Veiled Threat

Can French secularism survive Islam?

This is a link to a fantastic article by Christopher Caldwell that discusses some of the issues France is dealing with related to the religious practices of some of its citizens. This normally conservative magazine has presented an extremely even-handed analysis of the history of the issues, and the current facts on the ground.

In my humble opinion, a must-read for anyone who wants to be able to speak intelligently on this issue.

Note: The article is split in two (pain in the a**). In order to avoid the need to 'continue', it is worth while opening the printer-friendly version (upper right hand corner) and read it all in one shot.
