As you point out wrt Le Pen
But France’s National Front (FN), often cited as the vanguard of the continent’s Far Right, has drawn very different lessons from the past decade’s electoral chill. The FN has, since its inception, brandished a “blood and soil” anti-Semitism. This fact, and electoral debates within the party, prompted Michel Gurfinkiel, a French political scientist, to suggest that Le Pen was “poised to strike an alliance” with France’s Muslims. If this has not since come to pass, it remains that Gurfinkiel’s deduction stands to reason: “The National Front is surprisingly popular among Muslim immigrants or second-generation Muslim citizens,” he writes. “For all its campaigning about immigration, Mr. Le Pen’s party has always extended support to Arab and Islamic causes abroad, from Saddam’s Iraq to Arafat’s or Hamas Palestine, and from Al Qaeda to Iran. And it is as firmly anti-American and anti-Jewish as the Muslim community itself tends to be.”
This does not describe a conservative party in the European or American style. This describes a fascist party, a specifically socialist fascist party. This is not a far right party at all, but a national socialist party, a radical leftist party with a racialist and nationalist program.
Read Liberal Fascism.
A European conservative party would want to bring back or strengthen the royal or noble role in government. That would be the clearest analog to the original right/left distinction from 1789. An American conservative party would be strict Constitutionalist, almost libertarian, channeling Jefferson and Madison.
