It appears that the local Muslim council head is using this incident to call upon France to teach the Muslim religion in its schools. How do you say dhimmitude in French?

That's the point. A way to break the strict secularism of the french state (and french public school), due to the 1905's law which separates state and churchs. This law forbides all kind of financing by the state to any religion in France (except in Lorraine and Alsace). The dream of a lot of muslim autorities (and of some protestant autorities too...) is to change that law. Then the towns would have the legal possibility to finance the construction of mosques, to pay imam's and islam teacher's wages and so on... A new kind of "razzia" ?

Boy, this guy knows how our intellectual elites (pbut) operate. You create a problem yourself, then demand the government support your propaganda campaign. He learned from the AIDS situation. Unrestricted homosexual sex lead to an epidemic of sexually transmitted diseases, not only AIDS. AIDS was then used as an excuse to shove explicit "sex education" down the throats of kindergartners and everyone else. It was used as an excuse to mainstream homosexually.

Wow. It's like making a crack in a dam. If the French don't hold firm on that resolve to separate church and state, then there is no holding back the flood of demands that will be made upon it. I think in this case the Protestants and Catholics would be better served to uphold the separation. If a religion needs tax monies (as opposed to tax exemption like we have here) to support itself, there is something wrong with that religion.
