French lifestyle and culture this the antithesis of how a good Muslim should live. They are sexually liberated, irreligious, drink wine and eat pork sausages. That's why the tensions run so deeply. The hate and intolerance is mutual. The French orange just afraid of Muslim terrorist. They have experienced Muslim youths burning thousands of cars, verbally or physically assaulting them in the street, and threatening to destroy their liberal values by imposing Sharia law in the country. There is no love either way between the two parties.
Le Pen's mistake was to take an anti-EU stance. If she had been more mainstream for the economy, she could have been elected president. What French people want is someone who will improve the economy and get rid of the Muslims. Le Pen is just not credible for the economy. That's her main weakness.
The way it is presented in the news, I forgive you for thinking that Le Pen actually resigned from her party. But that is not what happened. She just resigned as party president, to dedicate herself fully to her role of presidential candidate for France. But she of course still belongs to the Front National Party. Elected French presidents traditionally resign as party leader. That's just a PR stunt to give the impression that she's confident enough that she will win the election. If she loses, she would of course get back control of her own party.FRANCE’S far-right presidential hopeful Marine Le Pen says she is temporarily stepping down as head of her National Front party.
LOL
Macron received the backing of French President Francois Hollande in May’s presidential run-off, citing “the risk for our country’s future” if Marine Le Pen won.
Well, she likes to shock us all doesn't she? She kicked her own father out of his own party and now she resigns...
Wait, I did a search in French, I could not find any news like this today. Could this be fake news?
I spoke to my husband about the French election. He thinks the Muslims love the French system not the French. The French system is too generous. They all want to come to France and get a piece of that.
I know for a fact that there are some Muslims in France and in Belgium; on the surface they are Muslims, and they insist on their religions and their culture while residing in France or Belgium. However behind closed doors they have sex with French or Belgium men. Yet, to get married that would pose a problem with their families so they ended up breaking up. Now, my question is would you have sex with people you don’t like? Especially with women who come from an upbringing of a modest culture.
I also have some half French half Moroccan or Algerian friends. Their parents are no longer together, and they have no religion. They think they are French and they see themselves as French. So in these situations, their parents were together then they broke up. Are you suggesting that these are all white marriages? There are no sentiments all at, they are only doing that for one reason, to access the French system? Nevertheless, the French accept them as French. They say something like no, Arabs are not French but XYZ, his mum is French. He was born here hence he is French.
They also love French fashion and cuisines. French fashion is very sexy. I would not wear those if I were to visit families in Malaysia for example. My parents would complain on my cleavages. Dressing up in low cut dresses is considered as inappropriate behaviour in countries like Malaysia. So, I have to find clothing that hides my figure if I were to visit there.
In Algeria, where my husband went on vacation once, he saw girls in very short dresses, and yet in France they insist of dressing up in a way that nobody can see who they are talking to. That is much more extreme than how I would dress in Malaysia.
I know a Muslim in Malaysia, he is OK to have meals with the Chinese. He drinks beer, as long as you tell him that this is not beer! He eats pork as long as you tell him that these are not pork!
I know another Muslim lady who told me that some Muslims have lived together before they got married.
The Muslims have changed some parts of the French culture to fit their own, instead of eating pork sausages they eat Merguez for example. Muslims eat French cuisines without the pork. They have localised it to fit their own.
Minty, I love french cuisine, and I love sexy women, whatever language they speak, do I therefore love the french?
The traditional Muslim community does not like the french, and Muslims that integrate with the french people are seen as traitors.
Sometimes they are facing racism and discrimination, but often they are raised with the idea that all frenchmen are racist and that the whole french society is against them. They are told that the french will never accept them and that they should stay in their own community. As a matter of facts they are much more racist then the french themselves - generaly speaking.
