Thousands Protest Islamophobia in France

Lisa Bryant

   PARIS - Thousands of people marched in Paris and other French cities
   against Islamophobia targeting Western Europe's largest Muslim
   population.

   Muslims joining the march through the rainy streets of the capital say
   they have had enough.

   Mohamed, here with his sister Khadija, says the two feel completely
   integrated in French society. But he says he's faced discrimination --
   including being asked to change his name during a job interview to
   something more traditionally French.
