Gladly. There are better editors out there whose authors do not try to make political statements, as if their opinion mattered more because of software they happened to produce.
I don't think there's anything wrong with having a political opinion - especially if the opinion is, "People who hate me for no good reason are kind of assholes."
> as if their opinion mattered more
I don't think the author thinks their opinion matters MORE - I think the author thinks their opinion is worth voicing.
I expect this is exactly the intention, to scare FN supporters away from the project and its community. Open source projects in particular are defined by the people involved with them, and the author does not wish to work (for free) with and for people who threaten his ability to live peacefully in his home country.

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-02-24/anti-immig... Opinion polls like Ifop show Cukierman’s comments reflect a growing reality. Between the last two presidential elections in 2007 and 2012, Jewish voters supporting the FN, the party’s acronym, more than tripled. The shift came after Marine Le Pen took over the helm in 2011, steering clear of her party-founder father Jean-Marie Le Pen’s anti-Semitic stance. In a comment to Bloomberg on the side lines of a conference in Paris Tuesday, Marine Le Pen made common cause with France’s Jews.
“It’s the rise of Islamism that hits, hurts and kills,” she said. “It’s time to fight the danger threatening French Jews.” She welcomed Cukierman’s comments, saying “his words reveal an internal debate within the Jewish community. The comfortable idea that anti-Semitism is a right-wing theme is not true anymore and hasn’t been for decades.”
The reason why some French Jews for example support Front National is because its leaders see young Muslims as the greatest threat to Jews in France. "Fascists" are not the only ones supporting FN. See the link below.

I'm against discrimination in all its form, I'm against amalgamating a group of people and generalizing that the faults of a small minority are the faults of everyone in that group. Terrorist attacks were awful but they're a small minority of fanatics.
