For Mr. Amghar, Islam provides more structure and discipline than other religions. It is a way to “refuse modernism,” get back to a society with more family values and a clearer distinction between men and women. “Islam has a peaceful effect on the converts,” Mr. Amghar said. “The world looks clearer after they’ve converted.”

...

But there is rising anxiety here about the influence of Islam, especially conservative Salafist Islam, particularly among those on the center-right. Islam is regularly at the center of heated debates about the nature and future of France and its culture, and politicians can win attention and support by criticizing the expansion of Muslim customs into the wider public sphere: for example, the rise of women-only sessions in public swimming pools or the increasing availability of halal food.


Sounds exactly like what Tea Partiers preach here !

I've never understood why Islam is such a politically correct religion. They hate gays worse than all but the most extreme fundamentalist Christians do. Islam called for them to be put to death, yet leftists (not liberals) give it a pass they refuse to give Christianity and Judaism.

Islam is reportedly the fastest growing religion in the world.
Most Muslims are not terrorists.
Not all terroists are Muslim.

I'm more concerned with inner city terroists, the gangs.

Your right!!!

Islam forces people to revert to the stone age, accept mutilation of a person, female castration, burying people up to their necks and then use rocks to bash their heads in....

It demands you believe literally ever word in the koran, demands that women take a lower position in society than dogs and brings back the us and them tribe mentality....

Look, France wanted this multi-ethnic society, now they have it, not working out? TS

The only correlation I see between France and America is France is a welfare state and America is turning into one...

What do you mean not working out? France has *some* extremist Muslims not all, just like how we have *some* extremists right-wing radical Republicans/Tea Partiers and not every Republican is a crazy radical.

It all depends on the country. Not all predominately Muslim countries have laws concerning sex. Some only have male on male laws. And some do indeed punish homosexuality with death.

That's bull. Liberals don't give Islam a pass. That lame ass narrative is getting old.

Frankly, I have the same contempt for all 3 fairytales equally.

As do I, although Judaism isn't quite as bad as the other two (IMHO). They have their share of fanatics, but there are relatively fewer of them.

This is really not news. Since France used to control an area in Northern Africa, it allows many Muslim Africans who have French citizenship to move to France.
