"ISLAM HAS ITS FULL PLACE IN FRANCE, FOR THE ISLAM OF FRANCE IS ALSO FRANCE," DECLARED THE INTERIOR MINISTER ON THURSDAY, DEMONSTRATING A DESIRE FOR APPEASEMENT ON THE OCCASION OF THE INAUGURATION OF THE GRAND MOSQUE OF STRASBOURG. HOWEVER, MANUEL VALLS ALSO SHOWED DETERMINATION WITH REGARD TO THOSE WHO, IN THE NAME OF ISLAM, FOMENT TROUBLE. "THE PREACHERS OF HATRED, THE PARTISANS OF OBSCURANTISM, FUNDAMENTALISTS, THOSE WHO ATTACK OUR VALUES AND OUR INSTITUTIONS, THOSE WHO DENY THE RIGHTS OF WOMEN, THOSE PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE THEIR PLACE IN THE REPUBLIC. THOSE WHO ARE ON OUR TERRITORY TO DEFY OUR LAWS, TO ATTACK THE FOUNDATIONS OF OUR SOCIETY DO NOT HAVE TO REMAIN THERE. (I WILL NOT) HESITATE TO EXPEL THOSE WHO CLAIM TO BE OF ISLAM, AND REPRESENT A GRAVE THREAT TO PUBLIC ORDER, BY NOT RESPECTING THE LAWS AND THE VALUES OF THE REPUBLIC." HE NONETHELESS EMPHASIZED: "TO BE A FRENCHMAN, OR TO LIVE IN FRANCE, DOES NOT MEAN YOU MUST RENOUNCE YOUR FAITH OR DENY YOUR ORIGINS."
REGARDING THE CALM THAT PREVAILED IN FRANCE ON SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 22, WHILE THE REST OF THE WORLD WITNESSED VIOLENT PROTESTS AGAINST CHARLIE HEBDO AND THE ANTI-ISLAM MOVIE, VALLS SAID:
"RACISM, FUNDAMENTALISM, THIS IS NOT ISLAM." AND HE APPLAUDED "THE WISDOM OF THE MUSLIM LEADERS" WHO HAD URGED CALM AND THE "DISCERNMENT AND MATURITY THAT THE MUSLIMS SHOWED" WHEN FACED WITH SUCH PROVOCATIONS.
"IT IS TIME FOR THE ISLAM OF FRANCE TO FULLY ACCEPT ITS RESPONSIBILITIES AND TO CONSULT WITH THE STATE ON THE REAL PROBLEMS: FINANCING THE MOSQUES, TRAINING IMAMS AND PRISON CHAPLAINS SINCE RADICAL ISLAM FLOURISHES IN OUR PRISONS, ESTABLISHING SPECIAL AREAS OF OUR CEMETERIES FOR MUSLIMS, MANAGING THE PILGRIMAGE TO MECCA. MY HORIZON IS CLEAR: I WANT FRENCH CHAPLAINS, WELL-TRAINED FRENCH IMAMS AND EVENTUALLY FRENCH FINANCING," THE INTERIOR MINISTER AFFIRMED.
NOTE: SUPER! INSTEAD OF RIDDING FRENCH SOIL OF ISLAM, HE WANTS TO ENSURE THAT ALL MUSLIMS ON FRENCH SOIL ARE LEGALLY FRENCH. NEVER FEAR: IF THEY COMMIT MAYHEM HE WILL DEPORT THEM. TO WHERE?
FRENCH READERS OF THE ABOVE ARTICLE REACTED FAVORABLY. THEY SEE HIM AS THE FIRST MINISTER TO ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING POSITIVE. THE DISCREPANCIES IN HIS REMARKS DID NOT DISTURB THEM.
UNFORTUNATELY, THERE IS MORE. THE LOCAL PAPER DNA (DERNI`eRES NOUVELLES D'ALSACE) DESCRIBES THE EVENT AND GIVES ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE INTERIOR MINISTER'S RIDICULOUS PANDERING:
REGARDING LAST SATURDAY:
"THE ISLAM OF FRANCE SHONE THROUGH THE STRENGTH OF ITS SERENITY."
THE ARTICLE QUOTES VALLS AS SAYING:
"THE MOSQUE IS LESS THAN TWO KILOMETERS FROM THE NOTRE-DAME CATHEDRAL, GIVING ISLAM ITS FULL PLACE IN FRANCE."
NOTE: AND, WE COULD ADD, REMOVING FROM CATHOLICISM ITS PREEMINENT POSITION, IF NOT DEGRADING IT UTTERLY.
DNA ALSO GIVES
"STONES HAVE NO HOPE EXCEPT TO BE STONES. BUT WHEN THEY COLLABORATE, THEY COME TOGETHER AND BECOME A TEMPLE," NOTED MAYOR ROLAND RIES, QUOTING SAINT-EXUP'eRY. WHILE AHMED TOUFIK (MOROCCAN MINISTER OF RELIGIOUS AFFAIRS) RECALLED THAT IN THE MALEKITE RITE OF MOROCCO, THE ROLE OF A MOSQUE IS: "TO ENLIGHTEN, COUNSEL LOVE, AWAKENING AND HOPE".
BELOW A VIEW OF THE MOSQUE. IS THIS FRANCE?
BELOW, CATHOLIC AND JEWISH RELIGIOUS LEADERS AT THE INAUGURATION. THE REGION THAT INCLUDES STRASBOURG ESCAPES THE 1905 LAW SEPARATING CHURCH AND STATE BECAUSE WHEN THE LAW WAS PASSED ALSACE-MOSELLE WAS NOT PART OF FRANCE, BUT PART OF GERMANY. WHEN THE REGION WAS WON BACK BY FRANCE IN WWI, THE LAW WAS NOT MADE RETROACTIVE.
