There has been a history of Islam in France for many years now; the Great Mosque was built in Paris in the 1920s as a sign of recognition to the fallen Muslim Algerians at the battle of Verdun. Male Muslim immigration was high in the 1960s and 1970s. These first-generation immigrants came primarily from Algeria and other North African colonies. These immigrants are now mainly retired from the workforce. The second-generation Muslims, born in France, are actually not designated "immigrants" as they were born on French soil. A large number of these Muslims live in the working-class suburbs.
